Spookytechnology and Society

May 21, 2008 lecture by Dr. Charles Tahan for the Stanford University Computer Systems Colloquium (EE380).

In this lecture, Dr. Charles Tahan gives a non-physics perspective on quantum information science and technology, both via some of his own scientific work, but mostly from the vantage of science and technology studies. He touches on why the new quantum revolution is for real, what "new quantum revolution" actually means, why it's more interesting than nanotechnology, and how we should prepare for it.

Truly spooky. Intellectually spooky. They are brilliant people. Nice work.

The superpostiioning and informal formaility of the presentation was very spooky. lol. I would like to submit, that at 21:12, that the Van meter thesis with regard to Shor's quatum algorithm line is not wholey incorrect but what I posit happens is that at channel of problem size(point),must fan out from there because of composition, but appears as a polynomial equation because of the perception of its coming back into this dimensional field...I hope you got with quantum girl.

important information!thanks.
