Our research follows 7,547 researchers, builders, lab leaders and public voices through cited biographies. Missing career records can lower counts. Outdated roles can overstate current counts and change ranks. Citation figures count 1 of the 3 people here now. People whose OpenAlex record may be incomplete or mixed are left out. Publication numbers from OpenAlex, as of 22 October 2026. Career and profile data as of 22 October 2026.

We estimate that 7 people shaping AI have worked or studied at Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, including 3 (43%) here now and 4 with former affiliations. That total covers 6 people with work roles and 1 recorded only as a student. Among 628 labs, the group is tied for 33rd on current people and tied for 59th on all-time people. Quantum computing leads 3 areas of expertise (4 of 7 people with profile topics), and researchers make up 3 of the 3 people here now (100%). Dated work records span from 2013 to 2026. Across dated career transitions, we record 3 full moves in and 2 out.

Researchers make up 3 of the 3 people here now (100%), and “quantum computing” leads profile topics (2).Roles, current affiliations, profile topics, and recorded birth countries (0 known) and birth years (1 known) for the 3 people here now.
