Pioneering Physicist and Hedge Fund Veteran Brings Foundational Expertise to WorldQuant Foundry's Expanding Advisory Network

WorldQuant Foundry, a venture studio dedicated to building world-changing companies driven by exponential technologies, today announced the appointment of Dr. Dmitry Green as Senior Quantum Computing Advisor. Dr. Green, an active physicist whose research and contributions are foundational to topological quantum computing technologies, joins WorldQuant Foundry's growing network of world-class advisors at a pivotal moment in the commercialization of quantum science.

With two decades of experience simultaneously advancing quantum physics research and having served as a partner and managing director at leading hedge funds, Dr. Green brings a rare dual fluency in science and capital markets. His active research program — focused on designing quantum devices and publishing in top-tier journals including Physical Review Letters — combined with his deep institutional finance background positions him well to help guide WorldQuant Foundry as it seeks to identify and build transformative ventures at the frontier of quantum sensing, networking and computing.

“Quantum computing is not a distant horizon — it is arriving now, and the companies that are built to harness it will define the next era of technology and markets. As a leader in his field, with foundational work in quantum computing and a career spanning both physics and finance, Dmitry’s distinct expertise will strengthen WorldQuant Foundry’s ability to identify, build and scale the quantum ventures that matter most.”
— Igor Tulchinsky, Founder of WorldQuant Foundry and Founder, Chairman and CEO of WorldQuant

Amir Husain, Chairman of WorldQuant Foundry, has long championed the conviction that deep technology — not incremental innovation — is where the most consequential companies of the coming decade will emerge.

“Systems-level thinking and rigorous technical discipline are what separate enduring breakthroughs from passing hype. And quantum technology is the kind of deep tech that demands genuine scientific credibility alongside investment acumen. His work on topological phases of matter represents an important aspect of the science underpinning the quantum hardware architectures that can play an important role in the future. That is why we are thrilled to welcome Dmitry, who brings a great understanding of the underlying physics, and an entrepreneurial mindset, to collaborate with us as we build this next frontier.”
— Amir Husain, Chairman of the Board, WorldQuant Foundry

Steven Lau, WorldQuant Foundry CEO and Managing Director at WorldQuant Ventures, emphasized the strategic significance of Dr. Green’s quantum investing focus. Dr. Green is currently developing investment vehicles targeting quantum technologies across sensing, networking and computing — areas that Mr. Lau sees as central to WorldQuant Foundry’s next chapter of expansion.

“At WorldQuant Foundry, we are laser-focused on exponential technologies with the potential to reshape entire industries. Quantum technology represents exactly that opportunity — and having an advisor of Dmitry’s caliber gives us a perspective and access that is genuinely rare. We look forward to the ventures we will build together.”
— Steven Lau, CEO and Managing Director, WorldQuant Foundry

Dr. Green’s scientific contributions have been recognized at the highest levels of the physics community. One of his most influential works — on paired states of fermions and topological phases of matter — has been cited over 4,000 times and has been recognized as a milestone by the American Physical Society. Paired with two decades at leading hedge funds, he is now channeling this combined expertise into investment vehicles focused on the full spectrum of quantum technologies, including quantum sensing, quantum networking and quantum computing.

“We are at a historic inflection point. Quantum technologies are moving from laboratory curiosities to commercial realities, and the companies built to capture that transition will create enormous value. WorldQuant Foundry’s model — combining advanced AI, data-driven insight, deep entrepreneurial support and world-class talent — is a powerful platform for building in this space. I am excited to contribute my perspective as both a practicing physicist and an investor and to help identify and build the ventures that will define the quantum economy.”
— Dr. Dmitry Green, Senior Quantum Computing Advisor, WorldQuant Foundry

Dr. Green currently serves as Adjunct Professor of Physics at Boston University, where he maintains an active research program designing synthetic quantum matter and devices using superconducting circuit elements and publishing in Physical Review Letters and other leading journals. His recent work has been designated an Editors’ Suggestion by the American Physical Society.

Dr. Green holds a Ph.D. in Physics from Yale University, an M.S. in Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics from the University of Cambridge and a B.A. in Physics from the University of Chicago. He has received several prestigious fellowships, including from the National Science Foundation.
