I am Shaeema, and I am exploring the potential of gamification of quantum optimal control tasks. Quantum optimal control is the complex challenge of controlling atoms in the most optimal way. My PhD focusses on building interfaces for assisting researchers to perform quantum optimal control techniques in ultra-cold atomic experiments. I am also interested in exploring the common interface of research, citizen science and education through quantum games and simulation tools. Read my blog and check out my outreach portfolio to get a sneak-peek of my work.
