AJ Rasmusson (Fed)
NRC Postdoctoral Fellow
AJ Rasmusson is an NRC postdoctoral researcher working on the next generation of trapped-ion quantum hardware systems. In 2024, he received his Ph.D. in Physics from Indiana University where, under the supervision of Phil Richerme, he studied 2D trapped-ion crystals, trapped-ion thermometry and heating, and simulation of quantum chemical effects using trapped ions. AJ was the principal lead for IBM's Open Science challenge from 2021 - 2023, and he currently serves on the Unitary Fund's Open Quantum Benchmark Committee. Outside of the lab, he enjoys playing outside with his family, reading, and 3D printing.
