Quantum Interconnects and Modularity via Waveguide QED

Biography:

William D. Oliver is jointly appointed the Henry Ellis Warren (1894) Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he leads the Engineering Quantum Systems Group. He is presently on partial leave as Chief Engineer withGoogle Quantum AI.

Will’s research interests include the materials growth, fabrication, design, control, and measurement of superconducting qubit processors. From 2003-2023, Will also worked at MIT Lincoln Laboratory – most recently as Laboratory Fellow (2017-2023) – where he was instrumental in growing the quantum computing group to its present levels. Will stepped down from this position to co-found Atlantic Quantum, a quantum computing start-up. Atlantic Quantum was acquired by Google in October 2025.
