You know, along with that, urea, the main component of fertilizers that are necessary for crop production around the world.

And this war that's been started has has caused all of that to become problematic.

And so there's increased interest in battery powered vehicles of a sudden.

Oh, I thought we just got rid of those in the United States and all the companies are shutting down their production EVs.

No, no, no.

Now everybody wants an EV.

Well, anyway, one of the things that will make that much more practical is very rapid charging.

So here's this peculiar situation with quantum batteries.

You've heard of quantum effects, superposition, and entanglement.

That allows these very tiny particles or waves, they're not necessarily particles, to behave very strangely.

And they could allow quantum computers to solve problems that conventional computers cannot.

And that's what we just talked about with respect to the advances in the number of or collapse of the number of qubits that are necessary to achieve even the very difficult computations to correct or decrypt encryption.

OK, so.

A strange feature of the quantum world is that there's a thing in addition to superposition and entanglement called collective effects.

And that is what gives quantum batteries a special advantage.

Under the right circumstances, the storage units of quantum batteries don't act individually.

They operate in this quantum spooky action at a distance way.

Okay.

And what that means...

they behave collectively.
