Biography
Dr Zakaria Dahbi is a MSCA Research Fellow in Photonics & Nanotechnology in the Department of Physics at King's College London.
Dr Dahbi is an MSCA Research Fellow funded by the UKRI Horizon Europe guarantee in the Department of Physics at King’s College London (KCL). He has a strong background in theoretical and computational physics, specializing in quantum information, quantum computing, and high-performance computing (HPC). His work bridges advanced numerical methods, parallel computing, and quantum dynamics, exploring phenomena at the intersection of intense laser fields and atomic or molecular systems (quantum dots). Additionally, his research encompasses quantum dot systems and quantum information processed at attosecond timescales.
Dr Dahbi started working for KCL in 2025. He completed his PhD in Quantum Information and Mathematical Physics at Mohammed V University in Rabat and a Master in High Performance Computing at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) and SISSA. Prior to his current fellowship, he worked as a Software Development Intern at the CINECA Supercomputing Facility, developing high-performance computing libraries for solving QUBO problems. He is currently involved in cutting-edge research exploring quantum information processed at attosecond timescales, contributing theoretical and computational expertise to investigate ultrafast coherent control, quantum state manipulation, and novel qubit platforms. He is actively engaged in the scientific community as a co-founder of QMorocco, a technical administrator for the Moroccan Network of Quantum Information, and a member of African Young Physicists Forum.
Research
- Quantum information processing and coherent control in quantum systems
