Vincenzo Lordi

Vincenzo Lordi is Group Leader for Quantum Simulations at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where he leads computational materials science research in support of quantum computing and sensing technologies. Lordi earned both his undergraduate and doctoral degrees from Stanford University, completing his Ph.D. in materials science there, with his fellowship beginning in 1999. His research uses quantum mechanical calculations to understand and predict the properties of materials relevant to quantum devices, including the behavior of defects and impurities in superconductors and semiconductors that limit the coherence of qubits.
