The Queen’s School of Computing is pleased to announce that alumna Alice Wismath is in the news today, as physicist Stephen Hawking plays a game of quantum chess inspired by her 2010 summer project and her 2011 CISC-499 project (in which several features were added, such as quantum entanglement used in the version played by Hawking).
