Pranav Gokhale is a quantum computing leader and entrepreneur with 11 years of experience bridging research and product as CTO of Infleqtion, having scaled the company’s quantum software efforts after acquiring his startup Super.tech. He holds a PhD in quantum computation from the University of Chicago and has won multiple best paper awards while publishing and patenting practical methods to tighten the gap between quantum hardware and software. Pranav has led teams from startup founding to corporate integration, driving quantum compiler and optimization tooling that improve hardware execution and feed into AI–quantum software stacks. Previously he built production systems as an engineer at Quora and held research roles at Argonne and NIST, giving him a rare blend of production engineering, policy-adjacent experience, and lab-scale experimentation. Based in Chicago, he’s known for translating deep theory into deployable systems and for shepherding early-stage quantum software into commercial products.
