Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Self is a Senior Research Scientist with a decade of experience in quantum computing and a PhD in theoretical and computational physics from Imperial College London. Currently at Quantinuum, he leads efforts in quantum error correction after prior roles focused on quantum algorithms and machine learning. His publication record spans error mitigation, QML, algorithms, and topological states of matter, reflecting a blend of theoretical depth and practical device-aware research. Based in Cambridge, he combines academic rigor from multiple research associate posts with industry-driven engineering to make near-term quantum systems more reliable. Notably, he transitioned from algorithm and ML research into error correction leadership, signaling a focus on closing the gap between theory and fault-tolerant hardware.
