MEET THE SPEAKERS
Teiko Heinosaari
Professor at University of Jyväskylä
Teiko Heinosaari is a theoretical quantum physicist. In spring 2023 he started as a professor in quantum computing at the Faculty of Information Technology. Before that, he has worked at the University of Turku, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, Niels Bohr Institute of the University of Copenhagen and Research Center for Quantum Information of Slovak Academy of Sciences.
Laura Piispanen,
Aalto University
​Laura Piispanen, doctoral candidate at Aalto University, studying the intersection of quantum physics, art and games at the departments of Applied Physics and Computer Science.
Simon Devitt, University of Technology Sydney
A/Prof. Simon Devitt is the research director for the center for quantum software and information at the University of Technology Sydney. He is co-founder and managing director of h-bar, the first consultancy dedicated to quantum technology, founded in 2015, and he is the co-founder, Eigensystems, who in 2024 released the first consumer product in quantum, known as Quokka.
Evert van Nieuwenburg, Assistant Professor at Leiden University
Evert is an assistant professor at Leiden University, where he researches the mutual benefits between quantum and AI. He is also a (not-just-quantum) video game fanatic, and the creator of quantum tiqtaqtoe.
Jouni Smed, Adjunct Professor at University of Turku
Jouni Smed holds a PhD in Computer Science and serves as a University Lecturer and Adjunct Professor at the University of Turku, Finland. He has organized and taught game development on diverse topics, spanning from game algorithms and networking in multiplayer games to game software construction, game design, and interactive storytelling. His research interests range from code tweaking to software processes and from simple puzzles to multisite game development.
James Wotton, University of Basel
Dr. James Wootton is a scientist looking at bringing the power of quantum computing to the fingertips of musicians, gamers, and digital artists. After receiving his PhD from the University of Leeds, Wootton relocated to Switzerland to conduct postdoctoral research and lecture at the University of Basel. From 2018 to 2024, he developed quantum computing technology under the auspices of IBM Research, looking at gaming applications as well as research in quantum error correction.
