I teach PsiQuantum's users how to use fault-tolerant quantum computers.
My organisation
PsiQuantum has one mission: To build and deploy the first useful quantum computers. In 2016, PsiQuantum founders uncovered a viable path to build large-scale, fault-tolerant systems by taking a photonics approach and leveraging the advanced semiconductor manufacturing industry and other existing infrastructure.
About me
Matija completed his PhD in neutral-atom physics at ETH Zurich, after which he spent 3.5 years at McKinsey & Company, primarily working in the intersection of quantum technologies and real-world business strategy. Since October 2023, he has been in the quantum computing industry: first at Alice & Bob in France, and currently at PsiQuantum. At PsiQuantum, he is responsible for educating the future users of PsiQuantum's computer on how to use the device most efficiently.
