PANELISTS

DR. GRETCHEN CAMPBELL
DIRECTOR, NATIONAL QUANTUM COORDINATION OFFICE; ASSISTANT DIRECTOR FOR QUANTUM INFORMATION SCIENCE, WHITE HOUSE OFFICE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY POLICY (OSTP)

Dr. Gretchen Campbell is the Assistant Director for Quantum Information Science (QIS) and the Director of the National Quantum Coordination Office (NQCO) within the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. The NQCO ensures coordination of the National Quantum Initiative (NQI) and QIS activities across the federal government, industry, and academia.
Dr. Campbell is on detail from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), where she is the co-director of the Joint Quantum Institute, a joint institute between the University of Maryland and NIST, and the Group Leader for the Laser Cooling and Trapping group in the Quantum Measurement Division at NIST. She is also an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Maryland. Dr. Campbell received a B.A. in Physics from Wellesley College in 2001 and received her Ph.D. from MIT in 2007. From 2007-2009, she was a NRC postdoctoral fellow at JILA and NIST in Boulder, Colorado. Dr. Campbell’s research has included a wide range of experimental work in the field of ultracold atomic gases. She is a fellow of the American Physical Society. Her awards include the Arthur Flemming Award (2012); the Presidential Early Career Award in Science and Engineering (2012); the Sigma Xi Katherine Blodgett Gebbie Young Scientist Award (2013); the APS Maria Goeppert Mayer Award (2015), and the IUPAP C15 Young Scientist Prize (2015). She was also a Finalist for the Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals, Call to Service category (2015).


DR. OLIVER DIAL
CHEIF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER, IBM QUANTUM

Dr. Oliver Dial was named an IBM Fellow in 2021 for his contributions to quantum computing hardware. He is IBM Quantum’s CTO, ensuring IBM’s quantum hardware and software together deliver an outstanding experience. Oliver received his PhD from MIT in 2007 for research in two-dimensional electron and hole systems. He then entered the field of quantum computing as a post-doc at Harvard, demonstrating the first two-qubit gate between semiconductor singlet-triplet qubits. He joined IBM as a research scientist in 2012, and has worked on multiqubit device architectures, qubit coherence, and quantum device control software.


DR. IORDANIS KERENIDIS
RESEARCH DIRECTOR, CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE (CNRS); SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, QUANTUM ALGORITHMS, QC WARE CORP; DIRECTOR, PARIS CENTRE FOR QUANTUM COMPUTING

Iordanis Kerenidis received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2004. After a two-year postdoctoral position at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he joined the Centre National de Recherche Scientifique CNRS in Paris as a research director. He has been the coordinator of a number of EU-funded projects including an ERC Grant, and he is the founder and director of the Paris Centre for Quantum Computing. His research is focused on quantum algorithms for machine learning and optimization, including one of the first end-to-end quantum machine learning application for recommendation systems, demonstration of quantum classification on trapped ion hardware and quantum Monte Carlo methods in Finance. He is currently the Head of Quantum Algorithms at QC Ware.
