Oleg A. Mukhanov (born 1 December 1959[1][better source needed] or 8 December 1959[2][3][4][better source needed]) is a Russian electrical engineer. He is an IEEE fellow who has focused on superconductivity.[5] He is the co-inventor of SFQ digital technology. He authored and co-authored over 200 scientific papers and holds 24 patents.[6] He is American[contradictory] and resides in the United States.[4]

Early life

[edit]

Mukhanov earned his bachelor’s degree at the National Research Nuclear University/Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, and his M.S. in electrical engineering with honors there in 1983.[7][8] He earned his Ph.D. in physics from Moscow State University in 1988.[9][8][7]

Career

[edit]

Mukhanov has over 200 scientific publications including 3 book chapters, 141 peer-reviewed articles and 41 conference papers.[8][10] He has 24 published and pending patents.[8][11] He has more than 30 years of experience in the field of superconductivity.[8]

He led the development of a generation of energy-efficient single flux quantum technology and superconducting ferromagnetic and spintronic random-access memories for energy-efficient computing.[7][clarification needed][better source needed] He co-invented a digital RF architecture, and led development of the world's first[weasel words] commercial use of superconducting computing, a cryocooled digital radio frequency system based on RSFQ.[7][better source needed]

Mukhanov was the president of the US Committee on Superconducting Electronics[clarification needed] between 2005 and 2007.[8] He is an editor of IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity.[8] He is active in the IEEE Quantum Future Directions Initiative[clarification needed][7][better source needed], and he received the IEEE Award for Continuing and Significant Contributions in the field of Small Scale Applied Superconductivity in 2015.[8] He is a member of the American Physical Society.[8]

HYPRES

[edit]

Mukhanov joined HYPRES as Chief Technical Officer in 1991 to initiate the development of rapid single flux quantum (RSFQ) superconductor circuit technology,[8] which he co-invented in 1985 at Moscow State University as a PhD student.[8][12] He worked there from April 1991 to May 2013, eventually attaining the titles of General Manager and Senior Vice-President.[8] There, he led many projects on RSFQ-based circuits, including data processors, radio-frequency signal receivers, signal processors, and cryogenic interfaces for computing, wireless communications, radar, and electronic warfare.[8] In 2011, Mukhanov and his colleagues at Hypres discovered that they could increase the efficiency of superconducting circuits by replacing bias resistors with inductors and Josephson junctions; they published their discoveries in June 2011 in the IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity.[13][12]

Mukhanov worked as CTO and Senior Executive Vice-President of HyPR from May 2013 to 2019.[7][better source needed] As of 2016, Mukhanov was the CTO of HYPRES.[14]

SeeQC

[edit]

Mukhanov is Chief Technical Officer, co-CEO and co-founder of SeeQC since May 2019.[15][16][7] He was appointed as director of SeeQC on 12 June 2018, but resigned on 16 May 2019.[4]

Recognition

[edit]
  • IEEE Fellow (2012) for leadership in research and development of superconducting digital electronics.[5]
  • IEEE Award for Continuing and Significant Contributions in the Field of Small Scale Applied Superconductivity in 2015.[17]
  • IEEE Council on Superconductivity (CSC) Outstanding Service Recognition for service as an editor of Special Issues of IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity.[18]

Personal life

[edit]

Mukhanov lives in Putnam Valley, New York.[1][2][3][better source needed] He married Irina B. Mukhanov.[2][3][better source needed]
