Bio
Dr. Julien Gacon is a Research Scientist in the Quantum Computational Science group of IBM Quantum at IBM Research Europe — Zurich. His current research focuses on closing the gap of quantum algorithms and near-term quantum devices on both the algorithm and compiler level. As part of this, he is developing and maintaining the Qiskit SDK.
He received a Doctor of Sciences from EPFL for his thesis on scalable quantum algorithms for noisy quantum computers, and a M.Sc. degree in Computational Science and Engineering from ETH Zurich.
