About

Edgar Perez was a graduate student working on different aspects of quantum photonic integrated circuits, including single-photon sources, nonlinear nanophotonics, and direct laser writing for interconnects. He received his PhD in Physics in May 2024 and is now working at IonQ. He Received his B.A. in physics from Reed College in Portland, Oregon. His undergraduate thesis studied chaos and bifurcations in the monopole ion trap.
