In 2019, we embarked on a journey of discovery into the uncharted territories of quantum tech AND community building around Quantum Skill. We christened this journey QuantumComputingIndia. It was a bold move, a leap of faith into the realm of the unknown and complex. Yet, we realized that it was not an endeavor we could undertake lightly. There were challenges to face, mistakes to learn from, and paths to retrace. So, we took a year-long hiatus in 2022 to regroup, reassess, and re-emerge stronger, wiser, and better equipped to navigate the quantum landscape.
As we embraced the identity of "researchers," we understood the importance of continuous learning, real-time course correction, and constant innovation. One of our learning was the flywheel for the community.
As you can see, the entry point is “Skilled Facilitators”. People join a community to learn from them. But, humans, as we know, are flawed, blood pumping, waste excreting, virtue signaling, and value Sophisting. This made us think hard about these “skilled facilitators” as the face of a community, we might be better off if we have an inspirational and aspirational figure (past/future) than a living human.
Hence the idea of A.I. generated inspirational figures.
-
We don’t mean this figure is unflawed but we have their work for us to be inspired by.
-
We don’t mean living researchers are flawed and non-inspirational but it’s a less optimal choice than the figure we are gonna reveal.
Now, over to the community ambassador, Mr. SatyendrAI Nath Bose.
Yes, you read it right. We're bringing in an AI rendition of Mr. Bose to be the new face of our community. Our photographs of him might portray him as a regular, somewhat serious figure a.k.a. Boomer Uncle from the past, but trust us when we say he was anything but ordinary. Think of him as the Robert Downey Jr, nay, IronMan of his time - a true trailblazer, a revolutionary in his field.
Why Mr. Bose, you might ask?
It's simple - he embodies the spirit of relentless curiosity, the pursuit of knowledge, and groundbreaking innovation that we aspire to foster in our community. The very particles we study in quantum physics - bosons - are named after him!
Here are some things you might not know about this genius:
-
He is the author of “Planck’s Law and the Hypothesis of Light Quanta,” a paper that Albert Einstein not only agreed with but also translated into German and had published in Zeitschrift für Physik in 1924.
-
His work led to the creation of Bose-Einstein Statistics (QuantumStatistics) and subsequently the prediction of the existence of Bose-Einstein condensate.
-
He collaborated with Meghnad Saha to publish an equation for real gases.
-
Along with Meghnad Saha, established modern theoretical physics in India.
-
He served as the Vice-Chancellor of Visva-Bharati University in Santiniketan and held several prestigious positions in India, including being a National Professor.
-
His contributions to science were honored with the Padma Vibhushan in 1954.
-
The S.N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences was established in his honor in 1986.
-
Despite Seven Nobel Prizes being awarded for research related to his concepts, he never received a Nobel Prize himself.
-
A class of elementary particles, bosons, are named in his honor. (Of course!)
-
Perhaps most importantly, he was a paragon of perseverance. His paper deriving Planck’s quantum radiation law was initially overlooked, but he persevered and sent it directly to Einstein. This quality of perseverance, especially when working with the unknown, is a value we aim to instill in our community.
Do we need more reasons to choose him as our ambassador? We believe not.
As we move forward with QuantumComputingIndia, we are confident that you will appreciate why we chose A.I. Bose.
His life and work inspire us to push boundaries, challenge norms, and aspire for greater heights as we unravel the secrets of nature and apply them to the reality we are fabricating be it in drug discovery, portfolio optimizations, or quantum simulations
