Chief Financial Officer
Ed Durkin leads QuEra's financial operations and general administration, including strategic financial planning, investor relations, capital strategy and financing initiatives, and corporate development. He joined QuEra in mid-2024 as the company moved from early customer adoption toward commercial scale in neutral-atom quantum computing.
Ed brings more than three decades of financial leadership across public and private technology companies. He served as CFO of Casa Systems, a public networking company, where he oversaw all financial, investor relations, and corporate development functions. Earlier, he was CFO of Fuze, a unified communications company acquired by 8x8, CFO of Actifio, a data management company acquired by Google, and President and CEO at Tactical Communications Group which was acquired by Curtiss-Wright. His earlier roles spanned finance leadership at Digital Guardian, Interactions and other public technology companies in the Boston area.
Across these companies, Ed has focused on driving long-term financial performance, strengthening corporate governance, raising debt and equity capital, and leading IPO and M&A processes. He began his career with ten years at Ernst & Young and holds a degree from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.

Co-founder, Chief Technology Strategist
Nate Gemelke is a co-founder of QuEra and serves as its Chief Technology Strategist, shaping the company's long-term technical direction across hardware, software, and applications. He was QuEra's Chief Technology Officer from the company's early days, where he led the technical development of its neutral-atom quantum computers, built out the scientific and engineering team, and worked closely with early users of the systems.
Nate spent more than a decade in academic physics before helping start QuEra. He was an Assistant Professor of Physics at Penn State University, a Research Associate at Harvard University working on quantum information processing with neutral atoms, and a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Chicago. His research has spanned ultracold atoms, many-body physics, and the control techniques that underpin neutral-atom quantum computing.
He holds a Ph.D. in physics from Stanford University and a B.S. in applied mathematics, engineering, and physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

President
Takuya Kitagawa leads QuEra's products and operations and co-leads its corporate strategy, partnerships, organization, and fundraising. He serves on the company's board of directors and leads QuEra Computing Japan as Representative Director and President, driving the company's role in Japan's national quantum strategy, including QuEra's first on-premises deployment at AIST in Tsukuba. Since joining in 2023, he has paired deep scientific expertise with operating experience to accelerate QuEra's commercial growth.
Before QuEra, Takuya spent nearly a decade at Rakuten, rising to Managing Executive Officer, Chief Data Officer, and Global Director of the Rakuten Institute of Technology. There he led AI, research, and data strategy across more than 70 business units and built a global organization of over 700 people. He is an external board director of Mercari and co-founded the Well Being for Planet Earth Foundation.
Takuya holds an A.B. in mathematics and physics from Harvard College and a Ph.D. in physics from Harvard University, where his theoretical work introduced the now-foundational concept of Floquet topological phases.
