Co-Founder & Chief Operating Officer

Tim Menke

Tim Menke is Co-Founder & COO of Atlantic Quantum, where he leads supply chain strategy, government affairs, and business operations.

During his PhD at Harvard and MIT, Tim bridged quantum algorithms with superconducting circuit design using machine learning techniques. He was the first to experimentally demonstrate multi-body interactions between quantum bits and the ability to control the strength of these interactions.

In addition to his doctoral work, Tim spearheaded a research collaboration with BMW, Zapata, and MIT, in which he co-developed quantum-inspired and quantum algorithms to optimize complex manufacturing schedules.

Tim holds a PhD in Physics from Harvard University, as well as master’s and bachelor’s degrees in Physics from ETH Zurich in Switzerland.
