Exploring the quantum nature of reality

A physicist navigating between Vienna's ringstrasse and Tunis' medina. Raising bilingual children, writing about the intersections of science, culture, and identity.

Life between
two worlds

Born in Vienna to Tunisian parents, I learned early that identity isn't a single story. Like quantum superposition, I exist in multiple states—Austrian and Tunisian, scientist and mother, analyst and storyteller.

By day, I explore the mathematics of the universe in theoretical physics. By night (and mornings, and weekends), I raise children who speak German, Arabic, and French—sometimes all before breakfast.

Through writing, I bridge these worlds and invite you along on the journey.

The many facets
of my life

Physicist

Theoretical physics exploring quantum mechanics and cosmology. Asking questions about the universe that keep me up at night and running on espresso.

Mother

Two kids, three languages, endless questions. Raising bicultural children means teaching them that differences are strengths and family is gravity.

Blogger

Words as bridges between worlds. Writing about science, culture, motherhood—where these collide and create something new worth sharing.

The laws governing
our universe

E = mc² Mass-Energy Equivalence

Relativity

Einstein's famous equation showing mass and energy are equivalent

iℏ∂Ψ/∂t = ĤΨ Time Evolution

Schrödinger

The wave function evolves according to the Hamiltonian

[x̂, p̂] = iℏ Canonical Commutation

Uncertainty

Position and momentum cannot be simultaneously known

|Ψ(t)⟩ = e^(-iHt/ℏ)|Ψ₀⟩ Unitary Evolution

Quantum Gates

Information is preserved through unitary transformations

The atom's
hidden power

Atomic Structure

Protons, neutrons, and electrons—the building blocks of matter

Radioactive Decay

Alpha, beta, gamma radiation—the atom releasing its energy

Nuclear Fusion

Combining atomic nuclei—the power that drives stars
