Graeme Smith is a prominent figure in the field of quantum research, known for his significant contributions to quantum information theory. He earned his Ph.D. in physics from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in 2006, focusing on the theory of quantum information and computing. His research aims to understand the limits that physics places on communication, information processing, and sensing, and the implications of these limits in both practical technologies and fundamental physics..[1][2].
Career
IBM TJ Watson Research Center
Smith was a Research Staff Member in the Physics of Information group at IBM's TJ Watson Research Center. His work there included tackling problems in noisy communication and computation. He conducted notable research on superactivation in the context of gaussian bosonic channels, demonstrating how pairs of channels can enable reliable quantum communication even when individually they cannot transmit quantum information[3].
JILA and University of Colorado Boulder
He also served as an assistant professor of Physics and an Associate Fellow at JILA, a joint institute of the University of Colorado Boulder and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. His role at JILA included contributions to the Atomic and Molecular Optical Theory group and winning the 2021 Outstanding Postdoc Mentor Award[4][5].
Institute for Quantum Computing and University of Waterloo
In 2023, Smith joined the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo as a faculty member in the department of Applied Mathematics. His research at IQC continues to focus on the 'information' aspect of quantum information theory, including the fundamental limits of information storage, transmission, and processing[6]
Honors and Awards
Smith was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 2023, an honor given to physicists who have made exceptional contributions to the field. The APS works to advance and diffuse the knowledge of physics globally[7]
