CQE and PME Distinguished Quantum Series: Pedram Roushan

In 2011, Pedram Roushan received his doctorate from Princeton University. His work included performing the first scanning tunneling microscopy on the surface of topological insulators in A. Yazdani’s Laboratory. After three years of post-doctoral studies in the J. Martinis Lab at the University of California, Santa Barbara, he joined the Google quantum hardware lab in 2014, aiming to create a quantum computer. His current research focuses on simulating condensed matter systems with engineered quantum platforms.
