University of Basel Research Fellow
Basel, Switzerland
I am a scientist working on the theory of how to make quantum computers a reality, based at the University of Basel. My game development activities started a couple of years ago when I began work on a citizen science project called Decodoku. This culminated in a set of simple puzzle games that let the public participate in our research.
More recently, I have been playing with the prototype quantum computers that are (finally!) now available. I've not only been using them for science, but I have also been developing games for them. I am also writing tutorials to help others do the same, using publicly accessible quantum processors on the cloud.
