Dr Claire Le Gall joined Nu Quantum in April 2023 to lead our technical teams and bring together our technology blocks towards creating ‘the entanglement fabric’ that will allow to scale quantum computing. Claire is an accomplished experimental Physicist with a strong background in quantum optics, spin-photon interfaces and quantum networks, having previously led her own research group as a Dorothy Hodgkin Royal Society Fellow at The Cavendish Laboratory - Department of Physics at the University of Cambridge. Notably, Claire demonstrated the fastest two-node quantum network  (2017) and a world-first collective quantum memory (2019 & 2024), using optically active semiconductor quantum dots. Before joining Nu Quantum, Claire gained industry experience at Microsoft Research Cambridge, in their hardware group ‘Optics for the Cloud’. Claire has a track-record of solving cutting-edge scientific challenges, and managing the trade-offs and complex system-engineering requirements of quantum hardware.
