CEOQuantum MachinesMar 2018 - Current (8 years 4 months)Quantum Machines is on a mission to revolutionize computing. We develop the most advanced control and operation systems for quantum computers and aim to fulfill the potential in quantum computing. We develop innovative software, hardware & electronics, combining a wide range of engineering, including electrical engineering, software engineering & hardware engineering, with the science and technology of quantum computing.- Co-founder & Managing DirectorWISe Weizmann Institute Entrepreneurship ProgramNov 2015 - Mar 2018 (2 years 5 months)The goal of the Weizmann Institute of Science Entrepreneurship Club (WISe Club) is to expose Weizmann's students to the world of technology entrepreneurship and be their doorway into it. The WISe Club offers Weizmann's students an exclusive program consisting of lectures and seminars that were tailor maid to provide them the basic knowledge and skills necessary in order to launch and grow a startup venture. In addition, the participants lay the foundations for their own ventures during the program, accompanied by mentorship and support from experienced Weizmann alumni and other key players in the startup ecosystem.
- Doctoral researcherWeizmann Institute of ScienceDec 2011 - Jan 2017 (5 years 2 months)Experimental studies of transport, quantum shot noise and quantum properties of electronic interferometers operating at low temperatures and high magnetic fields. Design and fabrication of nano-scale devices on semiconductor materials (GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures) employing in-house processing facilities including E-beam & optical lithography. Received the John F. Kennedy Prize for academic excellence (2015) awarded yearly to students from the Weizmann Institute of Science.
- Co-founder & CEONoah InitiativeJul 2011 - Jul 2014 (3 years 1 month)Founding and managing the 'Noah Initiative' - a non-profit organization aimed at founding a new affordable quarter in the south of Israel for young couples in order to ease their economic struggle in view of Israel's outrages real-estate prices. The Initiative jointly builds a new urban quarter in the outskirts of the city Ofakim. The project consists of more than 1000 residential units offered at a substantially lower price in a place built by young adults for young adults, for the first time in Israel.

- NObservation of interaction-induced modulations of a quantum Hall liquid’s areaNature CommunicationsJul 2016Studies of electronic interferometers, based on edge-channel transport in the quantum Hall effect regime, have been stimulated by the search for evidence of abelian and non-abelian anyonic statistics of fractional charges. In particular, the electronic Fabry–Pérot interferometer has been found to be Coulomb dominated, thus masking coherent Aharonov–Bohm interference patterns: the flux trapped within the interferometer remains unchanged as the applied magnetic field is varied, barring unobservable modulations of the interference area. Here we report on conductance measurements indicative of the interferometer’s area ‘breathing’ with the variation of the magnetic field, associated with observable (a fraction of a flux quantum) variations of t
- NRobust electron pairing in the integer quantum hall effect regimeNature CommunicationsJun 2015Electron pairing is a rare phenomenon appearing only in a few unique physical systems; for example, superconductors and Kondo-correlated quantum dots. Here, we report on an unexpected electron pairing in the integer quantum Hall effect regime. The pairing takes place within an interfering edge channel in an electronic Fabry–Perot interferometer at a wide range of bulk filling factors, between 2 and 5. We report on three main observations: high-visibility Aharonov–Bohm conductance oscillations with magnetic flux periodicity equal to half the magnetic flux quantum; an interfering quasiparticle charge equal to twice the elementary electron charge as revealed by quantum shot noise measurements, and full dephasing of the pairs' interference by i
