Hi! I just want to tell You that Im a 15 Year old girl and currently super interested in physics and quantum things. I just found your channel and to finally see a girl doing sciency things was really an inspiration for me! Thank you and I will continue to watch your channel while learning more about the magical world of physics
Hi. I don't know if you'll see this. If you don't, that's alright too. I randomly stumbled upon your channel. Thank you for sharing your story. It's morale-boosting. And I'll even say intimidating to me at the same time. But that timidness stems from admiration too. You're well versed, accomplished, possess the intellectual capability I wish I had sometimes, and are living the type of path that I once wished I had. I'm one of those folks who find science topics cool even though I'm not good at it, don't understand or grasp many science & math concepts, and have no intention of going into a STEM career. As strange as that might sound. I'm just a curious layman watching into the bubble from the outside. And yes, I know that hard work and dedication plays a big role in it too. And we could all achieve great things if we put our minds to it. But it goes to show too that one's upbringing/milieu plays a large part in how well one might thrive. For one, like someone just mentioned, having supportive parents can make a difference. And how lucky you are to have had that; supportive parents who had shared interests and involved you into something from an early age. I never had that as a child. I struggled a bit more than my peers. I always fell behind. I struggle with dyscalculia and host of other things. I was on an IEP throughout most of my academic career. Parents are immigrants who were unfamiliar with the U.S. school system & curriculums. They aren't bad parents though. We just didn't have access and knowledge of what resources to use. I sometimes can't help but imagine how I'd turn out today had things been handled better and if I was brought up differently. I've also been put down and dealt with some toxic teachers and classmates growing up. Even to this day, at age 32, I still feel behind and stunted sometimes. It feels wasteful... But I make do of what I have. Anyways, I'm sorry for my nonsensical ramble. I'll see myself out. Thank you again for sharing your story. Stay humble. Keep doing what you do and keep striving and being an inspiration to others.
Hi! Thank you for your thoughtful comment. You're totally right. I got lucky in many things - like you mentioned, the amazing family. I'm healthy. In some other things, maybe I got unlucky - I was jealous of my college peers who didn't have to take out student loans and work at night. We all are dealt a certain hand. And there's always someone to compare to. I met a friend for dinner last week who is about to sell his company and I just thought "ugh, I'm so behind. I should have done this and that. I wish x and y had/hadn't happened. I made a bad decision." I think of that supermodel I follow on Instagram who I think is AMAZING and is my gym inspo and she still filters her photos, you know? But what can we do? I think all of us sometimes wish for what we don't have. I'm trying out writing a gratitude journal this year. I thought it was so silly, but maybe it will rewire me a bit. Lots of life ahead. "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." - Gandalf
I listened to her full story totally in awe!! She is the superwoman I've always wanted to see in stem fields!! Her story surely inspires and empowers girls/women in stem like me 🥰
I really want to pursue the sciences but I fear that I might not be as intellectually capable as her, I'll spend years studying physics in college, then end up falling way behind wasting money, and dropping out because of an intellectual handicap.
I work with a lot of Ph.D.'s, and my dad had one. Talking to them convinced me to never get a Ph.D. Too many nightmare stories. Not everyone regrets it, but the risk is too high.

man... idk if you realise how amazing your story is. Heck... the fact that you started research at an undergrad level truly brings my time as a second year student into perspective. Like what I am doing... just reading notes 💀
Love your videos! Thank you for sharing. I’m a software engineer wanting to get into quantum, so I’m glad to hear there is space for non-traditional people!
@@Anastasia-Marchenkova That makes sense. I think you’re definitely helping bridge that gap by bringing awareness about this field, and also providing resources to help people make that transition. I hope to be one of those people very soon! Thank you. (:
I call it Physics Vision: when your in the physics library, the previous lecture the professor just went over the material for the homework, it’s due tomorrow, and you don’t know how to start, so you just cry for a bit, and then get started.
Thanks a lot Anastasia for clearing out so many doubts regarding this field. I'm a 10th grader and was always interested in pursuing physics and quantum computing but was unsure about the oppurtunities. I'm from India and here everyone is after engineering and the scope for physics is very low. So I plan to do college in US and my parents still think physics degree wouldn't be worth it and without a lot of money. I'm definitely goin to show this to my parents to persuade them further. Thanks a lot again.
