“When you zap things with light to build quantum computers, you're hacking existing systems. You're hijacking the computation that's already happening in the universe, just like a hacker takes over someone else's computer.” LightUniverseComputerHappeningsQuantumHackingHackersComputationHijacking Author:Seth Lloyd
“[With quantum computers] you can calculate how many bits are in the universe, how much energy it takes to flip them, how much energy exists, and use that to rule out lots of things about the universe's history. Anything that takes more bit flips couldn't have happened.” UseUniverseEnergyBitsHappenedComputerQuantumFlip Author:Seth Lloyd
“We couldn't build quantum computers unless the universe were quantum and computing. We can build such machines because the universe is storing and processing information in the quantum realm. When we build quantum computers, we're hijacking that underlying computation in order to make it do things we want: little and/or/not calculations. We're hacking into the universe.” WantLittlesOrderUniverseInformationComputerMachinesRealmsQuantumCalculationsProcessingHackingComputingComputationHijacking Author:Seth Lloyd

“In physics, one of the most exciting areas is in nanotech. With computers exhausting the power of silicon, Silicon Valley could become a Rust Belt, unless we can find replacements, such as quantum computers and molecular computers. To be a leader in any field, one has to have a great imagination. Sure, we have to know the basics and fundamentals. But beyond that, we have to let our imagination soar.” KnowsImaginationLeaderFieldsComputerAreasExcitingFundamentalsPhysicsValleysQuantumSoarBeltsExhaustingBasicsRustSiliconReplacementsSilicon ValleyGreat Imagination Author:Michio Kaku

“By 2100, our destiny is to become like the gods we once worshipped and feared.
