Jay M. Gambetta is a scientist and executive, leading the team at IBM Thomas J Watson Research Center working to build a quantum computer.

[1][2] Following his Bachelor of Science and Honours degree at Griffith University in 1999 (gaining four awards, including a University medal), Gambetta began a PhD under the supervision of Howard Wiseman in quantum foundations and non-Markovian open quantum systems.

[3] After graduating in 2004, Gambetta turned his research to the then-nascent field of superconducting quantum computing.

In 2011 he moved to private industry, joining the IBM effort to build a quantum computer based on superconducting qubits.

[5][6] The observation that Quantum Volume is doubling every year is called "Gambetta's law.
