Max Radin received a Ph.D. in Physics from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and a B.S. in Physics from the University of California, Irvine. His research has focused on using first-principles simulations to advance our understanding of materials for electrochemical energy storage. As a Quantum Application Scientist at Zapata Computing, he is developing software and algorithms for quantum computers.
Quantum computing represents a paradigm for information processing that is fundamentally unlike any other and has the potential to solve some of the most challenging problems in science and industry.
