Oliver Dial is IBM Quantum’s Chief Technology Officer and was named an IBM Fellow for his contributions to quantum computing hardware. Dial earned his doctorate from MIT for research in two-dimensional electron and hole systems. He then entered the field of quantum computing as a postdoc at Harvard, demonstrating the first two-qubit gate between semiconductor singlet-triplet qubits and performing pioneering charge noise spectroscopy in these systems. He later joined IBM as a research scientist.
