Quantum research is pushing boundaries — but withoutclear communication, how do we cross into the future?

In this episode of Beyond the Bit: Quantum Pathways,I sat down with Maria Violaris, Quantum Physicist, Science Communicator, and Content Creator at Oxford Quantum Circuits (OQC). Maria is a rare talent who proves that deep technical expertise and high-quality storytelling are a powerful "superpower."

🔥 In this episode, we dive into:

💎 Maria's unique hybrid role balancing advanced research like quantum error correction)with vital external communication.

🧠 How making content for the public actually fuels and informs her fundamental quantum research.

🏆 The mission behind her efforts, including the Quantum Foundations podcast and the "Quantum on the Clock" competition.

🚀 The most exciting opportunities and challenges as the industry scales toward mega-cop quantum computers.

💡 Maria's essential advice on why you shouldn't feel pressured to "stay in one lane" in your career.

If you’re curious about how technical knowledge istranslated for the world—and why embracing diverse skill sets is critical for the quantum ecosystem—this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
