i've always been
00:03
really passionate about physics since i
00:05
was young because
00:06
i think it gives you the best
00:07
opportunity to really understand the
00:09
nature of reality
00:10
and with quantum mechanics in particular
00:12
it gives you an opportunity to explore
00:14
the inner workings of the universe
00:16
at a microscopic level there are effects
00:18
like quantum entanglements
00:20
long-range correlations and interference
00:22
effects that nature is just giving us
00:24
for free
00:25
and will provide a huge benefit for
00:27
current and future technology
00:29
and also for society as a whole quantum
00:32
simulation
00:33
is one of the main applications of
00:35
quantum computing it will help in the
00:37
development of new pharmaceuticals
00:39
new renewable energy sources new
00:41
materials
00:42
many other things that we cannot even
00:44
think of i love the tech aspect of
00:45
quantum computing so as you can see
00:47
behind me we get to work with lots of
00:48
really cool
00:49
complex and interesting equipment and
00:51
it's really satisfying to develop a
00:53
mastery of that what excites me about
00:55
being part of the
00:56
sydney quantum community is that we have
00:58
one of the largest density of
01:00
researchers
01:01
in the broad spectrum of topics and we
01:03
can get to them just by hopping on the
01:05
bus
01:05
there are many benefits of the sydney
01:07
continent academy scholarship
01:09
i would say first and foremost from a
01:10
practical perspective
01:12
the scholarship provides me with the
01:14
funding that i need to be able to pursue
01:16
a phd full-time one big benefit of being
01:18
part of sydney quantum academy is it
01:20
gives me space to connect with peers and
01:22
academics from my own university
01:24
and the others across sydney
01:26
[Music]
01:28
why did i choose sydney well it's just
01:30
great there are many startups
01:32
