Samuel Lellouch

Samuel Lellouch is an assistant professor in digital twinning at the University of Birmingham, where he is leading a research and innovation activity in the field of theory, modeling, and simulation for quantum systems and quantum technologies. He is co-investigator at the UK Quantum Hub for Sensing and Timing. Samuel is developing fundamental research on quantum systems with the aim of unveiling new techniques that would enable the practical deployment of quantum technologies in real-life practical applications. He is especially interested in atom-interferometry-based quantum sensors and seeks to address challenges such as field resilience, sensitivity improvements, and reduced system complexity via the development of new operation schemes, innovative atom-optics, and post-processing techniques. Samuel is building full digital twins of quantum sensors and is collaborating with experimental physicists, engineers, and key industrial partners to accelerate, via digital simulation, the manufacturing and industrial uptake of quantum sensors in applications relevant to positioning and navigation systems, space, civil engineering, and fundamental physics. Samuel holds the Young Researcher Prize 2015 from the IFRAF/GdR Atomes Froids (France’s cold atom network).
