How did you first become interested in Quantum Computing in the first place?

What was your initial drive to want to build a career in quantum computing?

It’s not like CS where it’s perceived as an “easy career that pays well”.

For me, I started with the simple notion “I like computers, and quantum computing seems like a more interesting and advanced version of normal

computers”.

Of course my first inclination was a little naive, but that’s OK. It eventually grew into a genuine passion. I feel like everyone’s interests originate from some visceral and unconscious gut feeling and can build to a true passion with real experience.

What was your gut feeling that has drawn you in to quantum computing? I shared my naive start, so it’s OK if yours is simple too.
