I’m Max, a computer science graduate and quantum computing nerd. I’ve recently graduated from the University of Oxford and I’m now working as a research assistant in quantum computing and computer science at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. This website is home to many of the things I am working on, just to put them out there in case they may be useful to someone else at some point. Take a look around and let me know if you could use my stuff for anything cool! :)
