How to Build a Life in Quantum Without a Physics Background

In this inspiring episode of WIQC (Women in Quantum Computing), host Candace Gillhoolley sits down with Sarah Metwalli, a research associate whose journey takes us from her early days in Egypt to conducting groundbreaking work in quantum computing around the world. Discover how Sarah Metwalli carved a path into quantum research without a traditional physics background, overcame societal expectations, and became a champion for women and underrepresented communities in STEM. She candidly shares her experiences with academic hurdles, cultural challenges, and how imposter syndrome shaped her journey. You'll also hear about her current research at the Quantum Software Lab in Edinburgh, her thoughts on the future of quantum applications, and her advice for anyone curious about entering the field—even if they lack a physics degree. Key Topics: Growing up in Egypt and breaking stereotypes The reality of women in STEM across cultures Finding mentors, building confidence, and managing self-doubt Navigating a nontraditional path into quantum computing The most promising applications of quantum technology Building a more inclusive future for quantum and STEM Whether you’re interested in quantum computing, passionate about diversity in tech, or simply love stories of resilience and innovation, this conversation is for you.
