“What if you were able to program a quantum computer in exactly the same way you program a traditional computer?”
Joe Fitzsimons is the founder and CEO of Horizon Quantum Computing, a company advancing the adoption of quantum computing by building software tools that enable all programmers to write for quantum technology.
In 2018, Joe held a tenured position as an associate professor at the Singapore University of Technology and Design, where he led the Quantum Information and Theory group. He was also a principal investigator at the Centre for Quantum Technologies.
Joe was a fellow of Merton College, Oxford, and a senior research fellow in the Materials Department at the University of Oxford. He co-invented the universal blind quantum computing which has since become recognised as an important enabling technology for securing cloud-based quantum computing.
Joe holds a doctorate from the University of Oxford, where his research focused on quantum computing architectures, and a bachelor of science degree in theoretical physics from University College Dublin.
