Why Us

Christof is a pro­fes­sor of physics at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Siegen. He has work expe­ri­ence with Nobel Prize win­ners Theodor W. Hän­sche and Serge Haroche, as well as with ion trap pio­neers Wern­er Neuhauser and Peter Toschek. In 2001, he devised the MAGIC con­cept and is a lead­ing expert on quan­tum com­put­ing with high-fre­quen­cy con­trolled ions. His strong and diverse net­work in the quan­tum com­put­ing and quan­tum infor­ma­tion com­mu­ni­ty is a pil­lar of eleQtron’s future success.

Michael is a senior research sci­en­tist at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Siegen. He has worked with Nobel Prize win­ner William D. Phillips at his lab at NIST. He has a proven track record in quan­tum infor­ma­tion, quan­tum com­put­ing and pre­ci­sion metrol­o­gy, and is also a senior lec­tur­er at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Siegen.

Jan is an engi­neer by train­ing, and received his MBA from the WHU — Otto Beisheim School of Man­age­ment. After many years in con­sult­ing and cor­po­rate devel­op­ment, he became CEO at the engi­neer­ing spe­cial­ist Albrecht Bäumer. Since 2021, he is eleQtron’s CEO.

Rain­er has a PhD in physics; he was one of the first employ­ees of secunet, a lead­ing Ger­man IT secu­ri­ty provider. As CEO, he led the com­pa­ny towards its IPO and beyond. We ben­e­fit from his strong net­work, and his expe­ri­ence in fast orga­ni­za­tion­al scaling.

Susanne rep­re­sents the Siegerland­fonds,  a cor­po­rate VC fund of the Sparkasse Bank,  in ele­Qtron. With a PhD in Eco­nom­ics and pri­or expe­ri­ence as a con­sul­tant, she is ide­al­ly suit­ed to look out for the needs of our angel investor, and helps us with finance and invest­ment matters.

Theer­aphot holds a PhD in exper­i­men­tal physics — obtained in the group of Christof Wun­der­lich. He is a sea­soned quan­tum com­put­ing and quan­tum infor­ma­tion expert, who suc­cess­ful­ly spear­head­ed our quan­tum rein­force­ment learn­ing project, among others.

Johann has a PhD in exper­i­men­tal Physics, and exten­sive expe­ri­ence in quan­tum optics. He helps us with the tech­ni­cal and sci­en­tif­ic imple­men­ta­tion of our quan­tum computers.
