00:02

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

four universities and also industry

01:34

opportunities

01:36

working in sydney you really feel like

01:38

you're part of a world-renowned

01:39

community so it's really motivating to

01:41

come to work because you really feel

01:42

like you're

01:42

working with the best
