Antonio Córcoles earned his PhD in physics at Royal Holloway, University of London. During his doctoral studies, he worked under the guidance of Professor John Saunders, focusing on superfluid 3He in restricted geometries. After completing his PhD, Antonio moved on to a postdoctoral position at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, where he worked with Professor Sir Michael Pepper on hyperfine interactions in quantum wires. In 2010, he joined IBM as a postdoc, becoming a research staff member in 2014 and a principal research scientist in 2023. At IBM, he has worked on various aspects of quantum information processing with superconducting qubits, including materials, gates and measurements, validation, verification and benchmarks, quantum error correction, and quantum machine learning.

Antonio is currently leading the integration of HPC and quantum computing at IBM Quantum.
