Tech Team

Javier GonzálezChief Executive Officer (CEO)

Quantum Researcher at QUTIS (University of the Basque Country). He is focusing his doctoral thesis on studying a wide range of differential equations based on financial models solved by applying different techniques based on quantum computing, such as digital and analog simulations and the application of the HHL quantum algorithm to classical numerical methods.

Ana MartínChief Scientific Officer (CSO)

PhD Student in the University of the Basque Country and member of the QUTIS group. Her PhD thesis work is primarily focused on the development and implementation of quantum algorithms employing different computational paradigms, mainly digital and digital-analog.

Jon Ander OribeChief Technology Officer (CTO)

Senior dual technician in software development, both in the cross-platform and web-based areas. Throughout his career he has worked on multiple european projects, including the smart cities oriented platforms and systems for IoT integration in the industrial sector.

Rodrigo AsensioSenior Quantum Engineer

Quantum computing and quantum physics researcher and PhD student in QUTIS center at the University of the Basque Country. He focuses mainly on quantum simulations with superconducting circuits that exploit these widespread state of the art quantum technologies, but also does research on digital-analog quantum computation and qubit quantum noise characterisation.

Giancarlo GattiSenior Quantum Engineer

Quantum Information Researcher and PhD student at the University of the Basque Country, working in QUTIS center and for the OpenSuperQ Project of the European Quantum Flagship. His research has been focused in developing algorithms and paradigms to obtain quantum computing advantage over their classical counterpart, by means of machine learning and artificial intelligence.
