The Journey of a Co-founder: From Applied Physics to Quantum Technology

(IQT.QuantumTechPod) Host Chris Bishop, today interviews Niels Bultink, Qblox Co-Founder & CEO. Niels specializes in controlling quantum computers performing the first feedback on solid-state qubits in 2012. His PhD research with Leonardo DiCarlo at TU Delft has led to more than ten scientific publications centred around fault-tolerant quantum computing with superconducting circuits. The work at QuTech enabled the control of setups with up to 50 qubits and has now found its way to the market via the company Qblox. With Qblox new and industrialized generation of control stacks, he is paving the way for quantum computer integrators worldwide to reach practical applications in quantum computing. Niels is co-founder and CEO of Qblox, he is responsible for General Management, Sales, Fundraising, IP growth and HR. IQT hopes that our conversation with Niels Bultink will make this an interesting, informative and worthwhile talk for you.
