Pedram Roshan

Pedram Roushan received his PhD in 2011 from Princeton University, performing the first scanning tunneling microscopy on the surface of topological insulators in the lab of A. Yazdani. After three years of post-doctoral studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, in 2014 he joined the Google quantum hardware lab aiming to make a quantum computer. With the Google team in 2019, they performed the first computation on a quantum processor beyond the capability of a supercomputer. The current focus of his research is on simulating novel condensed matter and non-equilibrium physics with quantum processors.
