Oleg Mukhanov

Oleg Mukhanov has more than 30 years of experience in superconducting electronics and is recognized as a leader in the field.

Prior to founding SEEQC, for 27 years Oleg held roles of increasing responsibility at Hypres, the world leader in high-performance superconducting electronics. He joined Hypres to initiate the development of Rapid Single Flux Quantum (RSFQ) superconductor circuit technology, which he co-invented in 1985 while a PhD student at Moscow State University. Over the years at Hypres, Oleg designed and demonstrated a number of world-record-setting digital circuits. He also has initiated and led many projects on high-performance superconductor digital, mixed signal, and analog circuits based on RSFQ logic and its derivatives. These include circuits and devices for data processors and memory, radio frequency signal reception, signal and time digital processing, cryogenic interfaces for a variety of applications including high-end computing, instrumentation, wireless communications, radar, and electronic warfare.

Oleg earned a PhD in physics from Moscow State University and an MS (with honors) in electrical engineering from Moscow Engineering Physics Institute.
