Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Keaveney is a senior technical lead and atomic physicist with 11 years of experience delivering hardware-software systems for quantum technologies, currently leading Quantum RF portfolio work at Infleqtion UK. He combines deep experimental expertise—PhD-level atomic and molecular physics and patents for imaging and laser reference systems—with hands-on engineering across optics, electronics, FPGA/embedded firmware, and high-level software. James has bridged lab and product teams to deploy the first room-temperature NV-centre quantum computer in an HPC centre and restructured control stacks from scripts into robust, deployable packages. He mentors cross-disciplinary teams, specifies and prototypes motherboard and FPGA solutions, and maintains widely used community software such as ElecSus. Known for pragmatic creativity, he translates complex physics into reliable, automated instruments and deployable control systems that accelerate commercialization of quantum devices.
