Qedma Appoints Scott Aaronson to Its Scientific Advisory Board

Insider Brief

• Qedma has appointed Professor Scott Aaronson, a leading quantum computing and computational complexity researcher, to its Scientific Advisory Board.
• Aaronson will advise the company as it develops quantum error suppression and mitigation software aimed at improving the accuracy of quantum computations.
• His research on quantum computational complexity and the evaluation of quantum advantage aligns with Qedma‘s work on assessing the capabilities of quantum hardware.

PRESS RELEASE — Qedma, a quantum computing software company specializing in quantum error suppression and mitigation, today announced that Professor Scott Aaronson, one of the world’s leading researchers in quantum computing and computational complexity theory, has joined its Scientific Advisory Board.

Aaronson is the Schlumberger Centennial Chair of Computer Science at The University of Texas at Austin and Director of its Quantum Information Center. Internationally recognized for his pioneering contributions to quantum computing theory, his research has helped establish the theoretical foundations for understanding the capabilities and limitations of quantum computers, including what it takes to demonstrate quantum advantage over classical computing. In 2026, Aaronson was elected to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in recognition of his contributions to scientific research.

His appointment brings deep theoretical expertise to Qedma as the company works to overcome one of the most significant barriers to practical quantum computing: errors and noise that limit the accuracy and scale of quantum computations.

Qedma develops advanced error suppression and mitigation software designed to enable more accurate and complex computations on quantum hardware. By improving the reliability of quantum results, the company aims to help researchers and enterprises explore increasingly demanding computational problems and move closer to demonstrating commercial quantum advantage.

Aaronson’s expertise in quantum computational complexity and the rigorous evaluation of quantum advantage closely aligns with Qedma’s mission. As a member of the Scientific Advisory Board, he will provide insights and guidance as the company continues to advance its technology and explore new scientific and industrial applications.

“Scott Aaronson is one of the most influential thinkers in quantum computing. His work, vision, and leadership have profoundly shaped our understanding of the potential of quantum computers to achieve capabilities beyond those of classical computers,” said Dr. Asif Sinay, CEO and co-founder of Qedma.

“At Qedma, our mission is to translate that potential into reality by overcoming the errors that currently limit quantum hardware. Scott’s deep scientific insight, broad perspective on the field, and rigorous approach to understanding and demonstrating quantum advantage will be invaluable to Qedma as we continue to push the boundaries of quantum computation and open up new possibilities for scientific discovery.”
