Want to work in quantum computing? Watch this.

So many people ask me how to get into quantum computing - but most of them don't even know why they want to work in quantum computing in the first place. They think it's "interesting" and it "combines all their interests", but nothing beyond that. AND THAT'S OK - for now.

I know tons of people spending lots of money on “quantum computing masters degrees” because they like the idea of working in quantum computing, but don’t actually know what it’s going to be like and don’t actually know what they want to do.

Thinking about a career in quantum computing? Before you dive in, ask yourself: Is this really the right path for me? In this video, I walk through essential questions to help you decide if quantum computing truly aligns with your interests and goals.
