📢 My 1st paper in the quantum world is live! A great collaboration with Patrick Emonts and Jordi Tura. We use Santa Claus 🎅 to explain the concept of quantum teleportation, and present a classroom worksheet too. Check it out here: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

I remember the day well. Caught the midnight screening, and then went back to the cinema 10 hours later to catch a screening at 10.00 in the morning. Saw it twice in 14 hours or so. A healthy appreciation of superhero content.😉
