Hey there,

I’m excited to meet you!

I’m Michaela Eichinger. I’m a physicist by training, with a PhD in experimental quantum computing from the Niels Bohr Institute, Copenhagen, Denmark. Today, I’m a Product Solutions Physicist at Quantum Machines, where I help quantum teams run faster, scale smarter, and get real results from their hardware.

I spent my early career deep in the cleanroom: designing superconducting circuits, fabricating transmon qubits, and running low-temperature measurements to understand what really makes qubits tick. That hands-on work gave me a deep appreciation for how hard it is to build reliable quantum systems and how interconnected every layer of the stack truly is.

Since then, I’ve moved up the stack. At Quantum Machines, I now focus on hybrid quantum-classical control, and scaling strategies for fault tolerance. I work closely with hardware teams around the world, driving product strategy, technical partnerships, and long-term roadmap alignment.

I’m passionate about building a well-rounded perspective across the entire quantum stack - from materials and gates to protocols and systems - and sharing insights from that journey along the way.

If you're building in quantum, watching from the outside, or just trying to keep up -welcome. I’m glad you’re here 🙂
