Why IS the Pentagon looking into time crystals? Darpa launches program to study (trunc)
UK Daily Mail ^

A simple illustration of the concept of driving something out of equilibrium to increase its stability is the well-known trick of making an inverted broom stand up on the palm of your hand or on one of your fingertips,’ said Ale Lukaszew, DARPA program manager.

‘If you hold your hand still, the broom is unstable and will fall over quickly. But if you drive the broom out of equilibrium by moving your hand around periodically, you can make the broom very stable, so it remains upright indefinitely.’

Particles in a quantum state are very sensitive to their environment.

With the slightest disturbance, they can lose their predictable and measurable properties, DARPA explains.

But, figuring out how to achieve quantum coherence could pave the way for ultra-precise technology, from quantum computers and sensors to atomic clocks.

"The quantum computer may be no joke."

The quantum computer is a superposition of joke and non-joke states.

To make you ask questions.

I see you have experience with tacky-ons. ;-)

Is Schroedinger’s cat telling the joke/nonjoke?

The guy sitting in the middle desk appears to be sleeping. Makes sense. In the TV show “The Time Tunnel” the time machine was run by the government.

It sounds like his objections are in turn amenable to empirical research. Are the fritzy little qubits so flaky that they can’t even be made to operate as desired?

It ought to be made an open matter of research. With something that actually looks like science. Sometimes new theorems supersede older, stodgier theorems.

Guys, I came back from the future to let you know that this was a big waste of time. It never worked, and it turns out that the big thing in the future is still plastic. It’s awesome! We even eat the stuff. It never goes bad!! Also, all the hottest people are now 94% plastic. Well, gotta go!!

You are too slow. The Chinese already pilfered this research some time back and then, to make matters worse, pilfered research DARPA has not done and made quantum computers, quantum encryption, and so on.

As you can see, the Chinese have discovered quantum pilfering ...

Now that’s just mean! You didn’t tell them that the plastics are silicon laced, with upgrades to the weak physiology of the future peoples.
