Jonathan Habif

Senior Scientist

Jonathan L. Habif received the B.A. degree in physics in 1998 from Colgate University and a PhD in applied physics from the University of Rochester in 2003. In 2000 he was awarded a NASA GSRP fellowship for his graduate work investigating quantum coherence in superconducting circuits. He was a research member of the MIT physics department from 2003 – 2005, focusing on the development of the integration of classical control circuitry with superconducting quantum coherent devices. Dr. Habif is currently a senior scientist at BBN Technologies in Cambridge, MA and his work is focused on the applications and development of quantum information system sciences. He has participated as a technical lead for the DARPA Quantum Network program, and is currently a principal investigator on the DARPA Information in a Photon (InPho) program investigation technologies for quantum imaging systems.
