Menno Veldhorst

Menno Veldhorst serves as an associate professor at QuTech, Delft University of Technology, where he has established himself as a pioneer in semiconductor quantum computing. His groundbreaking achievements include the first-ever demonstration of single and two-qubit gates in silicon during his postdoctoral research at the University of New South Wales, which was recognized as one of the top-ten breakthroughs in physics in 2015. Leading his research group at QuTech, he has achieved numerous significant firsts in the field, including the demonstration of a planar germanium quantum dot, a single-hole qubit, two-qubit logic in germanium, a four-qubit quantum processor, and a 16 quantum dot system operated with shared control. His innovative work continues to push the boundaries of quantum computing technology, particularly in the development of semiconductor-based quantum systems.
