"My role is really about trying to understand what we can use large-scale quantum computers for taking problems which are too challenging to solve on classical computers, mapping them to quantum algorithms then implementing them in an experimental way."
"Although it seems strange to talk about having a first career and then a second career, I actually began my journey in cybersecurity."
"There was this wealth of new material that was available, so I started trying to understand what on Earth is quantum and I discovered that actually there's an enormous crossover between quantum computing theoretical computer science."
Universal Quantum collaborates with the Open Quantum Institute to use quantum computing for drug discovery. The focus is on developing simulations for non-hormonal treatments for endometriosis. Lucy Robson, a quantum algorithm scientist, works on mapping complex problems to quantum algorithms. She transitioned from a cybersecurity background to quantum computing, finding significant overlap between the two fields. Her journey began as a self-taught programmer, leading her to explore the theoretical aspects of quantum computing.
