Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Orlov is a dual-degree researcher combining Quantum Science & Technology and Political Science, with 11 years of experience bridging quantum hardware/software research, policy, and industry consulting. He currently supports user enablement and HPC–quantum chemistry applications at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre while having driven outreach and social-impact research on quantum technologies at TUM’s Quantum Social Lab. His background spans hands-on quantum experiments and software (qubit measurement automation, quantum annealing) as well as strategy work at McKinsey and analytics at Roland Berger, giving him a rare mix of technical depth and commercial fluency. Fluent in translating cutting-edge quantum research into practical workflows and policy-relevant insights, he’s equally comfortable building simulations on HPC systems and communicating societal implications to diverse stakeholders. An understated strength is his interdisciplinary agility—moving between lab code, high-performance computational pipelines, and evidence-based policy research.