@@Anastasia-Marchenkova That's why I'm currently learning python and along with that I'm planning to double major in physics and computer science and surely I'll take a lot of math courses in college because I love maths. Thanks a lot for ur advice anyway and wish me luck
Wow, Deep Work on the desk... what a coincidence! Seriously, though, this book is a game-changer. Two years after reading it, I still surprise myself with how much can I achieve and how happy and peaceful can I be if I just live a focused life.
@@Anastasia-Marchenkova I read Deep Work 3 times, So So Good They Can't Ignore You twice, and still counting. Just got 3 top-notch machine learning research internship offers :)
Wow, I thought this will be an uninteresting story and still decided to give it a shot. I regret nothing, this was something I was looking for. Great video!
Heck, this is one hell of a career journey. I am in my 30s with a CS degree but I always loved physics more than anything back in my high school years. I used to skip literature classes and spent times in the college library trying to find out interesting math and physics books. I remember I once found a book on math around astro-navigation and it caught me like science fiction.
@@Anastasia-Marchenkova Exactly, it is like moving from one struggle to another since i was a kid. Except that, after every struggle my [growth level] increases, after every struggle i become a different person. So i'm enjoying the growth even though it is painful, i'm enjoying the struggle. My body is a bit weak compared to other people, so i need to take care of my self a bit then i will have more "fun" :D
What a dynamic career path. Loved it. 🤩 Exploring on the "Cutting Edge" of Human ingenuity. I wish to have a similar Dynamic career trajectory. 🙄 This is what Steve Jobs meant when he said: "Keep looking, Never Settle" 🤓
That’s amazing I’m pursuing a career as a AI engineer but I’ve been self teaching myself about quantum physics for the past 5 years and I’m highly interested in expanding my knowledge with quantum technology so I can make a quantum neural network for AI
I was learning AWS today, and a service got my attention: AWS bracket. So I found my way to your channel, and immediately become your fan. You should give a Talk on TED talk. 😆
it's like a dream to see someone so interested in quantum computing and so open minded to try it all. it's the kind of science adventure I would love to have had. instead I finished telecommunications engineering and landed programming job. it's good for paying the bills but not even a bit exiting as your story :D
This was great Anastasia. I do think that in today's world, with it's challenges, (many of them hidden out of sight), what people need most is inspiration, a flame which is fanned into concerted passionate action. Well done to you for your own achievements here.
About 2 years ago, I had to leave school too, but hearing your story is making me want to get back on track with programming and continue where I left off. Thank you for making this video
Even though I know very little about Quantum Computing but I couldn't stop myself to watch whole video just to see your cool adventures

I am really impressed. So much that if you were a movie character I'd have said: "Nah, this seems a little bit unrealistic. They are really overdoing the characters these days." Yet here we are :)
Is that to prevent the sun's energy from throwing off the processors' qubits' states; some kinda torturesq power-move mind-game by the boss; or just inconvienient office placements? If it's just to keep the sun out, I wonder why they wouldn't throw up extra walls to make dark/cold clean-rooms for the electosensitive stuff and leave some windows for the human stuff; small price for the staff's health and sanity. and Alex M: Right where my head went too lol; which now has me wondering what these quantum computers' software architecture looks like. It'd be a shame to have folks ^^^^ starved of sunlight just to have their hard work disgracefully slowed by running a twice compiled version of Windows XP; like building a Ferarri engine to power a bicycle lol.
As an senior undergraduate Physics student in a trapped ion quantum information lab, this video was super motivational and gives me hope for my future! Thanks haha!
Sophomore in Cornell here. The story makes me very inspired to continue with quantum hardware. Have been extremely engaged and learning methods in SC JJ circuits. Led me to drop astrophysics for this amazing field
"Don't go to grad school only because you don't know what to do" Totally agree. I think you already hit on the best things grad school can offer, you teach (RUclips) and probably have access to cool gadgets to conduct research, and gained enough experience to update your knowledge and read literature papers. You pretty much don't need a PhD lol (I am a grad student and those are some if not the most important aspects). Good luck and huge #Respect.
