World Class Quantum Experts
Leadership with Decades of Quantum Expertise
At nodeQ, we bring together a team of top-tier experts, including leaders in quantum communication and computing, with years of experience at the forefront of academic and industrial innovation. Our team has collaborated with world-renowned universities and research institutions, ensuring a foundation built on cutting-edge science and proven expertise. ​​​​​​
Prof Stefano Pirandola (Rome 'La Sapienza', MIT, York) is well known for his contributions to quantum security and networks, with 200+ scientific papers in high-profile journals. Prof Pirandola proved the most advanced form of security for many QKD protocols in various operational conditions (fiber, free-space, satellite connections). He discovered the ultimate capacities for quantum communications and devised tools for routing optimization in quantum-resistant and fully quantum networks.​
Prof Sam Braunstein (Melbourne, Caltech, York) is one of the pioneers of quantum information, with about 40 thousand citations. Among his many contributions, Prof Braunstein introduced high-rate (continuous-variable) protocols for quantum communications, quantum teleportation networks, entanglement distribution, quantum computing and quantum error correction.​​​​
Dr Cillian Harney (Belfast, York) is a deep expert in machine learning applied to the optimization of classical, quantum-resistant (PQC, QKD), and fully quantum networks. He developed novel routing methods specifically tailored to quantum communications in networks of arbitrarily complex topology. At nodeQ, he is the head of quantum networking.
Dr Ignazio Pedone (Polytechnic University of Turin) is a deep expert in cybersecurity, from classical to quantum and post-quantum. As an academic, he contributed to developing a software stack for quantum-safe communications in cloud environments. At nodeQ, he wears the hats of cybersecurity lead and product manager.​​​​​​
