Tennin Yan is QunaSys’ founder and Chief Executive Officer, where he leads the company’s strategy, product strategy and development to make quantum computing technology industrially useful. He has deep expertise in R&D and is specialized in quantum computer algorithms and applications.
He is focused on application development for quantum computing, comparing it with classical approaches to analyze its performance. His quantum computing expertise covers machine learning, quantum chemistry, and general circuits design. He has published papers in quantum simulator software, VQE, and photochemical reactions.
Tennin founded QunaSys in 2018 together with Prof. Keisuke Fujii with the goal to bring out quantum physics to the front stage and use it to tackle problems that cannot be achieved with conventional technology by actively taking advantage of quantum mechanics.
He has launched easy to use software tools such as Qulacs and Qamuy to code algorithms and take advantage of quantum computing. He engaged with Japan’s main industry corporations, research centers, and academia to create QPARC, a community focused on learning the basics and the state-of-the-art of quantum computer and exploring the potential of applications for material development. QPARC has more than 60 members to QPARC more than 40 companies have learned how to develop quantum computing algorithms and chemistry related use case.
