Atom Computing’s highly scalable neutral atom technology allows the company to race towards building the first fault-tolerant quantum computers and achieve larger numbers of qubits with each generation of its quantum computing platforms – at a rate of 10x increase per generation. Our engineering teams are continuously exploring technologies and architectures that are multiple generations ahead and we are excited to announce that Dr. Jon Simon and Dr. Eliot Kapit will be helping in the development of Atom’s unique technology.
Dr. Simon is currently an Associate Professor of Physics & Applied Physics, Stanford University, where he focuses on the interface of condensed matter physics and quantum optics. Particularly, he describes his research as “teaching photons to behave like matter, using optical cavities”. His expertise will be crucial in maximizing system performance and using light efficiently.
Dr. Kapit is an Associate Professor of Physics and Director of Quantum Engineering at Colorado School of Mines. His research focuses on quantum information science, particularly on routes to achieve practical and scalable quantum advantage in noisy, near-term hardware. Dr. Kapit, who is already a Scientific Advisor for Atom Computing, will be helping to explore advanced applications that leverage the platform’s unique capabilities.
We look forward to advancing our state-of-the-art technology with Dr. Simon and Dr. Kapit!