Your story is super inspiring. I just completed my high school and I'm searching for colleges. I came across quantum computing when I was in my first year and it really interested me.Could you please assist me of which field I have to choose for studying quantum computing as the colleges I searched do not have quantum computing as a degree. It's either Engineering Physics or Computer science engineering these are my options right now and I really wanna get into quantum computing. Please help . Thankyou😊
Hey buddy . Shit happens. Gather everything back again and do something what u think has not been done yet. Everything smaller than that will disappear
Thanks, I study physics but lately I have felt that I have no idea what to do although there are many things that I am passionate about, such as quantum computing, your video has motivated me to continue working hard
@@Anastasia-Marchenkova I would be most happy to meet you in the real-life once you will return to Amsterdam in the near future! for now, take care and keep up the great work you do! Latersss Lourens
At least, it is true in Quantum Computing. Full disclosure: I got into this stuff in 1999 (!), long before it was fashionable. I'm not sure why so many good looking women went into this field.
I just try to imagine, how people in your class were feeling, like a guy or a girl is in physic at university, not too sure of what he or she wants to do, he is the stereotype of people studying in that field. Meanwhile, sitting next to you, there is this Russian girl, younger than you. That knows more than you about physics. Who speaks already, Russian, English, Dutch, from what I know. Looking like a top model. How intimidating is that?
This actually isn't that rare at schools with large physics departments. My peers were diverse, so I was able to grow out of my shell. I was shocked at first when I discovered the "physics kids" aka the ones that are the nerdiest people on this planet out on weekends partying and having a good time.
"I didn't want to be a professor anymore" - yeah, I can relate to that! Main reason I drifted out of grad school, short of starting the actual PhD process.
An amazing story, wow, and so inspirational as well. I did a physics degree, I got a master's in it and I think also was attracted to it because my dad was a physics teacher. I was just enthused so much growing up and intrigued. I'm a bit older than you so space was the big thing at the time and computer science was still quite new, in the 90s. I love the past of your story about writing to professors and applying for jobs on a research team, I wish I'd done that, I wish at the time I'd known it was even possible. Maybe that's one thing students should be made more aware of, what is possible. When I graduated I'm not sure I thought that there weren't jobs of there. You're right though in that the jobs actually using the physics that I'd learnt were sparse, mainly in the defence industry and I just didn't want to go into that industry, I didn't want to stay and do a PhD and didn't want to teach, but I knew the skills are had were attractive to potential employers. You're so right that physics gives you a base to quickly learn new things and apply them, also to question and try to look at problems from lots of different angles. I ended up working with databases and then into software, well a mixture of both really. Looking back I too wish that I'd taken more computing modules, but what I did have me a taste for more, and I was even more enthused when working on a group project trying to build a basic speech recognition system. That failed and didn't come to anything, but it did make me want to pursue a career in IT. The whole quantum computing revolution seems amazing and if I were coming up to going to university or even coming up to graduating I think I'd be very interested in this area as well. Only just found your channel so thanks for sharing your story. I'll have to binge watch the rest of your videos now!!!
College at 16 sounds fun....even though in my country some students are great and have good experience...they just can't jump into college ... especially STEM students. The credits system is introduced in colleges...It would have been awesome if it were like US schools...😔 Anywayss, I did Quantum Computing at 17✨✨💓 which was just 7 months back....and am on it! Loved your video!!
This is too difficult for me. I don’t know whether to focus on you or to focus on what you are saying. Both are attractive. Retrospectively, i rarely have to choose like this.
Hey Anastasia. Thanks for sharing your story and congratulations for maintaining this channel! I would like to peek a little into your experience: What is the best quantum/hybrid platform/library/language for SAT solving? And what is the current limit, in terms of number of variables, it could actually solve? (I hope you do not mind the question, you probably know it from the top of your mind and I am overwhelmed in the search for the answer as a new comer.)
Hey Anastasia! I heard bout quantum physics in Avengers:Endgame and was so hyped to learn it ... and I did learn the basics and now I'm in the last year of my schooling in India and I want to do AI and Quantum computing ... Is this a good combination for doing research ?
