Manager, Quantum System Deployment, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center

As a Research Staff Member and Manager at IBM Research in Yorktown Heights, NY, Doug McClure’s current research focus is on the calibration and performance monitoring of superconducting quantum processors. Previously at IBM, he studied methods of improving coherence and measurement of individual superconducting qubits. He received his PhD in experimental physics in 2012 from Harvard University, where under the guidance of Professor Charlie Marcus he studied the physics of fractional quantum Hall states with potential applications in topological quantum computing. He earned his A.B. and A.M. in physics from Harvard in 2006 and 2008 respectively.
