Maria Violaris is a PhD researcher in quantum information at the University of Oxford, and a prize-winning science communicator. Working with IBM Quantum, she created a 14-part video series for the Qiskit YouTube channel, using quantum computers to demystify paradoxes.
Previously she interned at Riverlane, where she built a “Raspberry Pi quantum computing lab” simulation. She writes quantum news articles for Physics World; is on the IOP QQQ group committee; and founded Oxford Quantum Information Society.
She frequently creates and participates in events, initiatives, talks and workshops aimed at High School students, public and learners, and has published research in quantum education. Recently she started a Quantum Foundations Podcast on her YouTube channel.
Top Goal
Build a scalable routine for taking video / content ideas to production. Specific projects: Quantum Foundations Podcast; video series on Quantum Information and Spacetime; and video series on Thermodynamics.
