Steven J. Weber

Dr. Steven Weber is an assistant leader of the Quantum-Enabled Computation Group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. In this role, Weber helps guide research and strategy in superconducting quantum technology, with a focus on multi-qubit systems. Active areas of interest include 3D integration, noise characterization, modular systems, and quantum error correction, with an emphasis on advancing the performance of quantum processors. 

Since joining the Laboratory in 2015, Weber has contributed to the design and measurement of superconducting circuits for applications in quantum computing and neutrino detection. He has led several efforts including the operation of an advanced quantum annealing test bed and the development of a high-density cryogenic wiring platform. He is particularly interested in collaborative efforts that support the national quantum ecosystem. He enjoys mentoring early-career researchers and building teams working at the frontiers of quantum hardware.

Prior to joining Lincoln Laboratory, Weber focused his graduate work on using superconducting qubits with high-fidelity readout capabilities to investigate the fundamental physics of quantum measurement.  He holds a PhD degree in physics from University of California, Berkeley and a BS degree in physics from Dartmouth College.
