Alice and Bob eloped and quit their jobs in the QC department. Their replacements are ABbie (Normal) and BArt (Simp). I was there alone the first time this news was observed.
I don’t think this is how quantum transformations work; fields cannot be used as true or false quantifiers, they are open image volumes of potential; we must use differentials, remainder & no assumptions; it is not this or that, it is a spectrum distribution of all qualifiers.
I think that adorable cat prop ought to be auctioned and with the cat comes a little authenticity card with a little thought from Quantum Physicist Maria Violaris. I would bid. :chillwcat:🌸
I'm very confused by the first part of this presentation. I'm no quantum physicist but my understanding was that all of the components in the box were in a shared superposition UNTIL an interaction collapses the wave function, not that shared superpositions only occur AFTER an interaction from an observer. Violaris says when we open the box to check the cat, we enter into its superposition. This is almost exactly the opposite of what I thought previously to this.
Few minutes in and I'm surprised she didn't even mention what a multiverse is. Surely with the tests you are going to spend all of the time testing, it's important to ensure everyone is clear about the definition of what is being tested?
PS: Based on my understanding of the multiverse, does this mean that quantum computers are right in one universe and wrong in the rest?
I always enjoy these presentations. Warm regards to Dr. Martin Rees who always comes to mind when I watch an RI video. Fascinating talk by Dr. Violoris.
Watched videos of well researched and some educated guessing (because some knowledge is closely guarded) and there is little chance another company comes in to produce rival machines to ASML. The engineering feels almost alien, that's how impressive it is.
What do you make of the five tests? Here's where to find each one:

16:31 Test 2 – The quantum bomb tester
27:14 Test 3 – Quantum teleportation
39:12 Test 4 – Google's Willow quantum chip
46:52 Test 5 – Communicating across the multiverse

Love it. Thanks for the talk
