Benjamin MacLellan
Ph.D. Researcher, Perimeter Institute Quantum Intelligence Lab.
Technical Lead, Ki3 Photonics Technologies.
I am a scientist working at the intersections of quantum information science, photonics, and machine learning. My goal is to develop light-based quantum technologies that have an impact and to communicate science in clear and engaging ways.
My research interests revolve around numerical methods for designing and scaling quantum technologies, including computers, networks, and sensors; as well as how machine learning can be used for scientific discovery in physics.
I am a Technical Lead at Ki3 Photonics Technologies, where I integrate quantum networking capabilities on top of classical telecommunications infrastructure. I am also a founding contributor to Open Quantum Design, a non-profit organization aimed towards developing the world’s first full-stack, open-source quantum computer.

| Jun 27, 2024 | RydbergGPT, generative pretained transformer designed to learn the measurement outcomes of a neutral atom array quantum computer, is out now. Check out the paper arXiv:2405.21052, the code, and the dataset! |
| Jun 03, 2024 | I’ll be joining the Artificial Scientist Lab at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light for a research visit during Summer 2024. |
| Mar 08, 2024 | I’m excited to announce the publication of recent work on an end-to-end design framework for variational quantum sensing. Check out the paper on the arXiv:2403.02394! I presented the work at APS March Meeting 2024 in Minneapolis. |
| Feb 04, 2024 | Check out our recent work in collaboration between Ki3 Photonics, Quantum Bridge, PIQuIl, and Prof. Hoi Kwon Lo’s group at the University of Toronto. We improve on the resources required to generate photonic graph states and provide a new design framework (arXiv:2401.00635), and release an accompanying open-source package GraphiQ! |
