Career

Maslov obtained Doctor of Philosophy degree in Computer Science from University of New Brunswick in 2003.[4] From 2008 to 2018, he was a Program Director with the Division of Computing and Communication Foundations, and the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering, National Science Foundation.[5] In 2015-2016 he was a visiting fellow at Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science.[6] Since 2019, he has been the Chief Software Architect at the IBM’s Quantum Computing Branch, IBM Quantum.[5]

Technical Contributions

Quantum computing

Maslov's contributions to quantum computing include

  • A simple and efficient algorithm for reversible logic synthesis, known as the MMD algorithm[7]
  • Depth optimal quantum circuit synthesis method for commonly used quantum logical operations[8]
  • Optimal synthesis of Z-angle rotations over Clifford+T gate library[9]
  • Optimization of multiple control Toffoli-gate implementation using relative-phase Toffoli gates[10]
