ANDREA RODRIGUEZ BLANCO- DIRECTOR & WRITER
She studied physics at Univeristy of La Laguna in Tenerife. After working in experimental quantum computing with trapped ions at University of Sussex, she moved back to Spain. She is now doing a PhD in theoretical quantum computing and quantum information at Complutense University of Madrid.
BEATRIZ DEL POZO DÍEZ- CAMARA & EDITION
She studies Journalism plus Media and Multimedia studies at University Europea of Madrid. In spite of her youth, she stands out by her maturity and professionally with the camara. Pay attention to her, this is just the beginning of Bea del Pozo!
MARINO ELORZA FERNÁNDEZ- NARRATIVE
He studies Media and Multimedia studies at University Europea of Madrid. He puts “The Voice” to this story. We are sure he will become one of the future voices of the spanish radio!
DAVID GUTIÉRREZ ALONSO – DIRECTOR’S RIGHT-HAND & THE PILGRIM’S GUIDE
He studied Business Administration and Management. His two passions are football and accounting. It seems that for now he prefers the Spanish Treasury Ministry rather than the Santiago Bernabeu. We are sure he would take a good care of the public funds! He played an important role in the correct development of the film and his help during all the process has been invaluable. His favorite role within the production was as a pilgrim’s guide. He acted as a quantum network iniside Legio VIII Quantae, allowing the correct transmission of quantum information between the pilgrims.
ANA MULLOR RODRÍGUEZ- FLAMENCO PHOTON
She is in her last year before University. She has always been able to combine her studies with her passion for dancing. She has been practicing it since she was eight years old! In the short-film, she represents a flamenco photon. She picks a qubit from a box full of two level-systems, like for example, an atom. She behaves as a wave, dancing at the speed of light, but she also acts like a particle to excite the qubit by transmitting her energy and imparting a momentun-kick to it.
PAULA RODRIGUEZ DE LAS HERAS- GIMNASTIC QUBIT
She is the youngest of the cast. Since she was six years old, she has been doing artistic gymnastics. In the story, she is a qubit, a two-energy level system of an atom. When she stands straight on her feet she represents the zero state of the qubit, however, when she receives enough energy of the photon, she does a handstand, representing the one state, the excited state of the qubit. She can spontaneously emit the photon and come back to the zero-position state. And when she is doing somersaults on the air, she is representing a superposition state.
CLAUDIA, INÉS & CARLOTA- THE PILGRIMS
They are also in the last year of High School, previous to their University studies. They represent the power of friendship and moved by their curiosity, they walked together towards Legio VIII Quantae following the European’s Robins. It seems that the orientation of these migratory birds is based on a kind of quantum mechanical compass, that helps them to detect the weak Earth’s magnetic fields during annual migrations. They arrived at the last stop, León Cathedral, and if individually, their friendship was strong, entangled they will never be separable.
ADELIA, PRIS, AMOR, TACHI, MARI & NATI- THE PLAYERS OF THE QUANTUM GAME
This group of friends have been playing cards together every Thursday for almost 30 years. Even thought they were really professionals of the spanish-type cards, they adapted really well to the “quantum cards” game and now they can’t stop! By using this game, the physicists from the Academy achieved that they understood quantum circuits. They try to construct error correcting codes with these cards, which some represent qubits, others single-qubit gates, entangling gates, or for example measuring projectors. However, there is always one of them in charge to introduce errors into the code; the task of the rest is to overcome this by their ability to reconstruct the quantum circuit.
