Welcome to Quantavar

A place to share my quantum computing activities and musings.

About me

I'm Francis, a career technology services sales person with a passion for quantum computing. I’ve harbored an interest in quantum computing for years, but starting in late 2020, I began to devote much more of my free time researching, self-educating and preparing myself in the hopes of joining the quantum computing industry professionally.

I have my B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Connecticut. I’m currently enrolled at the NYU Stern School of Business pursuing my MSc in Quantitative Management. This program seeks to educate future leaders in data science. It's a part-time degree so it doesn’t interfere with my career. Data science and quantum computing are a great match!

What is a Quantavar?


It's a portmanteau of course! The word combination of quanta and the latin root -var. Are you wondering what those are? I'm glad you asked!
quanta/ˈkwän(t)ə/plural form of quantum, a discrete quantity of energy proportional in magnitude to the frequency of the radiation it represents.
var/var/-var-, root, comes from Latin, where it has the meaning "change.''
Quantavar/ˈkwän(t)əˌvar/the transformative effect of quantum computing on business, industry and society.
