ID Quantique

Félix Bussières, Ph.D., is vice president of research and technology at ID Quantique. He and his team are responsible for the development of ID Quantique’s core technologies and key innovative projects. Bussières obtained his doctorate in physics from the Université de Montréal. He then worked as a senior researcher at the University of Geneva, where he conducted research in quantum technologies. In particular, he played a key role in developing high-performance superconducting detectors. After joining ID Quantique in 2016, he took the superconducting detector technology from a prototype to a successful product line for research laboratories and created a partnership with ArianeGroup to develop cutting-edge equipment dedicated to the upcoming Ariane 6 commercial space launcher. He now leads several innovation activities related to the development of single-photon detectors, quantum random number generators, and quantum key distribution.