Yes I studied astronautics engineering, but to really really understand physics I did my bike test and got a fast motorbike. First day I had it, I accidentally rotated the throttle more than I should have and wheelie'd down the slip way onto the motorway (highway for you yanks). Designing an inertial anti G drive now so I must have learnt something, can't understand physics if you just live in books.
I’m a software/data architect consultant, I also have a mechanical engineering degree. I am very interested in the field of quantum computing. Any suggestions on getting started would be appreciated .
Inspiring, I'm a physics too :-) . I dropped out of my PhD after I was not able to work/find a lab to finish my work after my funds dried up, thinking about next step too although I'm 37, now need a job though, will see.
@@Anastasia-Marchenkova I'm thinking I need to learn code or maybe get into science communication so maybe RUclips but it takes time. I need to learn a lot more software though to get into data science. Maybe later I can give it another try. How much time do you give to all the different avenues you are working on?
Hey, hope you are doing good now. Leaving a phd in mid a courageous step… i am happy to see people who got clarity to take decisions for themselves instead of just blindly following the league.❤
Привет, Anastasia - I feel that you're my *"long-lost twin"!* My own academic path has been very non-linear, to put it mildly... and roamed across math, cs, machine learning, molecular biology... with a longstanding deep love of physics - not pursued professionally, notwithstanding a job at Lawrence Berkeley Lab when I was in grad school - but always there... With great effort, I've been _resisting the temptation_ to jump into quantum computing, never mind 2 job applications to Rigetti, to focus on my other research areas (in Knowledge Representation, in "ML meets neurocomputing", and in quantitative modeling of biological systems)... But I'm currently taking a stroll thru what may be the best book ever on Mathematical Physics (Peter Szekeres), in anticipation of taking my foot off the brake for quantum computing! And, likewise, I interrupted graduate school, and I started a company at one point, haha Lately, I've been mostly working in Pharma, and more specifically in the Healthy Longevity field. A lot of good wisdom in the advice you dispense in your video! I love Russian, btw, and it's next on my to-study list... for now focusing on German, while trying to keep up my French and Brazilian Portuguese. *Yes, I'm crazy... we're both crazy* :) I best describe myself as a "POLYMATH" - a description that seems to match you, too, to a T... I use that term in my blog: JuliansPolymathExplorations.blogspot.com/p/blog-contents.html

Waiting for your future videos on quantum computing
this is really motivating for entrepreneurs: thought she needed a phd, thought she was gonna be a professor, now making money on youtube
Thank you so much Anna! You are such an inspiration for me❤
All the greats started college at 16.. :) Keep up the good work!!
Your story is super inspiring. I just completed my high school and I'm searching for colleges. I came across quantum computing when I was in my first year and it really interested me.Could you please assist me of which field I have to choose for studying quantum computing as the colleges I searched do not have quantum computing as a degree. It's either Engineering Physics or Computer science engineering these are my options right now and I really wanna get into quantum computing. Please help . Thankyou😊
hi, right now I am in the same position and i’m wondering what you ended up choosing?
I needed to drink two coffee during this vid, just so my brain could keep up with what you are telling
This is just want I needed, thanks. Im sure all your projects will be great success.
U are such an amazing learner
I went to university at 16. Sadly I didn't do anything special since then.
Hey buddy . Shit happens. Gather everything back again and do something what u think has not been done yet. Everything smaller than that will disappear
Добрый день Анастасия! Очень интересная жизнь у вас. Рад, за вас, что вы заняты тем, что вызывает у вас такой интерес. С любовью из Флориды!
You’ve had a great career path! I find you very inspiring!
Facinating, will definatley follow up with more videos. Would love to know more about this stuff before I graduate.
Thanks, I study physics but lately I have felt that I have no idea what to do although there are many things that I am passionate about, such as quantum computing, your video has motivated me to continue working hard
2:40 is such a mood
As a current physics major graduating soon, quantum information seems pretty interesting to go into
Wow really inspiring to all of us, you did too much things within 20's 👏
You have such a cool story, excited to learn more from you!
