Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlec Eickbusch is a senior research scientist specializing in superconducting qubits, quantum error correction, and quantum control with 11 years of experimental physics and low-temperature lab experience. He progressed from PhD work at Yale on experimental quantum error correction to research scientist and now senior research scientist roles at Google Quantum AI, bridging hands-on device work with scalable quantum systems research. Alec contributes to open-source tools for quantum microwave chip analysis (notably bug fixes and project-specific scripts in the pyEPR library), demonstrating a knack for both core theoretical models and practical software needed for device design. Based in Santa Barbara, he pairs a rare combination of electrical engineering and physics degrees (both with top grades) with industry experience in consulting and hardware verification, enabling rapid translation from lab prototypes to production-ready control methods.
