Quantum mechanics is weird. I don't understand it. Just live with it. You don't have to understand the nature of things in order to build cool devices.

[With quantum computers] you can calculate how many bits are in the universe, how much energy it takes to flip them, how much energy exists, and use that to rule out lots of things about the universe's history. Anything that takes more bit flips couldn't have happened.

Another feature that everybody notices about the universe is that it's complex.

The amount of information that can be stored by the ultimate laptop, 10 to the 31st bits, is much higher than the 10 to the 10th bits stored on current laptops.

There are considerable advantages to using many degrees of freedom to store information, stability and controllability being perhaps the most important.

In order to figure out how to make atoms compute, you have to learn how to speak their language and to understand how they process information under normal circumstances.
