How to publish your first research paper as a high-school student

That’s a great goal — I love that you’re already thinking about research at your age. What part of quantum computing draws you in most — the physics, the algorithms, or the coding side? Have you tried reaching out to any professors or labs yet? Sometimes one good mentor changes everything. And what’s something small you’d love to figure out for yourself — even if it’s just running a simple quantum circuit or reproducing someone’s result? That’s usually where the first paper begins.
