Waël A.
Quantum Physicist | Experimental Researcher
/ˈwɑː.ɛl/ – person
Waël (وائل) is an Arabic name meaning “the one who returns” or “the one who seeks refuge.”
For me, it describes someone who steps back from noise, focuses on what matters, and looks for solid ground rather than distractions.
It fits how I work:
quiet, precise, and intentional.
Current Position
Ph.D.
Institut Néel – SQC Team, Grenoble, France
I’m a quantum physicist and experimentalist, currently working on superconducting circuits—mainly fluxonium qubits. My work spans device design, circuit modeling, fabrication, and low-temperature measurements. I enjoy building complete experimental setup, combining theory with hands-on work in the lab.
What I Do
Design and simulate circuits (ABCD matrices, S-parameters, Sonnet, etc.)
Fabricate superconducting devices (cleanroom & nanofabrication)
Perform cryogenic measurements (dilution fridge, spectroscopy, time-domain)
Analyze complex quantum data with Python and numerical tools
Develop hardware/software for experimental automation
Hobbies
Outside of work, I enjoy fitness training, drawing, and reading. These activities help me stay focused, disciplined, and creatively engaged.
