Principal Investigator: Jelmer Renema (CSO & Associate professor UTwente)
Dr. Jelmer Renema is Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and is an expert on quantum photonics, with over 1500 citations on 35 papers on the subject. He obtained his PhD from Leiden University in 2011 on a study on superconducting single photon detectors. Subsequently, he worked as a Junior Research Fellow at the University of Oxford before returning to the Netherlands in 2017, obtaining a Veni grant from the Dutch National Science Foundation NWO and founding QuiX Quantum. He has worked in single photon detection, single photon sources, quantum information theory and waveguide optics.
Team members involved in PHOQUSING:
Rolf Evenblij, Strategic Cooperations Manager
He has an international multi-disciplinary record across multiple market sectors providing high level strategic planning focused on technological advancement. Together with Jelmer Renema he will coordinate Phoqusing within QuiX Quantum and be responsible for dissemination & innovation activities.

Caterina Taballione, Commercial Team Lead
She obtained her Master’s degree in Physics in 2014 at the University of Rome La Sapienza. In the group of Prof. Fabio Sciarrino, her thesis was on the resilience of hybrid qubits under atmospheric turbulences for quantum communication. In 2019, she successfully completed her PhD at the University of Twente under the supervision of Prof. Klaus J. Boller, working on integrated programmable waveguide circuits for classical and quantum photonic processing. In 2019, she joined QuiX Quantum as Quantum System Engineer. Now, she is Commercial & Partnership Lead at QuiX Quantum.
