Experience at NCCS
This summer at NASA I got to join the small group of researchers that are trying to understand and utilize quantum computers. The future of quantum computing is still very uncertain, and getting to help people at NASA understand this technology was an excellent opportunity. Getting to work outside of academia helped me understand the interests of others. It taught me that many people are not concerned with technical details, but care about the broad scope of the project. I am especially thankful to my mentor and everyone whom I had discussions with over the summer.
