Biography
Ahmed Younes is Professor of Quantum Computing at Alamein International University, on leave from Alexandria University. He is the founder and leader of Alexandria Quantum Computing Group (AleQCG), the coordinator of QEgypt (QWorld cousin) and the representative of Egypt in World Quantum Day (WQD) and the representative of the Arab States in the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ2025) Steering Committee endorsed by UNESCO.
He is the former Vice Dean of Education and Student Affairs, Faculty of Science, Alexandria University. The former Manager of the International Scientific Publishing Center, Alexandria University, and also the former Academic Supervisor of the Faculty of Computers and Data Science, Alexandria University. Former Honorary Research Fellow at School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham, United Kingdom.
He obtained his PhD from University of Birmingham, United Kingdom in 2004 in quantum circuits and quantum algorithms. He introduced techniques in amplitude amplifications and quantum search algorithms, known as `Partial Diffusion Operator’ and made contributions in representing Quantum Boolean circuits as Reed-Muller logic. He published many papers in Quantum Algorithms, Quantum cryptography and Reversible Circuits.
