Dr Jonathan Burnett has joined the NQCC as our Deputy Director for Research and a member of the NQCC Leadership Team!
Jonathan brings a wealth of experience, having led large-scale R&D activities in quantum computation, quantum hardware, and quantum control architectures in the UK and Sweden.
After completing his MSc in Physics at Royal Holloway, University of London, and his PhD on decoherence effects in superconducting circuits at RHUL and NPL, Jonathan’s career has spanned top-tier research institutions:
– London Centre for Nanotechnology, UCL
– Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology at Chalmers University, Sweden
– NPL, where he worked to improve coherence times in superconducting qubits.
Most recently, Jonathan played a pivotal role at Oxford Quantum Circuits, serving as Head of Quantum Hardware, Lead of Quantum Systems, and Director of Hardware Engineering.
Jonathan is deeply passionate about quantum technologies and is a strong advocate for getting quantum computing out of the lab and into real-world applications that drive value and societal benefit.
As we continue to build momentum at the NQCC, Jonathan’s leadership will be instrumental in steering our laboratory-based technical programme and advancing our roadmap delivery. With our facilities operational, the testbed programme deployment phase well underway, and numerous collaboration projects reaching key milestones, Jonathan’s expertise will be key in driving us forward in this exciting journey!
Please join us in welcoming Jonathan to the NQCC team!
