The Future of Computing
Computing with atoms is really hard. We use liquid helium to bring the temperature down to near absolute zero. A quantum computer looks like a chandelier, a huge chandelier. It takes time to build these things. The Chinese are using optical computers and so they don't have to bring it all the way down to nearabsolute zero. But you see what the problem is. Now mother nature has quantum computers that compute at room temperature. If you don't believe me, go outside. See the flowers, see the leaves. They're all doing quantum mechanical calculations at Room Temperature. So we know it's possible, but right now we're still using liquid helium and different kinds of
