Tennin Yan is the CEO and co-founder of QunaSys in Tokyo, leading efforts to make quantum computing industrially useful by focusing on application and software tool development. With 11 years of engineering experience and a background from The University of Tokyo, he blends research-driven rigor with startup execution to find practical use cases and build developer-friendly quantum tooling. He contributes to open-source quantum projects such as Qulacs, where he has worked on performance-sensitive simulator internals like gate merging and build tooling. Tennin’s work sits at the intersection of algorithmic innovation and developer ergonomics, aiming to lower the barrier for classical teams to leverage quantum advantage. Colleagues describe him as a founder who still writes and optimizes core backend code, not just strategy.
