Andrew Cleland is a John MacLean Sr. Professor in the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago and the Director of the Pritzker Nanofabrication Facility. He specializes in quantum information, focusing his research efforts on quantum computing, quantum communication, and hybrid quantum systems. His work exploits the unique properties of quantum mechanical systems, which cannot be replicated by classical systems. Cleland is currently developing quantum information processors based on superconducting quantum circuits with the ultimate goal of creating quantum computers that vastly outperform the most advanced classical computers. Additionally, he is exploring secure communication systems that utilize the principles of quantum mechanics for unbreakable security. Over his career, he has received numerous accolades, including being named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Physical Society, and has been awarded the Olli V. Lounasmaa Memorial Prize. Cleland obtained his bachelor’s degree in engineering physics in 1983 and a PhD in physics in 1991, both from the University of California, Berkeley.
