By: Viraj Dsouza, May 2026 Discovering Quantum Computing My interest in quantum computing can be traced back to a quantum information course that I took during my physics studies. Like many physics students, I was already fascinated by quantum mechanics, but this was the first time I encountered the idea that the same principles could be harnessed for computation. It was my first exposure to the possibility of using quantum systems not only to understand the world around us b
