Summary
Juan Bohorquez is a Sr. Physicist in R&D at IonQ with nine years of experience building hybrid quantum experiments that bridge Rydberg-atom physics and superconducting quantum hardware. He earned a PhD in Atomic/Molecular Physics from UW–Madison, where he led the design, operation, and automation of a cryogenic, ultra-high-vacuum experiment to strongly couple single trapped Rydberg atoms to superconducting resonators. Skilled in experimental control systems, Python-driven data acquisition and analysis, and hands-on optics/electronics engineering, he also has a background training and managing undergraduate and junior researchers. His profile combines deep academic rigor with pragmatic lab engineering and a BS in Physics and Computer Science from the University of Miami, enabling him to translate complex quantum science into robust experimental platforms. Notably, he moved from academic fellowships to an industry R&D role at IonQ, reflecting both technical depth and a focus on near-term quantum integration.
