Seth Cottrell

Seth Cottrell teaches quantum computation at the City College of New York and is the designer and PI for their new undergraduate quantum lab.  He's been teaching math and physics in the CUNY system for a decade, but has been doing public scientific outreach in one form or another for more than a decade before that; through public talks, answering strangers' questions in the park, writing articles at askamathematician.com, and a book ("Do Colors Exist?: And Other Profound Physics Questions").

Recently, as part of a broader effort to make quantum theory and quantum computation more understandable and accessible, he's written "Quantum Computation: An Introduction for Undergraduates", an open access textbook suitable for anyone familiar with linear algebra (https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xhtoatg130cgs4upo5lrk/Cottrell.pdf?rlkey=jvdm98ihov83pjxugwpcrsd3n&dl=0).
