• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. LinkedIn profile (the person's own profile) lists real, dated roles at Solidus: Senior Algorithm Developer (Jan 2022 - Nov 2023) and Algorithms Team Lead (Nov 2023 - Aug 2024), with a self-summary describing the employer as an algo-trading company. Solidus is independently verified as an algorithmic/electronic trading firm via its own website (solidus-tech.com): 'a young and dynamic algorithmic trading firm ... building innovative and scalable electronic trading systems.' Identity is supported by a coherent public profile (IMO 2011 Israel, TAU mathematics/physics, Weizmann PhD physics, Unit 8200). These are actual employment roles, not student programs. Caveat: the LinkedIn-derived role data was returned via an enrichment index and has not yet been corroborated by a separate independent primary source.2024
• LinkedIn profile lists Peter Leviant as Founding team software engineer at a stealth company since 2024, based in Tel Aviv-Yafo, after two roles at Solidus (Senior Algorithm Developer 2022-2023; Algorithms Team Lead 2023-2024).2024
• Self-describes as 'Algorithms team lead at an algo-trading company' with an ML/technology focus and a background in 8200 security research and quantum computing research.2024
• Solidus (solidus-tech.com) is a real algorithmic/electronic trading firm ('a young and dynamic algorithmic trading firm ... building innovative and scalable electronic trading systems'), so the employer is a genuine quantitative trading company, not a name coincidence.2023
• Identity is coherent across independent sources: the same name appears as an IMO 2011 Israel contestant (mathematics), a Tel Aviv University mathematics/physics graduate, a Weizmann Institute physics researcher (quantum codes paper), and a Solidus algorithm developer in Tel Aviv.2011
• Education: PhD Physics (Weizmann Institute of Science, 2020-2022), MSc Physics (Tel Aviv University, 2019-2020), MSc Mathematics (Tel Aviv University, 2013-2017), BSc Mathematics (Tel Aviv University, 2009-2013).2022
• Co-authored 'Quantum capacity and codes for the bosonic loss-dephasing channel' (published in Quantum, 2022) with Qian Xu, Liang Jiang and Serge Rosenblum, consistent with his physics/quantum-computing work at Tel Aviv University and the Weizmann Institute.2022
• Military service: Israeli Military Intelligence Unit 8200, Operations Research lead (2015-2017) then Security Researcher / cyber security R&D (2017-2020).2020
• Authored the mathematics paper 'Morsifications of real plane curve singularities' with Eugenii Shustin (Tel Aviv University), posted to arXiv in March 2017, consistent with his MSc Mathematics period at TAU.2017
• Represented Israel at the 2011 International Mathematical Olympiad, scoring 15 points (rank 282, 50.1%) and receiving an Honourable Mention.2011
• Career reads as a mathematics/physics to quantitative-computing track: TAU mathematics TA (2013-2015) during his MSc, then Unit 8200 (operations research 2015-2017, then cyber security R&D 2017-2020), then Solidus as Senior Algorithm Developer from Jan 2022 and Algorithms Team Lead from Nov 2023.2024
• Has an INSPIRE-HEP author record (P.Leviant.1), a physics literature index entry. Index-only: this is an aggregator record, not independent primary-source confirmation.2022
