I have been fascinated by how physics describes the world since I was a high school student. There are some laws of physics that appear to be inconsistent with how we make sense of the universe in our daily life, but do, in fact, explain the world amazingly well. In quantum mechanics, an object can possess a superposition of two states and states change due to measurement. Whenever I encounter experimental results that can be explained by nothing but this weird aspect of quantum mechanics, it always reminds me of how unreliable my sense of the universe is and how important it is to think and act scientifically. I would like to create new technology that can enrich our society by making use of this weird aspect of quantum mechanics. That is why I am working towards the realization of a quantum computer.
