Following her Master's degree in Physics at ETH Zurich in 2008, Tina Müller completed her Ph.D. in 2013 at the University of Cambridge studying novel defect centres in diamond under the guidance of Mete Atature. From 2013 to 2015, she joined the McGill Optomechanics Lab to work with Jack Sankey on the development of ultra-sensitive optomechanical force sensors. In 2015, Tina moved to Toshiba Europe's Cambridge Research Laboratory, where she has since been since to develop semiconductor sources of single and entangled photons for optical quantum network applications.

Félix Beaudoin completed a Master’s degree on superconducting qubits at the Université de Sherbrooke with Prof. Alexandre Blais (2011), followed by a Ph.D. on spin qubits at McGill University with Prof. William A. Coish (2016). Until 2019, Dr. Beaudoin worked as a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer at Dartmouth College, where he did research on quantum control, quantum metrology, and quantum noise spectroscopy in the group of Prof. Lorenza Viola, in collaboration with the group of Prof. Will Oliver (MIT). Dr. Beaudoin joined NanoAcademic in January 2019 as a Research Scientist and Software Developer, where he leads the development of computer-aided design tools for quantum technology.

Vlad Gheorghiu is the CEO, President and co-founder of softwareQ Inc., a quantum software and quantum information processing company in Waterloo, ON, Canada.  Vlad is also a senior researcher at the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo, ON Canada, working on quantum information and computation. He collaborates as well on quantum risk assessment with evolutionQ Inc., ON, Canada. Vlad is a member of CryptoWorks21 Quantum-Safe Cryptographic Infrastructure Program and a member of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) Quantum-Safe Cryptography Standardization Group. Vlad holds a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from Carnegie Mellon University, USA. His current research interests lie in quantum software and quantum architectures, quantum-resistant cryptography, quantum error correction, quantum cryptanalysis and resource estimation for realistic implementations of quantum algorithms, entanglement theory, as well as applications of machine learning techniques to the quantum domain.

Jérôme recently founded Qubic Inc., a startup company that provides quantum enhancements for microwave remote sensing applications. After years of research in microwave quantum optics and circuit QED, Jérôme found interest in using quantum microwaves signals in a place they should not be: outside of the cryostat and out in the hot and open environment. After a fruitful collaboration with his colleague Christopher Wilson at the Institute for Quantum Computing, University of Waterloo, followed by a successful proof-of-concept experiment, Jérôme decided to take the plunge and create something novel. Motivated by his conviction that there is more space for quantum microwaves outside of the fridge, he is now tackling his most ambitious project that he never would have imagined doing.
