Quantum mechanic by day, musician by night
PhD student Vadiraj Ananthapadmanabha Rao has a small music studio at home. There, he creates music and records covers of his favourite songs. He especially likes to sing songs from other languages. It gives him a feel for the culture, he says, and allows him to feel immersed in something new and different. The time he spends at IQC is also dedicated to exploring something new. “The field of quantum physics is still in its early stages, and that’s what makes investigating this field so exciting. Everything is new.”
