# Raphael Seidel
Quantum algorithm researcher and co-creator of the Qrisp programming framework.

## About

Raphael Seidel researches quantum algorithms at Fraunhofer FOKUS. A theoretical physicist turned computer scientist, he focuses on making quantum computing accessible to software developers.

He co-created Eclipse Qrisp, an open-source programming framework built on Python. His work moves away from traditional circuit construction and quantum gates, replacing them with a system that lets developers write algorithms as familiar functions using variable abstraction and automatic memory management.
