Alexander Schuckert

Alex was a Theoretical Quantum Optics Postdoctoral Fellow working closely with Zohreh Davoudi, Mohammad Hafezi, Alexey Gorshkov and Michael Gullans.  He was a QuICS Postdoctoral Scholar from 2022 to 2025. He is interested in finding algorithms and protocols for current analogue and digital quantum simulators, in particular those probing questions around quantum many-body physics and non-equilibrium dynamics.  He mainly has experience working with silicon donor, ion trap and cold atom platforms, however he maintains a deep experimental curiosity about all platforms. He considers the possibility of implementing his proposals in current devices a priority, which he pushes in particular in his part-time employment at Quantinuum. Alex obtained his PhD from the Technical University of Munich under the supervision of Michael Knap with a fellowship from the Max Planck Institute for quantum optics.  After QuICS, Alex moved on to QuEra as a Senior Quantum Scientist.
