Summary
Félix Beaudoin is a CEO and former Director of Quantum Technology who blends nine years of deep academic research in theoretical quantum physics with hands-on scientific software development and product leadership in atomistic simulation and CAD for quantum hardware. He led development and commercialization of QTCAD, a finite-element qubit simulation tool, and drives Nanoacademic’s strategic expansion into quantum sensors, memories, and fault-tolerant hardware design. His PhD (McGill), MSc (Sherbrooke) and postdoctoral work at Dartmouth produced theoretical models and noise-characterization protocols that directly informed experimental advances at MIT and other labs. Comfortable switching between analytical theory, numerical modeling, and product strategy, he also has a track record of teaching and cultivating collaborations across the Québec and international quantum ecosystems. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex quantum physics into usable engineering tools and compelling commercial offerings. Based in Montréal, he combines scientific rigor with entrepreneurial execution to accelerate practical quantum technology adoption.
