Julian Léonard is an experimental physicist working on quantum information and quantum optics. After undergraduate studies at TU Munich and Sorbonne Université Paris, he moved to ETH Zurich for his doctoral research on atom-light interactions. For the past years, he did postdoctoral research at Harvard University on quantum simulations with optical lattices. Awarded the Austrian START prize 2021, he started his own research group at TU Wien in November 2021, where he is building a next-generation quantum processor for applications in quantum computing and quantum materials based on ultracold atoms and optical cavities.
