of quantum physics. One example: lasers, a 13 and a half billion dollar industry in The US with innumerable applications. Computer chips, Moore's law, with three and even two nanometers per pixel now, we have the equivalent of half a billion transist

...could be other breakthroughs in physics that don't solve this. Yeah. We could discover dark matter, dark energy. We could discover extra spatial dimensions. We could discover that those three things are linked, that there's, like, a dark sector to th

...in physics up until kind of the, you know, Einstein, John von Neumann, era. And then since then, like, it's pretty startling how little progress we've made. I would just say, you know, many of the ideas that have come since then don't seem to work. A

Yes. It does some oh, there's some overlap between the two, classical and quantum, and some of the same problems that we've tried to do with classical that we now wanna do with quantum, but it is actually a whole new frontier. It sort of breaks my br

...What is the nature of light? And why are atoms stable? And you could say, well, as long as we know how to make light bulbs, and as long as the floor doesn't collapse underneath me, who cares what light really is and why atoms are stable? You don't ne

all all these different experiments, ideas. And many, many people contributed this. I mean, it's very interesting. And I think just this broad question or observation that sometimes inquisitive minds leads to research that leads to some set of discov

or at least, you know, early signs that that that those things are happening. We live in an age of miracles. I once heard somebody describe quantum computing in a way that really finally made it clear to me. They said quantum computing is not just ab

It's hard for you and I to imagine as we live sort of in a bubble, but I see it when I travel. With this advancement, we have escaped Moore's Law in terms of our speed of progression. Is Moore's Law ever escapable? Of course. And, like, you know, I t

At the moment, we can reach something like 10 to the minus three, error error rates. The next milestone for the industry would be 10 to the minus six 10 to the minus six and then 10 to the minus nine and twelve. So that's the reduction in errors that
