Hello, I'm Maria! I am a quantum physicist, science communicator and content creator. Recently I started hosting a Quantum Foundations Podcast on my YouTube channel.
I've been working at the quantum computing company Oxford Quantum Circuits since October 2024, in a hybrid role of research on quantum error correction and science communication as "Developer Advocate". I have a PhD from the University of Oxford in the foundations of quantum information science, including the quantum arrow of time, quantum measurement paradoxes and locality in entanglement.
Alongside my PhD, I did several internships combining quantum with science communication, at IBM Quantum and Riverlane, and was active in many outreach, education and entrepreneurship initiatives.

What do Raspberry Pis and chocolates have in common? Quantum computing!
Do you like your eggs scrambled forwards or backwards?
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...
