Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Gustavsson is a Staff Research Scientist and entrepreneur with over a decade of experience building and automating quantum information systems, spanning experimental physics, superconducting circuits, and quantum control. He founded Labber, a lab automation platform acquired by Keysight, then led quantum R&D before founding Atlantic Quantum—acquired by Google—bringing rare end-to-end experience from instrument control software to commercial quantum engineering. Based in Greater Boston, he combines hands-on experimental expertise from MIT and ETH Zürich with product and company-building instincts that bridge academia and industry. His work emphasizes practical software-first solutions for complex mesoscopic experiments, enabling reproducible, automated quantum workflows at scale. Colleagues value his ability to translate low-level instrument constraints into scalable control architectures and to shepherd technologies from lab prototypes to acquired products.
