Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSarah Muschinske is a quantum research scientist with a decade of experience building and characterizing quantum hardware, currently focused at Amazon on fault-tolerant quantum computing. Her trajectory spans a PhD in EECS at MIT and hands-on work designing mid-scale superconducting qubit arrays and control infrastructure for analog quantum simulation, including leadership of a 21-qubit system effort. She brings deep device-level expertise from prior work in quantum photonics, NV-center sensing, and semiconductor epitaxy, paired with practical industry internships at Apple and Texas Instruments. Beyond research, she has taught courses on noise and generative models and helped broaden access to quantum computing through high-school outreach, signaling a commitment to both education and translational impact. Notably, she blends multi-level qudit exploration with near-term analog/digital-analog algorithms, a less common but promising path toward useful NISQ-era applications.
