Yuri Alexeev is a senior quantum algorithm engineer at NVIDIA Corporation and a senior member of the IEEE Society. He works on the development of quantum computing algorithms, error correction/mitigation techniques, and numerical simulations of quantum systems using CUDA-Q, AI techniques, and accelerated quantum supercomputing. Dr. Alexeev received his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Iowa State University while a graduate student in Mark Gordon’s quantum chemistry group.
After graduation, Dr. Alexeev became a postdoctoral fellow at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and worked in the NWChem group led by Dr. Theresa Windus; later, he joined the Nobel Prize winner Dr. Martin Karplus’ group at Harvard University and Université de Strasbourg. Later, he joined Argonne National Laboratory and worked as a computational scientist at Argonne Leadership Computing Facility to support research projects in the Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) program and in the area of quantum and HPC integration. In 2024, Dr. Alexeev joined NVIDIA’s Quantum Algorithm Engineering group to work on CUDA-Q adaptation through hands-on technical development work with strategic partners and customers using CUDA-Q and AI techniques.
