Summary
Oleg Mukhanov is a veteran superconducting electronics pioneer and co-founder who currently serves as Chief Science Officer at SeeQC, bringing over three decades of technical and leadership experience to quantum computing hardware. He co-invented Rapid Single Flux Quantum (RSFQ) circuit technology as a PhD student and led its commercialization into the world’s first RSFQ-based Digital-RF receivers during a long tenure at Hypres. As CTO and later CSO of SeeQC, he has translated deep physics and circuit-design expertise into practical digital, mixed-signal, and time-to-digital converter systems for high-performance applications. He holds a PhD in physics from Lomonosov Moscow State University and an MS in electrical engineering (with honors) from MEPhI, and is a Fellow of IEEE and recipient of a major IEEE award in applied superconductivity. With more than 200 publications and 50+ patents, he combines prolific research output with hands-on product delivery and industry stewardship, including leadership roles in international superconductor communities. Based in New York, he blends academic rigour with entrepreneurial drive, often bridging niche superconducting science to commercially viable quantum hardware.
