Michael Vasmer
Starting Faculty Position @ INRIA Paris (COSMIQ team)
My research focuses on quantum error correction and fault-tolerant quantum computation: the theory needed to make quantum computers reliable at scale. These problems sit at a rich intersection of computer science, physics, and mathematics, and solving them is a necessary step toward practically useful quantum computation.
I completed my PhD at University College London under the supervision of Dan Browne, then held a joint postdoctoral fellowship at the Perimeter Institute and the Institute for Quantum Computing, where my mentors were Raymond Laflamme and Daniel Gottesman. Before joining INRIA, I was a Senior Quantum Architecture Scientist at Xanadu Quantum Technologies and a Research Scientist at the Perimeter Institute.
