Seth Lloyd - Quantum Mechanics Experiments

Quantum theory has been the most powerful explanation of how the world, down deep, really works. But quantum theory is weird: things in two states or places at the same time, probabilities not actualities of events, entanglement over vast distances. How do precise, repeatable experiments support such counterintuitive concepts?

    The folks working on practical experimentation in quantum mechanics and the theorists are wildly important as is their work and desire to understand at both the complex levels wnd the simple ones. If you cannot explain it like this conversation, you still don't get it. Vastly complex and simple at the same time. Very cool convo.

    Seth is looking better here. He is using better examples and being more coherent to everyday people. In the past he's gone to la la land and you couldn't follow or make sense of his bad examples and incoherent talk. When you work with QM all day I imagine you see the world in a different way, but you have to make sense of it all and learn to communicate it in a coherent and rational way for people to follow. He has gotten much better at this and I hope he continues to work on this and communicate this type of stuff better to you and I more as I enjoyed listening to this version of Seth.

    The practical everyday effect of quantum computing mostly relates to reducing computation time in specific circumstances. Quantum bits can hold more than 0 and 1, which means they can calculate many many more avenues at once in the same calculation whereas a regular computer has to calculate each permutation at a time.

    Hi,Mark listen, I am telling you quantum computer is just some device will be great to have but the fact is still a device like so much of it. See this like that it is a tool as a hammer, a tape measure. Look what james web show right now, THIS is a great time to be arrond trust me. I AM telling you some predictions, ok.I say the world will finally start figure what is time, I also predicate that when james web pretended to look in the pass is not possible because the only thing the pass can do something great for us,the pass leave marks sometimes VOLONTARY sometimes not ,like the drawing of MAMOUTH or entilope on a cavern wall or some one dead by a bow frozen till 155 000 YEARS. Its marks are data information that is it. The pass not possible traveling into pass. The PRESENT is always the PRESENT TIME. YOU BORN IN PRESENT TIME and you die in PRESENT TIME. The future is but need to be discovered its not a good picture of future right now but as a VERY good future always need to be flexible and malleable, the PRESENT cause does have effects on malleable future. THIS why need lots of flexibility because if not IT WILL fracture and from the point of fracture a rips will be. Ok.I stop hope you don't think I need psychiatric help ,LOL FROM JESUS

    The concept of running information in circles against each other while held within magnetic fields is actually very old though never understood, certainly not in this context or level of knowing the how's and why's. What if we could slice and layer the ones and zeroes within this environment? Would that not be an un-estimatable increase in processing power? Has this been thought of? Section, slice and layer in a nearly undetectable manner except within the system, might be an interesting thought experiment, no?

    I wish Robert had asked Seth if the labs that develope quantum computers worry about the consciousness of the lab personnel in the room to collapse the quantum state. And if the answer is no, which is likely the case will once and for all put end to the myth that consciousness is REQUIRED to collapse the quantum state. A macroscopic, conscious entity can collapse a quantum state not because it is conscious but because it is macroscopic.

    X-Files Quantum Experiments Ever notice that beings who speak in the language of music endure the test of time by creating joy that energizes thousands of beings to celebrate and dance? Ever notice that corpses who speak with brain numbing, soul sucking numbers endure the test of time by doing the exact opposite? Sanction, starve, torture, murder and bomb (wheeeéeee)! Ignorance (hate) is bliss for vampires (greed). But not much fun for the humans who they are sucking the joy out of. The hostile alien vampires (greed) are inhumane because they are not human. The capitalist counting corpses commit crimes against humanity because they are not human. Vampires (greed) who suck the joy out of life have joined the zombies who eat the futures of their children.

    Existance in itself is sufficient evidence to propose supernatural information as the basis for rational reality. We have a universe that is not hypothetical, its not a mathematical possibility. At some point information gave rise to manifested reality, this necessitates a non reductionist non materialist understanding of information. This leads to a source of “being” that is qualitatively information capable, a mind based universe if you will. A supernatural (spirit) that has mental capacity and is the source of being through an input of information that is evidenced by the existence of this universe. This is the basic definition of the Christian God who is said to be the “word” (this information input) and “Yahweh” (the great I am, the source of being). Theology doesn’t equal folk religion tho so be careful not to underestimate its claims.
