Matthew Coudron

Senior Quantum Algorithm Researcher, NVIDIA

Before moving to NVIDIA, I spent 6 years as a Research Scientist in the Applied and Computational Mathematics Division at NIST, an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the University of Maryland Department of Computer Science, and a Fellow in the Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science (QuICS). Before working at NIST/UMD I was a postdoc in the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo. Before that, I completed my PhD in the Theory of Computation group at MIT, where I was advised by Peter Shor.

Along the way I also worked for brief stints in industry, interning in the Google Quantum AI group, and later working as a Quantum Algorithms Researcher at QCWare.

Research Interests

I am broadly interested in Theoretical Computer Science. I explore Quantum Algorithms and Complexity, including topics of relevance to near-term quantum computing, and to verifying the behavior of quantum devices. I have additional interests in AI and computational biology. You can find out more about my interests by looking at my publications.
