Synopsis: 2028. Han Kyung-Jun, a genius physicist cracked the secrets of the Quantum Light-Based Computer. Yet, betrayed by his wife and research advisor, his research was stolen and his life lost.

2008. 20 years back in time, the genius physicist is now a middle school student. With all his efforts, he will raise the world of the 21st Century to the Quantum Era.

NOTE: Author has a PHD in Physics and writes the novel for his science nerd kin - but he put effort in his writing to make it easier reading for laypersons. Still, this novel's  translation will be hell for anyone not well-versed in reading research papers.

And yeah, system and harem are really tags for this novel, no joking.

Spoiler

MC puts more heart into the emails exchanged with Stephen Hawking compared to his GFs though, so be warned.

Sounds really different from other novels.

Yeah. You can compare it to Past Life Returner, with MC's past life as a Wall-Street wolf, giving him vital future knowledge steeped in RL economics and shaping his ruthless personality. This MC has backstory in science (not economics).

 

Difference: this one has MC being a quantum physicist from the future - that's all his backstory. This one DOESN'T have Gates, Apocalypse and Civilizational Collapse though - so MC isn't a cold-blooded murderer who NEEDS to dominate the modern era to save it. He doesn't even like killing people, really.

 

MC is heavily pro-US, pro-democracy, anti-communism & anti-China tho. So this will be controversial AF but might print money if you consider the userbase.

Quantum physics!?

I'm putting this on my reading list.

Unrelated but your name reminded me of the second CN novel I finished reading xD Stellar Transformations.

Update after completing MTL - OK, this novel is verrryyy specialz.

Classic JP fantasy - change back time and resolve all ur regrets

Non-Wuxia CN fantasy - Lots of faceslapping, demolishing arrogant enemies who piss you off, good storytelling and climax, high understanding of Chinese politics

Not bad KR fantasy - modern world, might makes right modernized, everyone is a asshole but MC is king of assholes

Avante-Garde Physicist fantasy - Modern world, effort can lead you anywhere, study STEM and god will do you good, study Physics and you can live a life without regrets, and study Quantum Optics Light Based Commercialized Quantum Computer Physics specifically (don't remember the exact definition but it is IMPORTANT) and you can regress and resolve all regrets if there were any!

Most novels with inspirational themes that are weak-to-strong are usually Idol, Hunter, Actor blah blah. There is one novel TLed here that has med-student MC with a cheat about Genetics, this one is for Physics students (the stream I've noted in particular, but physics loving non-math nerd students in general). You can do anything as long as you try, there are some anime (JP LNs) that are inspirational, there is Three Body problem hype on Netflix right now and there is THIS novel for KR.

Main quest is resolving the fucking CCP who have been scheming for 40 years to seize the Quantum Era. It takes LOOONG. Super long. MC does it tho, Communism is dismantled for GREATER GOOD (Capitalist).
