About me

Menno Veldhorst is an associate professor at QuTech, Delft University of Technology.

Menno Veldhorst is a pioneer in the field of semiconductor quantum computing. During his postdoctoral research at the University of New South Wales in Sydney he demonstrated for the first time single and two-qubit gates in silicon, recognized by PhysicsWorld as one of the top-ten breakthroughs in physics in 2015. At QuTech, his research group demonstrated many ‘firsts’, such as 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.
