Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNader Khammassi is a research scientist with a decade of experience at the intersection of high-performance computing and quantum computer engineering, currently at Intel Labs in Portland, Oregon. He pioneered the QX quantum simulator and co-designed the OpenQL compiler, enabling cross-platform quantum programs that have been demonstrated on both superconducting and single-electron spin qubit technologies. His work spans the full stack—from multicore HPC during his PhD to translating quantum instructions into pulses via a scalable microarchitecture that replaces conventional test instruments. Nader combines rigorous academic training and hands-on system building with a practical focus on deployable control electronics, and his tools are used for teaching and online platforms worldwide. He is motivated by a curiosity-driven, systems-level approach to making quantum hardware controllable and programmable at scale.
