Naomi Nickerson is VP of Quantum Architecture at PsiQuantum, a Palo Alto-based startup building a fault-tolerant, silicon-photonic quantum computer. After earning her PhD in the theory of quantum error correction between Imperial College London and Oxford University, she worked as a software engineer in San Francisco before joining PsiQuantum to lead the development of quantum error correction for photonic quantum computing. Naomi's research has covered quantum error correction, ultra-fast decoding algorithms, quantum architecture, and networked photonic technologies as well as PsiQuantum’s architecture approach of fusion based quantum computing.
