Sam Hughes (born 1983[1]), known online as qntm (pronounced "quantum"),[2] is a British programmer and science fiction author.[3] On his personal website, Hughes posts short stories such as "Lena" (2022), about the first digital snapshot of a human brain, and serial novels such as Ra and Fine Structure.[4] He has also written for the SCP Wiki, and his book There Is No Antimemetics Division (2021) is derived from that fictional universe.[5] He contributed to SCP-055 alongside user CptBellman.[6]

In 2022, Hughes created Absurdle, a variant of Wordle wherein the word changes with every guess, while still remaining true to previous hints.[7] The Guardian described it as "the Machiavellian version of Wordle", and Hughes described it as an "experiment to find the most difficult [...] variant of Wordle", comparing it to one of his previous projects, the Tetris variant Hatetris.[8]
