Matthew Ebert is an experimental atomic physicist and engineering leader with 11 years of experience translating precision lab science into robust control systems for neutral-atom quantum computers. Currently Senior Manager of Automation Calibration & Decomposition at IonQ, he progressed from hands-on systems development to managing automation and calibration pipelines that enable scalable quantum hardware. His background includes leading autonomous control system design at ColdQuanta and a PhD-driven track record of shrinking and stabilizing complex experimental apparatus, including high-fidelity atom loading and multi-atom readout techniques. Based in Madison, WI, he combines deep optics and laser expertise with practical software-driven automation, uniquely bridging quantum research and production engineering. An understated strength is his history of designing low-noise instrumentation and bespoke mechanical solutions, reflecting a comfort with both delicate experiments and real-world hardware constraints.
