Quantum mechanics is weird. I don't understand it. Just live with it. You don't have to understand the nature of things in… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
Similarly, another famous little quantum fluctuation that programs you is the exact configuration of your DNA. — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
Yes, I am a quantum mechanic! Those darn quantum computers break all the time. — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
The history of the universe is, in effect, a huge and ongoing quantum computation. The universe is a quantum computer. — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
When you zap things with light to build quantum computers, you're hacking existing systems. You're hijacking the computation that's already happening in… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
Programmed by quanta, physics gave rise first to chemistry and then to life; programmed by mutations and recombination, life gave rise to… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
According to the standard model billions of years ago some little quantum fluctuation, perhaps a slightly lower density of matter, maybe right… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
[With quantum computers] you can calculate how many bits are in the universe, how much energy it takes to flip them, how… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
Quantum mechanics is just completely strange and counterintuitive. We can't believe that things can be here [in one place] and there [in… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
We couldn't build quantum computers unless the universe were quantum and computing. We can build such machines because the universe is storing… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
Every physical system registers information, and just by evolving in time, by doing its thing, it changes that information, transforms that information, or, if… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share
“The significance of a bit depends not just on its value but on how that value affects other bits over time, as part of… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share
[With quantum computers] you can calculate how many bits are in the universe, how much energy it takes to flip them, how much energy… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share
In this metaphor we actually have a picture of the computational universe, a metaphor which I hope to make scientifically precise as part of… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share
Yes, I am a quantum mechanic! Those darn quantum computers break all the time. — Seth Lloyd Copy Share
What's happened with society is that we have created these devices, computers, which already can register and process huge amounts of information, which is… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share
If you wanted to build the most powerful computer you could, you can't do better than including everything in the universe that's potentially available. — Seth Lloyd Copy Share
There are considerable advantages to using many degrees of freedom to store information, stability and controllability being perhaps the most important. — Seth Lloyd Copy Share
When it comes to their capacity to screw things up, computers are becoming more human every day. — Seth Lloyd Copy Share
It's also a reasonable scientific program to look at the dynamics of the standard model and to try to prove from that dynamics that… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share
Some folks think life and technology and mind can keep expanding forever. Others say it can't. We are still not clear on that. — Seth Lloyd Copy Share
Of course, one way of thinking about all of life and civilization is as being about how the world registers and processes information. Certainly… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share
Programmed by quanta, physics gave rise first to chemistry and then to life; programmed by mutations and recombination, life gave rise to Shakespeare; programmed… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share
Instead of having to be a member of the Royal Society to do science, the way you had to be in England in the… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share
![“[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.” quote by Seth Lloyd](https://sms4smile.com/q/img-quotes/976/seth-lloyd-13748_bits_with-quantum-computers-you-can-calculate_133222.jpg)
![“Quantum mechanics is just completely strange and counterintuitive. We can't believe that things can be here [in one place] and there [in another place] at the same time. And yet that's a fundamental piece of quantum mechanics. So then the question is, life is dealing us weird lemons, can we make…” quote by Seth Lloyd](https://sms4smile.com/q/img-quotes/ad7/seth-lloyd-13748_believe_quantum-mechanics-is-just-completely-str_1791974.jpg)
