From Physics Olympiad to building Quantum Computers

[@AJaguar1]

Hi Debo, I also participated at the IPHO 2014 in Kazakhstan, got the youngest participant award. Nice to meet once again, subscribed

[@debobiswas]

Wow! Nice to meet you too!

[@basqye9]

Congratulations on your journey thus far. Your narrative reminded me of a famous Einstein quotation where he says that however difficult your problems are with math, his were still greater. Our skills are relative, pun intended. You're right to say that passion and perhaps unique insights can be as valuable as pure talent. Good luck!

[@rajat0610]

all in for the "chaa series"! :)

[@icebear4186]

That's one heartwarming smile ❤

[@manmanguy8301]

Hello, I just saw your video and I have a few questions 1. What kind of activities did you do in high school that showed your interest in physics? 2. You said during high school you were always dead set on a career in physics. My question is, how did you get introduced to physics and what would you recommend to someone like me in grade 9 trying to get ahead in physics? 3. Whenever you competed in physics competitions, did you ever feel like you were out of your depth and couldn’t compare to those around you? If so, how did you fight against this feeling? I would be much obliged if you were to answer my questions. Thank you for your time and the excellent story!

[@Micetticat]

Always nice to see one of your videos!

[@zayanrafiq4122]

Youre the dream bro, btw could you talk a bit about your journey getting into Princeton. What were your grades and ecas. And how you transitioned after graduation to working in a lab

[@notmavrodi]

Hello! Thanks for sharing you experience 😭 that was so helpful mentally bc I’m now on my physics olys path and been feeling really anxious about them, cuz getting a medal is an opportunity to study in good places as you know. But your story made me feel way better:D that was really interesting to hear that you’ve been to Kazakhstan, my country is near and the cultures are really similar! Thanks for inspiration!

[@notmavrodi]

I have already participated in IOAA(International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics) in Poland and met a friend from Bangladesh:))

[@sohanbhuiyan2544]

Wow, that sounds like an incredible video! I'm fascinated by the potential of quantum mechanics. It would be amazing if you could make a video speculating on the technological advancements that could arise from quantum mechanics in the near future. Quantum computers are just the beginning; I can only imagine the revolutionary discoveries and applications we'll witness. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

[@fahimmehtab7086]

Vaiya I would really appreciate the cha series with some fantastic physics facts in the background. And I am a cha enthusiast too.

[@debobiswas]

Noted :)

[@IITjee-g2h]

I'm also interested in this.but nobody told me about Olympiad and jee like exams but now after 12th I'm preparing for jee mains (not advanced).And now I can't choose physics bcz I m going to do engineering and I think I will study physics by my own and then move to physics but I don't know the actual path to follow

[@x0x0456]

Hello, could you make a video about your journey making it into Princeton in the first place? I'm about to finish high school next year, and I want to know more about American unevrisities, as well as the application process, scolarships, etc.

[@_slvya1647]

Bro you're living my dream life. I love physics but i just hope I could've gotten better physics teachers. Now its a bit late for me to get into olympiads. JEE hi sahi❤️‍🩹

Picking up the words - passion and persistence - from this video among all the other interesting stuff

[@Ztvp22]

I'm 23 years old Sri Lankan.. I'm a businessman. I'm educated in the physical science stream in Sri Lanka.. (pure maths,applied maths,chemistry & physics ) I only graduated to A/l's.. Then me and my brother started this business and it went really well.. my a/l results are really good.. I got A passes for Maths & Physics .. C passes for chemistry .. But those days I only want money.. So I did not go to the university and try to improve my business.. Now I have a lot more money than my other students who are in university .. But now I realise money is not important anymore for me.. So I like to go for academics and I really love to go to "Deep Learning" and my purpose is to be a researcher on AI at sillicon valley company.. But I have a problem.. I'm 23 now.. These days I work my A/L and go to university and get a Bsc engineering degree in computer engineering from sri lanka and after that I like to come to the USA and do a phd .. Then I want to join sillicon valley .. Is my age barrier to my future goals??

[@debobiswas]

It's inspiring to learn you're so interested and excited about science and tech. Age is not a barrier at all - even less so in USA. I wholeheartedly support you following your dream. Getting a Master's or PhD in USA is a good pathway to enter the US workforce, including tech jobs in Silicon Valley.

[@saurav8406]

hello, recently saw your video and first of all you have really an amazing journey and a supercool job , so now my question is can you tell me how you got into Princeton as undergrad since it is not possible for me to join Princeton as an undergrad i am considering it for my masters so your advice will be really helpful in my future career endeavours

[@debobiswas]

I applied through the CommonApp, like any other candidate. I believe my strengths were my clear passion for physics, a great SAT score, and strong personal story that I was able to convey through the required essays.

[@adibahamid9917]

Hello dada! I couldn’t get into the US universities. But i love physics and might pursue my undergrad in physics at Rajshahi University . Can you please make some videos about how students in bangladesh can make their undergrad meaningfull as most of us know literally nothing about it. And dada please do make videos on how to get into researches. How to do it! How to start it? Your videos might be my guidelines for my Master’s and Phd in the USA. Please do share something. And reply if you read it. TIA dada! Lots of love from bd.

