Quantum Applications Software Developer
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTrevor Vincent is a Quantum Applications Software Developer and physicist with 11 years of experience building high-performance computing solutions for quantum and scientific applications. He has driven production-grade simulators and libraries—authoring the task-based tensor network simulator Jet and leading AMD-GPU quantum circuit work such as Pennylane-LightningKokkos—contributing to high-profile results like Xanadu’s Borealis quantum advantage. Trevor combines deep numerical methods expertise from a PhD in physics and numerical relativity with hands-on C++, C, Python, Kokkos, and CUDA performance engineering, routinely delivering multi-hundred-fold speedups for core libraries. Now at PsiQuantum, he focuses on scaling quantum application software for practical use, and his background uniquely blends academic rigor (LIGO and SpECTRE) with startup-grade engineering. A detail not obvious from titles: he has repeatedly transformed research code into production-grade, GPU-accelerated systems and built performance regression tooling that underpins reproducible benchmarking.
