Quantum Research Scientist at Google
Pasadena, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVinicius Ferreira is a Quantum Research Scientist with nine years of experimental physics experience focused on end-to-end quantum device realization, from theoretical design and finite-element simulation to nanofabrication and low-noise cryogenic microwave measurement. Currently at Google’s Gates and Noise Metrology team, he brings a track record of publications, a patent, and cross-institution collaborations bridging Caltech, Cambridge, and UPenn. His PhD from Caltech and strong background in applied physics and physical chemistry underpin work on superconducting metamaterials, microwave photonic cluster states, and measurement-based quantum computation architectures. He combines hands-on mentorship and lab leadership with software tooling skills (e.g., spectral analysis using MDS) developed during earlier research, enabling large-scale data interpretation alongside device engineering. Known for translating complex quantum concepts into practical, testable hardware, he is seeking industry R&D roles to move quantum computing technologies toward real-world applications. An often-overlooked strength is his experience founding science-driven products and communicating technical science to stakeholders and the public.
