Or Katz received his PhD from the Weizmann Institute of Science, where he developed novel quantum memories that operate at room temperature and maintain quantum states for hours. During his postdoctoral tenure at the Weizmann Institute, he pioneered studies of quantum chemistry with sub-nanoscale resolution, probing interactions between single ultracold neutral atoms and trapped ions. In addition to his academic pursuits, he worked in industry for a decade, closely collaborating with engineers to develop precision quantum sensors. As a postdoctoral researcher at the Duke Quantum Center, Katz discovered groundbreaking methods for entangling multiple trapped-ion qubits and exploring new phases of matter using large ion crystals. He joined the School of Applied and Engineering Physics at Cornell University as a visiting assistant professor and will assume the role of assistant professor in July 2024. Dr. Katz's research focuses on developing and harnessing the potential of quantum hardware based on ions, atoms, photons, and phonons to address complex problems across various scientific disciplines.
