Jeremy Hilton joined D-Wave directly after obtaining his BSc. in Physics from the University of British Columbia. As Director of Intellectual Property, he was primarily responsible for managing the transfer of intellectual property from D-Wave's global collaborative network to D-Wave. In less than three years, he grew D-Wave's Intellectual Property portfolio from 13 to 126 patents filed. With his knowledge of the IP behind our technology, Mr. Hilton was a natural choice to assume responsibility for management of the processor development effort when D-Wave undertook the project to bring the ideas to fruition.Since 2004, Mr. Hilton has led a team of engineers and scientists in D-Wave's Processor Development group, creating a world-class R&D facility and focusing their technical efforts on building the first scalable quantum processors in the world. He led the creation of the worlds' most advanced superconducting integrated circuit foundry, centrally managed in state-of-the-art semiconductor facilities in Silicon Valley, which produced the quantum processor behind D-Wave's first product and continues to push to unprecedented levels of integration. Projects have ranged from the design, modeling and testing of superconducting devices to the development of low-noise superconducting fabrication processes.Mr. Hilton is a named inventor on 28 granted US patents.
