Im loki: Have you made quantum systems that exhibit this fast scrambling that they hypothesize for black holes? No, not yet. So one things we had started to think about with the tool box that we're building on is what are some models that might exhibit this fast scrambled on en? We had a toy model that i'd been thinking about for a while where instead of having, lets, a nearest neighbor inter actions on a lattice, you have interactions at a a distance of one sight,. Two sihts, four sights, eight sights, any power of two. And so maybe you said this, but itt got lost. It turned out that this toy model we've

When it comes to thinking about quantum mechanics, there are levels. One level is shut-up-and-calculate: find a wave function, square it to get a probability. One level is foundational: dig deeply into the underlying ontology. But there’s a level in between, long neglected but recently coming to life. In this level you think about — or do experiments with — entangled quantum systems in the real world, putting entanglement to use. Monika Schleier-Smith is an experimental physicist specializing in cold atoms, which can be both entangled and manipulated. We discuss how to use such systems to study everything from metrology to quantum gravity.
