The start
The small room was filled with the sound of shuffling papers and the scratching of a pen. The interviewer, a young woman with a notepad in hand, sat across from the professor. He was an older man with a lined face and a bald head, wearing a tweed jacket and glasses perched on the end of his nose. His posture was upright, and he looked serious, as if he had been in this room a thousand times before.
"Professor Harris, thank you for taking the time to speak with me today," the interviewer said, breaking the silence.
"Of course," the professor replied, his voice deep and steady. "It's always a pleasure to share my knowledge with those who are interested."
The interviewer flipped open her notepad and started writing. "Let's start with the basics. Can you tell me a little about your background and how you got into your field of study?"
The professor leaned back in his chair and cleared his throat. "Well, I was born and raised in the Midwest, and I always had an interest in science and technology. When I went to college, I majored in physics and eventually got my Ph.D. in quantum mechanics."
"Wow, quantum mechanics. That sounds pretty complex," the interviewer said, looking up from her notes.
"It can be," the professor replied with a smile. "But it's also incredibly fascinating. There's so much we still don't know about the world around us, and that's what drew me to this field in the first place."
The interviewer nodded, her pen moving quickly across the paper. "And what have you been working on lately? Any exciting research or breakthroughs?"
The professor leaned forward, his eyes lighting up. "Actually, yes. I've been part of a team that's been studying quantum computing, which has the potential to revolutionize the way we think about information processing."
The interviewer's eyebrows raised. "That does sound exciting. Can you explain a little more about how it works?"
The professor launched into an explanation of quantum computing, his hands moving animatedly as he spoke. The interviewer listened intently, scribbling down notes and trying to keep up with the complex concepts he was presenting.
"As you may know, conventional computing relies on bits that are either 0 or 1, but in quantum computing, we use qubits that can exist in multiple states simultaneously, allowing us to perform multiple calculations at once," the professor explained.
The interviewer frowned, trying to wrap her head around the concept. "But how does that actually work? How can something be in multiple states at once?"
The professor chuckled. "It's a bit difficult to explain in layman's terms, but basically, qubits can exist in a state called superposition, where they're in all possible states at the same time. And when we measure them, the state collapses into a single outcome, allowing us to extract the result of the calculation we're performing."
The interviewer nodded slowly, still trying to grasp the idea. "So what kind of applications could this have? How could quantum computing change the world?"
The professor leaned back in his chair, looking thoughtful. "Well, for one thing, it could make encryption much more secure, since the calculations involved in breaking codes would become exponentially more complex. It could also lead to breakthroughs in fields like drug discovery, climate modeling, and even artificial intelligence."
The interviewer was impressed. "That's incredible. It sounds like quantum computing has the potential to change everything."
The professor smiled. "It certainly does. But there are still many challenges to overcome before we can realize that potential. For one thing, quantum computers are incredibly fragile and require incredibly
"Oh why did you say that...?" "could you not tell something else?" "no, it was only thought in my mind that time..." was the countering the thought in Professors
"So what's your plan for next year?" she asked
Professor didn't answered, indeed his face enlongates and eyes enlarged and his face tilted towards center from left.
