John Phillip Preskill (born January 19, 1953) is an American theoretical physicist and the Richard P. Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at the California Institute of Technology, where he is also the director of the Institute for Quantum Information and Matter.
Preskill is a leading scientist in the field of quantum information science and quantum computation, and he is known for coining the term "quantum supremacy"[1]
and that of "noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ)" devices.[2]
