At Quantum B he leads R&D projects.

Dr. Miriam Kosik graduated in Physics from Nicolaus Copernicus University. Her Ph.D. research combined quantum optics, solid-state physics, and software development. She gained international research experience at the Donostia International Physics Center and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, and has professional expertise in classical and quantum programming as well as data analysis. She also worked for Creotech Instruments S.A..

Dr Beata Zjawin earned her PhD in Physics from the University of Gdańsk in 2024 and completed her MSc at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in 2020. Her academic research focuses on quantum information science.

Ewa Poławska is a public relations and public affairs expert with over 20 years of experience. Her work with the Polish Armed Forces and in the space sector has given her insight into industries where precision and credibility are essential. She specialises in strategic communications, media relations and reputation building for technology companies. She works confidently at the intersection of public administration and business, understanding both corporate objectives and the constraints within which public institutions operate. At Quantum B, she develops and implements the company’s communications strategy, strengthening its visibility and relationships with the media, business partners and public institutions.

Konstantin graduated from the Department of Informatics of the Catholic University of Lublin. He previously worked at MakoLab on a major blockchain project. Konstantin has now joined Quantum Blockchains and is also working on the team to create our Quantum MetaChain.

Ryszard Olejnik graduated from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Lodz University of Technology. He has worked at MakoLab for more than 20 years, gaining extensive experience in software development. After joining Quantum Blockchains, he has been focusing on the development of interfaces for quantum entropy generators and on the software stack for pQKD devices.

Albert is a software developer at Quantum B, where he works on post-quantum cryptography, PKI, and network security. Over several years with the company, he has helped build and operate the infrastructure behind its PQC and quantum key distribution work, taking ideas from research to systems that run in practice. He holds Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Computer Science from the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. He is drawn to the emerging frontiers of cybersecurity, where quantum computing and AI are reshaping both the threats and the defenses.

Kanstantsin Trukhanau completed both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Computer Science at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. Toward the end of 2025, he joined Quantum Blockchains, where he is currently involved in the development and testing of software for quantum technologies.

Tymoteusz is a software developer with over eight years of commercial experience, specializing in post-quantum cryptography and its applications in blockchain security, digital identity, and quantum key distribution. He holds a Master’s degree in Philosophy from the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. His passion lies in building cryptographic systems resilient to quantum threats.

Whilst still a student at the Faculty of Electronics at the Warsaw University of Technology, Maciej was employed as an instructor in the use of CAD/CAM/CAE software for electronics design, a skill he has been honing for four decades. An equally important area of specialisation is the design of secure LAN/WAN computer networks, backed by international industry certifications, including Cisco Certified Network Associate. At Quantum Blockchains, he combines his passion for designing microelectronic devices with his experience in the field of networks and microchip firmware.
