Quantum information theory is the most general framework to understand man made processes, such as quantum algorithms and cryptographic protocols, but also natural ones such as noise and emergence an objective classical world out of the quantum realm. That's why it's so appealing to me: a tunable mix of foundations and applications with beautiful mathematics.

Developer Advocate @ AWS Center for Quantum Networking. All things quantum. Opinions are my own.

Making the invisible visible with quantum sensing! 💎 I am in charge of the business side of QuantumDiamonds, a spin-off from TU Munich. We have developed atom-sized quantum sensors in diamonds with unprecedented sensitivities for magnetic fields, temperature and pressure, functioning under the hardest conditions. Industrial applications range from semiconductor manufacturing quality control, bio-imaging and spectroscopy to quantum computing.

Dr. Kevin Füchsel is the CEO of Quantum Optics Jena GmbH, a company focused on pioneering high-security quantum communication. The firm, a spin-off from the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF, is developing quantum-based solutions for modern communication systems. Dr. Füchsel, together with Dr. Oliver de Vries, has played a key role in the company's formation and its initial project to develop an entangled photon source for quantum key distribution. Prior to his current role, Dr. Füchsel worked at the Fraunhofer IOF from September 2013 to March 2021, where he was the Head of Department for Strategy, Marketing, and Coordination. Dr. Füchsel's academic background includes a Dipl.-Phys. in Physics and a Dr. rer. nat. in Physics, both from Friedrich Schiller University Jena. His education has been integral to his success in the field of quantum optics and technology.

Chief Technology Officer of Unitary Fund, a non-profit organization that performs in-house research in quantum tech and supports the open-source software ecosystem.

Quantum information expert and the founder and CEO of Icarus Quantum, a startup that develops and commercializes chip-scale integrated quantum photonic technologies. With over 10 years of experience in quantum networking, I have contributed to multiple publications and patents in the field, and worked at leading research institutions such as NIST and Purdue University. My core competencies include designing, modeling, fabricating, and testing quantum photonic devices and systems, as well as leading and managing interdisciplinary teams and projects. My mission is to leverage the power of quantum information to create innovative solutions for communication, computation, and sensing. I am passionate about advancing the frontiers of quantum science and engineering, and fostering a thriving culture in the quantum community.

Co-Founder and CTO. Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow (Delft University of Technology, 2019 – 2021) PhD & PostDoc in Physics (University of Cambridge, 2012 – 2018) Master's Degree in Physics (University of Oxford, 2008 – 2012) My work is centered around trying to understand how we can construct large scale quantum states, both by understanding in detail the dynamics of optically-active quantum systems, and by demonstrating the fundamental protocols for networked quantum information.
