the system to accomplish a task, whatever that task may be. And that's a very sort of universal meta framework for how to program physics-based computers.

I think working across disciplinary boundaries is always a challenge, and you have to be extremely patient in teaching one another. I learned a lot of software engineering through the process. My colleagues learned a lot of quantum physics, and some learned machine learning through the process of building this system.

If you get some smart people that are passionate and trust each other in a room and you have a small team and you teach each other your specialties, suddenly you're kind of forming this sort of model soup of expertise and something special comes out of that, right? It's like combining genes, but for... your knowledge bases and sometimes special products come out of that.

And so I think like, even though it's very high friction initially to work in an interdisciplinary team, I think the product at the end of the day is worth it. And so learned a lot trying to bridge the gap there. And I mean, it's still a challenge to this day.

You know, we hire folks that have an AI background, folks that have a pure physics background, and somehow we have to make them talk to one another, right?

Yeah, it's really hard to pinpoint that je ne sais quoi, right?

Yeah, I'm actually French-Canadian. Oh, you are legitimately French-Canadian. I thought you were just doing that for the cred. No, no, I'm truly French-Canadian from Montreal. But yeah, essentially we look for people with very high fluid intelligence that aren't over-specialized because they're going to have to get out of their comfort zone.

They're going to have to incorporate concepts that they've never seen before and very quickly get comfortable with them, right? Or learn to work in a team. And so that's sort of what we look for when we hire. We can't hire people that are just like, you know, optimizing this subsystem for the past three or four years.
