“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 some weird lemonade from this?”
About This Quote

![“[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/quotes/img-quotes/976/seth-lloyd-13748_bits_with-quantum-computers-you-can-calculate_133222.jpg)
