Summary
Alexander Zlokapa is a research-focused physicist and quantum computing scientist with nine years of experience spanning academic and national lab settings, currently a Research Intern at Google Quantum AI while pursuing a PhD at MIT. He brings hands-on experience from Caltech, CERN, SLAC, LIGO, and UC Berkeley, blending experimental and theoretical approaches to quantum information, high-energy physics, and machine learning. Alexander’s work repeatedly lands at the intersection of fundamental physics and applied quantum algorithms, informed by international study at Cambridge and long-term collaboration with top research centers. Colleagues would note his habit of bridging deep theoretical insight with practical implementation—translating complex physics concepts into testable computational experiments.
