Raphael Seidel finished his Master's degree in quantum field theory at RWTH Aachen in 2020 and started working at Fraunhofer FOKUS in 2021. His main research interests are scalable quantum algorithm development, quantum programming languages and quantum arithmetic. In his time at FOKUS, Seidel developed the high-level quantum programming language Qrisp. Qrisp enables developers to write efficient and scalable quantum algorithms. A key distinguishing characteristic of Qrisp is offering programmers the chance to step away from direct manipulation of quantum circuits during software development, and instead introducing abstractions to make such implementations simpler, more streamlined, and closer to approaches in classical programming.
