I am a master’s student in Quantum Science & Technology at TUM. Before that, my majors were Physics and Aerospace Engineering.
I believe the promise of the second quantum revolution is going to mark an important milestone in humanity’s advancement. For that, they deserve a thorough analysis from a governmental and societal perspective. My involvement in Quantum Social Lab is a result of this conviction.
Emily Haworth is a Quantum Science & Technology M.Sc. student at both the Technical University of Munich and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität. She is currently doing her master thesis on the topic of fermionic tensor networks. Alongside her studies, she created ‘PushQuantum: Climate’ which aims to support quantum technology to be an overall carbon negative endeavour. Through this, she has established collaborations addressing the role of technology in the environment and society. She is also part of the organisational team for the Quantum Energy Initiative (QEI), bringing attention to the importance of assessing the physical resource cost of quantum technologies.