Hey,
I suddenly found your video and I love the way you are talking,
Love your voice🔥
Lovely history to hear, we all have different paths. Blessings for the future :)
Man... I'm 31 and just starting graduate studies is PQC. This is half motivating, half I've wasted my life.
I wondering did I change change speed of RUclips 🤣 ...
😂😂😂
Inspiring. Anastasia, if you are conducting research, try to see if you can use that to pursue a PhD in parallel. Having a doctorate opens new doors.
Fascinating story Anastasia, thank you for sharing! let me know when you have plans to return to the Dam....best from Amsterdam-Jordaan
@@Anastasia-Marchenkova I would be most happy to meet you in the real-life once you will return to Amsterdam in the near future! for now, take care and keep up the great work you do! Latersss Lourens
So, the supermodel science nerd trope in all those movies has some truth to it. Lol jk
At least, it is true in Quantum Computing.
Full disclosure: I got into this stuff in 1999 (!), long before it was fashionable.
I'm not sure why so many good looking women went into this field.
RUclips seems to have a problem with "Esquire" URLs, but search for "the Isaac Newton of Biology."
@@davechapman6609 who cares if the women in this field are beautiful, what about men? are the men in this.field handsome?
@@franz3810 Only the young guys are good looking. Once they get tenure, fuhgeddaboudit. ;-)
Interesting story. You have gained a sub! I’m a physics academic in the UK with a bit of an outsider story, so this resonated!
I just try to imagine, how people in your class were feeling, like a guy or a girl is in physic at university, not too sure of what he or she wants to do, he is the stereotype of people studying in that field.
Meanwhile, sitting next to you, there is this Russian girl, younger than you. That knows more than you about physics. Who speaks already, Russian, English, Dutch, from what I know. Looking like a top model.
How intimidating is that?
This actually isn't that rare at schools with large physics departments. My peers were diverse, so I was able to grow out of my shell.
I was shocked at first when I discovered the "physics kids" aka the ones that are the nerdiest people on this planet out on weekends partying and having a good time.
A real nightmare of her classmates...
"I didn't want to be a professor anymore" - yeah, I can relate to that! Main reason I drifted out of grad school, short of starting the actual PhD process.
You're an inspiration!!. I hope all of your dreams come true. !!
An amazing story, wow, and so inspirational as well. I did a physics degree, I got a master's in it and I think also was attracted to it because my dad was a physics teacher. I was just enthused so much growing up and intrigued. I'm a bit older than you so space was the big thing at the time and computer science was still quite new, in the 90s. I love the past of your story about writing to professors and applying for jobs on a research team, I wish I'd done that, I wish at the time I'd known it was even possible. Maybe that's one thing students should be made more aware of, what is possible.
When I graduated I'm not sure I thought that there weren't jobs of there. You're right though in that the jobs actually using the physics that I'd learnt were sparse, mainly in the defence industry and I just didn't want to go into that industry, I didn't want to stay and do a PhD and didn't want to teach, but I knew the skills are had were attractive to potential employers. You're so right that physics gives you a base to quickly learn new things and apply them, also to question and try to look at problems from lots of different angles. I ended up working with databases and then into software, well a mixture of both really.
Looking back I too wish that I'd taken more computing modules, but what I did have me a taste for more, and I was even more enthused when working on a group project trying to build a basic speech recognition system. That failed and didn't come to anything, but it did make me want to pursue a career in IT. The whole quantum computing revolution seems amazing and if I were coming up to going to university or even coming up to graduating I think I'd be very interested in this area as well.
Only just found your channel so thanks for sharing your story. I'll have to binge watch the rest of your videos now!!!
College at 16 sounds fun....even though in my country some students are great and have good experience...they just can't jump into college ... especially STEM students. The credits system is introduced in colleges...It would have been awesome if it were like US schools...😔 Anywayss, I did Quantum Computing at 17✨✨💓 which was just 7 months back....and am on it! Loved your video!!
XD your physics undergrad stories are killing me so relatable
Awesome, wishing you all success. Remember you are still in the beginning of your journey. A little bit of focus can help.
my reaction to your face plus quantum computing was WOAHW
Atleast Now i know it is beyond my capabilities 😭. Respect for your hard work.
