So yeah, so the quantum phase is a distinct mode.

It's a distinct mode of group behavior.

So the material might act like a metal or an insulator, right, or a superconductor, depending on how its quantum ingredients are organized, right?

But what's especially interesting here is that in this context, organization doesn't just come down to the material itself.

It's also the rhythm of the magnetic field that's driving it.

And if this can eventually be done experimentally and they can control this well enough, then

This could matter immensely for quantum technology.

So one obvious example here is that some of these magnetically driven states could make quantum computers less sensitive to environmental noise.

And that would be an absolute game changer.

That's actually one of the biggest problems, right, with these computers, keeping these delicate quantum states from just falling apart and decohering.

So that's it.

Check it out online.

Fascinating.

This has been your Quantum Phase Quickie with Bob.

Back to you, Steve.

Thanks, Bob.

Yeah, yeah.

My mom's on that.

But Steve, it was a common general belief that once you cross that threshold, you could say it's conscious in a way.

Which are all over the internet, which is its training data.
