**Abstract:** Current procedural content generation in media suffers from a dichotomy: it is either computationally efficient but predictable, or creative but prone to hallucination and error. The solution lies in a fundamental shift from classical procedural generation to quantum constraint satisfaction algorithms. In this talk, I will present the technical roadmap for MOTH, exploring how quantum computing is poised to become the foundation of the next generation of media. At MOTH we categorize the ecosystem into two eras: the current NISQ era, focused on Quantum Dynamics for visual and game asset generation, and the impending FTQC era, focused on optimization and generative solvers. We will demonstrate how early quantum algorithms are being integrated into commercial game engines today, and how the "Solver Substrate" of the 2030s will enable faster game development with more realistic and immersive worlds. **Bio:** Spencer Topel is a technologist and entrepreneur specializing in the commercial application of frontier technologies, including quantum computing, robotics, and embedded systems. He currently serves as CTO of Moth Quantum, where he directs the engineering roadmap for quantum software tools designed for the creative industries. Simultaneously, as Co-founder of Electron Robotics, he architects AI-driven adaptive systems for high-precision industrial automation. Topel’s technical background is rooted in the design of novel hardware and signal processing platforms. Through his first venture, Physical Synthesis, he developed proprietary acoustic actuation technology, earning industry recognition for innovation in electromechanical design. His pivot into quantum engineering began at the Yale Quantum Institute. Working alongside the Devoret Lab, Topel successfully engineered a hardware-software interface for superconducting qubits, translating quantum state dynamics into audio signals—a project that validated new approaches to human-computer interaction (HCI) in quantum systems. A former professor of Dartmouth College, Topel combines academic rigor with agile product development. He holds advanced degrees from Cornell University and the Juilliard School, and his transdisciplinary work has been exhibited at Lincoln Center and the Museum of Modern Art.

We'll be meeting at Planet Rose again! February is Black History Month, so be prepared to sing songs by your favorite Black singers and songwriters!

This is an event where anyone left of center can participate in tech projects, learn about technology, teach others, and build cool stuff! If you know electronics and computers, or know how to code, or just want to learn, you'll fit right in! We'll also discuss the role of technology experts in today's world, and how technology professionals can make a positive impact in the face of fascism and oppression. Let's put our skills to good use, while we make professional connections and good friends along the way! For our first project, we're building a usable, offline, uncensored LLM chat program that can be stored on a USB. We're using the Lamma 3 model for our LLM. Or, if you have a better idea for a project, bring it up at the meeting and maybe we'll do that instead! Either way, come ready to learn and build something cool, unique, and useful.

Join us in person for an All-Ivy + Business Networking Event in Montclair, NJ. Connect in person with fellow alumni and professionals from Ivy+ institutions for an evening built on one simple idea: everyone has something valuable to offer, and someone valuable to meet. In this event the organizers will use AI to match you up with the 5 attendees who can help you the most, and the 5 attendees you can help the most.
