Can we make a contribution to that?

That would be great.

Because I think building technology is cool, but helping people is much better than that.

I do think more, the most important thing is that I don't necessarily want to put a timeline on it.

I'm thinking two years ago, three years ago, I think I said five to 10.

Uh, I think five is now more realistic.

But I've seen a number of problems arising that I think we need to be aware of and take action on before that.

I mean, it's not about, I mean, we run Bracket, which is together with, you know, Caltech is an institute about quantum.

And I see different institutions making massive progress in terms of error correction, networks, things like that.

that actually make me believe that it's no longer a vision, it's an execution.

Now it becomes an iterative process in improving the technology that we have created.

step by step by step until it becomes workable.

Now, there is a ton of other problems to solve.

How do you program these beasts?

I mean, how do you do that?

How do you do with something that is not necessarily 100% reliable?

So how do you do that?

So there's a ton of things that still has to be solved before we have production quantum machinery.

But one of the things that these things, and they won't solve necessarily new problems, they'll solve existing problems much faster.

There are things that will now take a thousand years and compute will then take a year or six months or two months.
