And people have, you know, have ideas they want to run.

But because these qubits are not perfect, okay, it's an analog control system.

And fundamentally, these quantum bits have a little bit of error to it, little bit of noise to it.

You can only run so complicated of a project.

And it's good enough to write scientific papers and try things out.

Every once in a while, people say they've done something, you know, that's hard to compute.

And, well, that's fine.

But they aren't really big enough to be useful yet.

They have to get bigger and they have to get better.

Less noise.

Yeah, there's more hype than reality and it's hard.

I used to not want to speculate that.

But since I started a company, then I can do that.

And what we want to do, and it's a timeline of many other groups.

is to do something in, let's say, in the next 8, 10 years, something like that.

But the problem is, you know, people are predicting 10 years, you know, for a while now.

So, okay, we have to do that.

But I can tell you for what we're doing is that we've identified what are kind of the technology bottlenecks of the current fabric, current ways to make a quantum computer.

We've written some papers on it.

And, you know, we're working with people in the semiconductor industry to manufacture this in a much more cost effective quality way.
