#1 The Goals are Different
First of all, industry is a business. A business needs to make money. Forget about all the startups that go IPO with no business model. It happens, but a business needs to create a product. That product needs to be valuable and be sold to people.
In academia, the goals are about publishing and sharing knowledge. Also a great goal! Just a very different goal.
#2 Pace
I saw my advisor maybe once a week when I was doing research. I had friends who saw their advisor once a month, or even once a QUARTER. The iteration cycles were not great - you’d have to wait a long time to get some feedback on your work. Some labs and groups have weekly meetings, some don't.
Industry moves fast.
We have standup once a day. In standup, you say what you did yesterday, what you’re going to work on tomorrow, and if there are any blockers. That way, your team can help unblock you. Maybe they have a seen a similar bug in your code, or know a paper that can help you with what you’re working on. Of course, there’s some cases where you may need a day or two to unblock yourself, but the point is you’re checking in EVERY DAY. Goals are broken down to daily action steps.
#3: Collaboration
In physics research, physics labs tend to be full of physicists. In physics startups, we have physicists, software engineers, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, product managers, consultants in all sorts of fields.
You get to work with a ton of different people and different backgrounds.
#4 Time Distribution
Theorists who end up coming to industry may end up spending a lot more time doing simulation work or coding work. Again, that’s totally fine, it’s all personal preference.
You’re also probably not going to spend a ton of time teaching, in general. If your goal is to spend a lot of time in a formal classroom, teaching students, academia is a way better suited option for you!
But that doesn’t mean teaching doesn’t exist in the quantum space. Hey, I’m doing a youtube channel on quantum, so obviously, I’m teaching, and I’ve run workshops for people of all ages and expertises on quantum tech.

That's the best video out there for difference between academia and Industry , there was no bias at all whatsoever. This is much needed, lots of information. thank you for sharing
This video is really helpful. I just got into quantum computing and tbh, I am quite confused about what to do after my MS. IBM has this quantum internship and other things so I'll apply for that and see. Thanks for the video, Anastasia.
This is very exciting for me, found the first person talking about quantum computing! I’m in the traditional chip industry, would like to hear more about the stories on your side.
Yippee your video came 😊. I love Quantum computing and this inspiration I have got from you 😊
It's refreshing to see someone so well versed in Quantum computing as you are. Thank you for sharing the knowledge ✨

How to get in touch with her. I need her career guidance
Academia have a lot to pickup from the industry. There are some research centers that are heavily oriented to industry (like IMEC, TUWien, or even IBM research), and those are my favorites. Thanks for the content !
This was awesome, I especially loved that you made the distinction between work environments in how industry is more diverse and active in lab groups while academia is more homogenous and has more solitary periods. I think it's super important to distinguish the differences & nuances on how research is conducted now that Quantum Computing is taking off even more and positions are becoming available that don't require a PhD in physics or EE. Sort of a tangent, but which platform(s) do you think will come out on top in making the first universal, scalable quantum computer? Are there some platforms you think are sort of a dead end?
Thank u for sharing the valuable information
This is a great video Thank you so much for your dedication 🙏
Thanks for your videos and advises!
Thank you so much for making this video, I found it really helpful! I’m currently an incoming physics undergrad and am thinking of going into industry for quantum computing. I was wondering if you could make a “day in your life” video as someone working in the QC industry?
Thank you for the informative videos! Based on current trends, do you think one needs a PhD in a relevant quantum computing direction to do well in industry / start a quantum computing related startup in future?
I really like the way you describe your content. I could listen for hours. Well done.

@@Anastasia-Marchenkova I also wanted to thank you for the Quantum Report site. Got signed up for the newsletter. 😁
very informative. what is ur end goal about ur involvement in quantum computing
I am a CS undergrad who is interested in QC, what pieces of advice you can give me? Your channel is awesome btw, keep it up.
Amazing way to describe things, lots of Love from Punjab!!
I'm from bioinformatics background, do the QC could help solve the biological problems. How should I start to learn QC, programming n it's application.
Hey there plz i need an answer. Do i need to go to a college to study quantum computing or is it like programming and one other thing is it a job that i can work as a freelancer?
You inspired me , and you are the best
Love you, thanks, but any news about quantum computing, any good news
Do you have a PhD in physics? I am currently doing a PostDoc in theoretical physics/chemistry (mostly coding related to quantum mechanics) and I‘m almost certain that after that PostDoc I wanna switch to software engineering. So, going into quantum computing might actually a good way to not waste my physics knowledge. 😁 But I don‘t have any experience in that field apart from having read a little about variational quantum eigensolvers and error mitigation. Do you have any suggestions on how/what to prepare for getting into that field?
Wow, i always thought quantum computing in academia was more interesting than industry, now i partially change my mind. Only 1 doubt: 1. Any open spaces/technical topics for new individuals to start a company in quantum company, I'm sure the problem space is huge but any smaller chunks, that don't need huge capital investment ?
How to get a research position in industry in quantum computing?
Could I study computer engineering in order to get into quantum computing?
Just joined your Patreon. When will QCom take down Bitcoin if ever? You've touched on the subject a while ago, any updates?
Nice video, Anastasia. I had a couple questions: 1) Are people divided into all hardware / all software in industry or are they jack-of-all trades like in academia? 2) How much of a learning curve is it to switch between working with different kinds of QCs?

Great video, very informative! You mention sending atoms across long distances. Do you mean photons or is this some ion trap where you can move the atoms around? How does this work?

What is probability of getting a job In quantum computing MARKET without any degree but having the same amount of knowledge that degree holders have ??
For me your videos have acted like a "Hubble" to understand this field of Quantum computing universe :) , I just wanted to ask being a CS Major undergrad what all skills should we develop during undergrad to join industry in this field and also how can my path look like?

Same question
Nowadays professors do start-ups in clg incubation centers
BTW, Ideally find a team member who knows they're the rubber duck, or it might get awkward...
I just love you 😍
as both a communist and an introvert, it seems academia is far superior. not only do you not have to worry about making profit, and you can veer of into what ever area you currently find interesting, you also aren't forced to interact with new people all the time. I mean, it's basically not even work as you always get to do what interests you. for someone with adhd seems perfect
Hello I am a quantum computing students and researcher
I have a question (maybe a bit weird): "Can I be a Quantum Physicist without a physics degree"?

Yes and actually many renowned quantum physicst didn't started out as physics majors, many of them are at base electrical engineers, mathematicians, material scientists even chemistry majors are in the field of quantum physics and computing. Based on what I have researched many fields from computing to chemistry, biology, astrophysics to particle physics, even areas of engineering which deal with material sciences use principles of quantum physics, it's just huge, so the question to be asked is that what particular aspect and application of quantum physics intrigues you the most, and then you study it, get specialized in it and then you become a quantum physicst. Mainly today quantum physics has found more popularity in computing and information, also quantum computing is more hands on and experimental.

If you got the drive, passion, work ethic, and money, then sure brother. It’s not like you were born to be a quantum physicist and devoted your entire life to that. Most quantum physicists studied something else and then whatever they were studying led them to quantum physics, or they chose to make that switch out of passion or money. You want to start studying quantum physics? Go right ahead. It’s only too late when YOU say it’s too late, so stop saying it’s too late.
What do you think about china's quantum supremacy?
