Irish-headquartered Equal1 expands team to include renowned scientists from TNO, the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research.

Equal1 has announced that top experts in silicon qubit technology have joined the company to advance the development of Equal1's next-generation QSoC processors.

World-class team

Nodar Samkharadze, Ph.D., Chief Quantum Architect
At TNO, Samkharadze led efforts to design, manufacture and calibrate the spin qubit quantum processors in Quantum Inspire, the first multi-technology platform quantum computer demonstrator in the cloud.

Amir Sammak, Ph.D., Vice-President of Quantum Material
As a Senior Scientist at TNO, Sammak advanced research on the design, development and fabrication of Si/SiGe and Ge/SiGe heterostructures, and was Engineering Lead of the Quantum Computing Division at QuTech.

Sergey Amitonov, Ph.D., Director of Quantum Device Integration
Amitonov served as a Senior Scientist at TNO, where he led advanced research in the nano-fabrication of quantum devices and oversaw the fabrication of the largest spin-based quantum processor in silicon on a silicon-germanium heterostructure (SiGe).

Nodar Samkharadze: "What sets Equal1 apart—and what drew us to join the team—is their holistic approach. We're not just advancing qubit technology; we're developing the entire system necessary to support commercial scalable quantum computing."

Brendan Barry, Equal1's Chief Technology Officer: "I am incredibly proud to welcome this group of exceptional talent to our team. Together, we're poised to drive the next wave of breakthroughs."
