This quote had an indescribable impact on me. The parallel between exponential functions and human progress is obvious to me. Human progress closely resembles the exponential function. One significant discovery is all that is required for the development to proceed at breakneck speed. In the seventeenth century, gravity was Newtonian.

In the 1800s, it was Maxwell's Electrodynamics. In the 1900s, it was the highly esteemed Quantum Mechanics. Finally, in the 2000s, it will be quantum information. Richard Feynman's miraculous insight into the necessity of a machine based on quantum mechanical principles to simulate nature and Peter Shor's revolutionary touch in his algorithm, among many others, are some of the pivotal moments on the growth curve of this era.

I consider myself fortunate to have been born during the period of greatest human development.

The current rate of scientific and technological advancement is unintelligible. Our scientific footprints span nano to galaxial scales. It is safe to say that the rate of human progress is currently at an all-time high. Science and technology will progress in ways that would normally take centuries. Quantum technology is now taking the place of transistor-based technology. Quantum technology will usher in a new civilisation with capabilities we have only dreamed of for millennia. My mission is to advance quantum technology and help usher in the next stage of human development.
