Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Hopf is a research-focused quantum compiler engineer with 5 years of hands-on experience bridging physics and computer science in both academic and industry settings. Currently a doctoral candidate and quantum software engineer in the Greater Munich area, he develops compiler tooling and integration for quantum platforms after roles at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre and an internship at RIKEN on quantum optimal control. His background pairs an M.Sc. in Quantum Science & Technology with a B.Sc. in Computer Science, enabling him to translate low-level quantum control insights into practical compiler optimizations. Comfortable in high-performance and cloud environments, he has a track record of building production-oriented quantum software and contributing to research-driven toolchains. Notably, his career path combines traditional turbocharger thermodynamics and front-end cloud work with cutting-edge quantum compiler development, giving him a rare mix of systems intuition and experimental physics savvy.
