Story behind the cover
The cover of Quantum Nation, is designed by Chittaranjan Nath from Prabisha Consulting Pvt. Ltd., and inspired by the boundless creativity of my family.
The idea for the cover was first suggested by one of my pre-teen daughters, and it quickly became a shared project filled with imagination and heart. This cover is more than just a visual—it's a celebration of their support and spirit.
My other daughter hand-sketched a quantum computer, drawing inspiration from images she had seen. Chittaranjan Nath skillfully brought her vision to life, refining the sketch and infusing it with a golden glow, reminiscent of a chandelier illuminating a quantum processor—symbolic of the brilliance at the heart of this revolution.
The back cover blurb takes inspiration from my nephews, who introduced me to the world of Star Wars. Styled like the legendary opening crawl, it brings an epic, adventurous tone to the narrative—framing quantum computing as a heroic journey into the future.