[@debobiswas]

Will do my best!

[@debobiswas]

You can work on quantum computing software. But it's important to get research/work experience.

[@01agnikmandal36]

Dada I am a 3rd year ug student in Delhi university and I want to apply for masters in US. I can only go if I get full scholarship. So please make a video on the pathway for South Asian students to US grad school

I would like to know how you got admitted in Princeton. Was there any specific process?

[@pushpita1700]

Hello,I am a student of class 9....I also want to attend in IPhO... Would you give us a guide line Plz....from🇧🇩

[@timothyelicada2630]

I am currently taking my undergrad Computer science here in the Philippines. How can I get into working/developing quantum computers? Where are the best opportunities to do that? Should I also study physics? I would love to hear your thoughts. I really believe in the future of quantum information.

[@debobiswas]

That's awesome, thanks for your comment! You can start on your own by reading books about quantum computing. Quantum Computer Science by David Mermin is a good book for CS people. But of course the best way to learn is through research, so see if you can get some research experience

[@debobiswas]

Studying some physics will definitely help you get a grasp of quantum physics, although I know many CS people with no physics background who work on quantum computing software. You can try taking a few quantum classes and seeing how you like them. Research opportunities are available in many places, including prominent ones in USA, Canada, UK, Austria, Switzerland, Australia, China, Singapore.

[@gautaminaik7237]

Hey it would be a greater help if u just guide the people how to actually begin with the study of quantum computing

[@1manisha]

Bro is there any way so that i can contact you?

[@zainformatics5498]

Hey! Thanks for sharing. I wanted to know if you could share, that I am currently a Bioinformatics student (Undergrad) and I want to get into Quantum Computing. First of all, I don't really have a professor working in this particular field at my university. Secondly, the majority of work is in understanding DNA, RNA level, and visual bioinformatics. Considering that, I want to work on Quantum Computing and Drug development using it. What I wanted to know was, Can I do my fyp on this considering I'll have no mentorship. And am I on the right track? So please if you could elaborate

[@debobiswas]

I would encourage you to stick to your specialization because 1) it's extremely valuable to become highly skilled and knowledgeable in one area, especially when it's a burgeoning field like bioinformatics; and 2) the usefulness of quantum computing in aiding drug discovery is theorized, but useful applications are far far away. Besides, these useful applications will likely come from collaboration between bioinformaticians and quantum engineers anyways. So you can always help by honing your skills in bioinformatics. You can learn more about QC in the meantime by reading papers and books, and if you're serious you can pursue a master's in quantum information abroad. I really cannot advise on what you should do for your FYP but generally it's better to work on projects where you will have mentoring. Hope that helps!

[@zainformatics5498]

Thanks. It was really helpful. @@debobiswas

I relate to that ma saying 'you should not drink dudh chaa in the morning', and have you appeared for JEE Mains, Advanced or any exams of the sort, or you just appeared for SAT and got admitted?

That's exactly what I'm looking for ..sir I want to ask you a question .. I'm not quite good in mathematics ... So can I take physics major at undergraduate level??? I'm literally so confused from last few weeks ... waiting for your reply...

[@debobiswas]

Remember to have a growth mindset, not a fixed mindset. Growth mindset will take you very far in life. Don't think you're not good in mathematics, tell yourself that you're learning and can get better with practice. Mathematics is a very important tool for physics, so keep practicing.

[@makeitright01]

@@debobiswas you're right sir ..I will definitely improve myself .. Thank you so much for this amazing advice 🙏 I appreciate your character ✨

[@kugelblitz6821]

a medal after having studied for a week only? You are awesome, Dada! Did you start back then,(when your teacher told you) I mean problem-solving or did you have experience before? I would LOVE to know more from you! Keep making content!

[@debobiswas]

Back in 2011 Olympiads weren't popular in Bangladesh like they are now. So problem solving was a new concept to me then, because it's different from a homework "exercise". Really I spent a week studying class 10 physics materials, while I was in class 9, within the week that I had. But after that year I spent more time studying and practicing for the Olympiad each year.

[@kugelblitz6821]

@Debopriyo Biswas woah, getting along with a new thing and achieving with 1 week of practice - perhaps you were built for physics! That's why you can say you are living your life now!

[@SearchinPRANAV]

sir im very much intreseted in quantum computing , an indian how do i start my journey and can you recommend any colleges...please

[@SearchinPRANAV]

and how did u get ur undergrad abroad ?

[@debobiswas]

If you want to work on quantum computing, the best degrees to pursue are physics, electrical engineering, computer science, or mathematics. Focus on science, not the institution. It's important to build a strong foundation in science, first and foremost, and for that you have to read books and work out problems. I'll plan to a book recommendation video in the future.

Hi, right now i am hsc candidate from Humanities background but i have passion in math and physics. i have one option to study in math for bachelor that will give me du. the requirement is i should have math in hsc but now i don't. i have 2 month for exam and my test exam just have finished. so in this situation should i change my subject to math?? plz suggest me

[@debobiswas]

Hey, thanks for your question. I don't think I can give you the right advice as I did A levels instead of HSC, so I'm not familiar with all the intricacies. I would encourage you to follow your heart and passions of course, and try to only take calculated risks.
