Gina Passante likes to spin yarn. And quantum particles.
As an avid knitter, she spins the yarn as a hobby. As as doctoral student at the Institute for Quantum Computing, she spins the quantum particles (or at least manipulates and measures their magnetic spins).
Gina’s eclectic interests piqued the curiosity of reporter Rose Simone, who wrote a terrific article that appeared on the front page of last Saturday’s Waterloo Region Record.
So if you ever need a cozy homemade blanket, or you want to implement an algorithm on a nuclear magnetic resonance quantum information processor, just ask Gina!
