Sofie Lindskov Hansen is a Danish quantum physicist who is the Chief Quantum Expert for the Danish Tech Ambassador in the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Her research considered photonic integrated circuits and quantum computing for molecular simulation. She has worked between academia, industry and policymaking.
Early life and education
Hansen was an undergraduate student at Rigshospitalet as a medical student. She completed her doctoral research on photonic integrated circuits at the Niels Bohr Institute.[1] She was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen, where she was awarded funding from the Lundbeck Foundation to develop a quantum chip to simulate molecular dynamics at a quantum level.[2] She proposed to start with water molecules, and scale up to more complex systems that could one day impact drug design.[2] In 2022, Hansen left academia to work in a quantum company.[3]
Career
Hansen worked at Kvantify, a Danish quantum computing company, and Sparrow Quantum, a photonic quantum chip company.[4] At Sparrow, Hansen worked on business development, where she explored use cases of quantum computing.[5][6]
Hansen is the Chief Quantum Expert for the Danish Tech Ambassador in the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.[7][8]
