Benjamin Hall

Benjamin Hall is a senior quantum software engineer at Infleqtion where he specializes in quantum algorithms and compilation. He holds a dual Ph.D. in Physics and CMSE (Computational Math, Science, and Engineering) from Michigan State University His doctoral research was in the application and optimization of near-term quantum algorithms to many-body nuclear physics. His quantum background was further developed through research conducted at the NASA Ames research center, as well as Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, and Argonne National Lab. In his current role at Infleqtion, Ben has expanded the capabilities of Q-CHOP, a novel quantum annealing algorithm for constrained optimization problems, invented an efficient way to detect and map star-topologies to linear-topologies, and led a project to solve sphere packing on a quantum computer to model protein chromatography.
