Andrea Coladangelo graduated from Caltech in 2020, advised by Thomas Vidick. Andrea's thesis focused on the study of foundational properties of quantum correlations and entanglement, and their interplay with the certification of quantum devices. He was a postdoc at UC Berkeley and the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing until the end of 2022. He is currently an Assistant Professor in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington.

Alex Bredariol Grilo (he/him) graduated from Université Paris Diderot (currently Université de Paris) in 2018. During his Ph.D. studies, he was affiliated with IRIF and his advisor was Iordanis Kerenidis. After that, he was a postdoc at CWI and QuSoft under the supervision of Stacey Jeffery, Ronald de Wolf and Christian Schaffner (informal supervisor). From January to May 2020, he was a Research Fellow at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing of UC Berkeley. Then, in 2020 he became a CNRS researcher LIP6 (CNRS/Sorbonne Université), where he focuses his research on quantum complexity theory and cryptography.

Stacey Jeffery received her Ph.D. from the University of Waterloo in 2014, under the supervision of Michele Mosca, after retiring from a highly successful musical career, which culminated in singing the backup vocals for the soundtrack of the trailer for a documentary about the making of a commercial in Peru. After a postdoctoral fellowship at Caltech, she moved to CWI in Amsterdam, where she continues to research quantum algorithms and cryptographic protocols, as part of QuSoft, the research center for quantum software. Since 2023, she has also been a professor at the University of Amsterdam. In her spare time she sometimes reads Theory of Computing.

Thomas Vidick graduated from UC Berkeley in 2011; his advisor was Umesh Vazirani. His thesis focused on the study of quantum entanglement in multiprover interactive proof systems and in quantum cryptography. After a postdoctoral scholarship at MIT under the supervision of Scott Aaronson, he moved back to sunny California where he was a professor in Caltech's department of Computing and Mathematical Sciences and a member of the Institute of Quantum Information and Matter until 2024. In 2022 he crossed the Atlantic and moved to the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, where he currently resides and works.