This is too difficult for me. I don’t know whether to focus on you or to focus on what you are saying. Both are attractive.
Retrospectively, i rarely have to choose like this.
Yes! Finally, someone did say that compuet science is just a tool. Thank you from the old-ish plasma dude
Hey Anastasia. Thanks for sharing your story and congratulations for maintaining this channel!
I would like to peek a little into your experience:
What is the best quantum/hybrid platform/library/language for SAT solving? And what is the current limit, in terms of number of variables, it could actually solve?
(I hope you do not mind the question, you probably know it from the top of your mind and I am overwhelmed in the search for the answer as a new comer.)
Currently studying physics engineering in Portugal. Now I know that I'm going to America after I finish my studies
Your the cutest physicist I have ever seen! You certainty have earned all you have accomplished! So old and so proud of your accomplishments KUDOS!!
beautiful and intelligent, wow, u gonna make other kids cry
A definate night mate for her classmates.
Perfect channel for me thank you for sharing these gems with us ❤️
Hey Anastasia! I heard bout quantum physics in Avengers:Endgame and was so hyped to learn it ... and I did learn the basics and now I'm in the last year of my schooling in India and I want to do AI and Quantum computing ... Is this a good combination for doing research ?
Super Cool and inspirational!! The best channel I've found about quantum computing and so on...
didn't expect this wil be a quantum related topic
Oh wow, few things in common.
First Robotics & quantum business
Always great to hear other's stories.
i’m fascinated with quantum computing mostly due to the future of molecular simulations
Yes I studied astronautics engineering, but to really really understand physics I did my bike test and got a fast motorbike. First day I had it, I accidentally rotated the throttle more than I should have and wheelie'd down the slip way onto the motorway (highway for you yanks). Designing an inertial anti G drive now so I must have learnt something, can't understand physics if you just live in books.
You are impossibly possible. So much inspiration. Much Love
Wow! You have such an inspirational story. Thoroughly enjoyed your story. Keep up the good work. ✌
I’m a software/data architect consultant, I also have a mechanical engineering degree.
I am very interested in the field of quantum computing.
Any suggestions on getting started would be appreciated .
Inspiring, I'm a physics too :-) . I dropped out of my PhD after I was not able to work/find a lab to finish my work after my funds dried up, thinking about next step too although I'm 37, now need a job though, will see.
@@Anastasia-Marchenkova I'm thinking I need to learn code or maybe get into science communication so maybe RUclips but it takes time. I need to learn a lot more software though to get into data science. Maybe later I can give it another try. How much time do you give to all the different avenues you are working on?
Hey, hope you are doing good now. Leaving a phd in mid a courageous step… i am happy to see people who got clarity to take decisions for themselves instead of just blindly following the league.❤
Привет, Anastasia - I feel that you're my *"long-lost twin"!* My own academic path has been very non-linear, to put it mildly... and roamed across math, cs, machine learning, molecular biology... with a longstanding deep love of physics - not pursued professionally, notwithstanding a job at Lawrence Berkeley Lab when I was in grad school - but always there...
With great effort, I've been _resisting the temptation_ to jump into quantum computing, never mind 2 job applications to Rigetti, to focus on my other research areas (in Knowledge Representation, in "ML meets neurocomputing", and in quantitative modeling of biological systems)...
But I'm currently taking a stroll thru what may be the best book ever on Mathematical Physics (Peter Szekeres), in anticipation of taking my foot off the brake for quantum computing!
And, likewise, I interrupted graduate school, and I started a company at one point, haha Lately, I've been mostly working in Pharma, and more specifically in the Healthy Longevity field.
A lot of good wisdom in the advice you dispense in your video!
I love Russian, btw, and it's next on my to-study list... for now focusing on German, while trying to keep up my French and Brazilian Portuguese. *Yes, I'm crazy... we're both crazy* :)
I best describe myself as a "POLYMATH" - a description that seems to match you, too, to a T... I use that term in my blog: JuliansPolymathExplorations.blogspot.com/p/blog-contents.html
You are wiser than the best of us...
Awesome 👍, I'm from India.
