In honour of World Quantum Day on 14th April 2024, I collaborated with friends Jacob Watkins, Ben Hall and Frances Lunder to produce a quantum computing themed parody! Jacob and I wrote the lyrics, and they are sung by Frances Lunder as a "Variational quantum algorithm", and Ben Hall as a "quantum scientist", telling the emotional story of working...
ABOUT ME
Hello, I'm Maria! I am a PhD student at the University of Oxford researching the foundations of quantum information. My interests range from the quantum arrow of time to quantum paradoxes and quantum computing. I have done several internships combining quantum with science communication, at IBM Quantum and Riverlane, and I am active in many outreach, education and entrepreneurship initiatives.
