Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAmy B is a Physics PhD candidate at USC specializing in quantum computing with seven years of experience bridging research and industry. She previously led and engineered quantum solutions at Rigetti, contributed to QAOA research at NASA Ames' QuAIL, and has hands-on experience with full-stack quantum hardware bringup and chip retuning. Her background blends rigorous experimental physics—dating back to a Harvey Mudd project testing Bell inequalities with quasar-sourced photons—with practical software and systems work at Bloomberg. Based in Los Angeles, she pairs academic depth under Prof. Daniel Lidar with product-minded problem solving, often translating lab results into deployable quantum workflows. An uncommon strength is her cross-domain fluency: machining and optics experience alongside low-level quantum engineering and software deployment.
