Michael Vasmer

I am a researcher working in the exciting field of quantum information. In my work I focus on quantum error correction, i.e., making sure that quantum computers function correctly even when some of their components go wrong. This research is crucial in the quest to build large-scale quantum computers and also has surprising connections to various fields of mathematics, physics, and computer science.

I completed my PhD at University College London under the supervision of Dan Browne. Subsequently, I held a joint postdoctoral fellowship at the Perimeter Institute and the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), where my mentors were Raymond Laflamme and Daniel Gottesman. Most recently, I worked as a Senior Quantum Architecture Scientist at Xanadu and as a Research Scientist at the Perimeter Institute. Currently, I am a visiting fellow at the Perimeter Institute and an associate member of IQC.
