Meet Alex, a second-year Quantum Information student at the University of Waterloo. With a fascination for the intersection of physics and computer science, Alex spends countless hours at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), often debating the nuances of quantum theory with fellow students. A self-proclaimed nerd, they’re passionate about making the complex world of quantum mechanics accessible to everyone, but they firmly believe that the best discussions should stay within the walls of IQC to maintain its unique culture.
