All right, strap yourselves in because we're diving deep today.
Deep, deep.
Into the world of quantum teleportation.
Oh yeah.
Oh.
That's the good stuff.
You've been-
That's what we're here for.
Exploring quantum computing and all that jazz.
Absolutely.
And today-
It's wild.
We're gonna break down some fascinating new developments.
Oh?
So, we're looking at a video-
Right.
That explains some recent breakthroughs-
Right.
By scientists at Oxford University.
Oxford, I love those guys.
And trust me, this is not just some dusty old research paper.
No.
This is some juicy stuff.
Could change the world.
Yeah, it really could.
As we know it.
Potentially change the world as we know it.
Yeah, and what's really exciting here-
Yeah.
Is that the Oxford team-
These guys are rock stars.
Has achieved something truly groundbreaking.
Okay.
In the field of quantum teleportation.
All right, so we gotta back up for a sec.
For people who are like, quantum teleportation.
Yeah, what is that?
That sounds like Star Trek.
Right, exactly.
Be me up, Scotty.
So, to understand why this is such a big deal-
Yeah.
We need to start with the basics.
Okay, right.
What is-
Is it?
Quantum teleportation.
Yeah.
Pretty glad you asked.
Forget about Star Trek.
Forget it.
It's not about beaming objects.
No, it's not about that.
Okay.
It's about transferring information.
Okay, so we're not talking about
teleporting physical objects,
but information.
But the information.
How does that even work?
How does that work?
I mean, like-
Well, let me tell you.
Yeah.
It all comes down to this mind-boggling concept.
Okay.
Called entanglement.
I've heard of this.
Yeah, you probably have.
Entanglement.
It's one of those things it's like so weird.
It's hard to wrap your head around.
It's like-
It really is.
So imagine-
Yeah, I-
Two particles.
Okay.
Link together.
Uh-huh.
In such a way that they're essentially-
Okay.
Two parts of the same hole.
Oh.
No matter how far apart they are.
So they could be-
They could be on opposite ends of the universe.
On opposite ends of the universe.
And still-
And still be linked.
Be linked.
Wow.
You change one.
Okay.
The other changes instantly.
So if I change-
An imperfect thing-
One particle over here.
Yeah.
The other one on the other side of the universe.
Yeah.
Changes at the same time.
At the exact same time.
It is wild.
It's like they're communicating faster-
Then then.
Than the speed of light.
The speed of light.
Which as you can imagine-
Yeah.
Has really thrown a wrench into our understanding of physics.
Yeah.
I can only imagine-
Because one of the fundamental tenets of physics is that
nothing can travel faster than light.
Right.
But entanglement.
Yeah.
Seems to be doing just that.
So it's like having two coins-
Okay.
That always flip to the same side.
Okay.
I like-
Even if they're miles apart.
That's a good analogy.
Yeah.
That's wild.
Yeah.
It's really wild.
Well how does this-
How are you?
Connect to what the Oxford scientists actually did.
Good question.
Because we're talking about teleportation.
Right.
And we're talking about entanglement.
Yeah.
Two particles.
Okay.
So how do those two things connect?
So here's where it gets really interesting.
Okay.
In the past.
Okay.
Scientists have been able to teleport single quantum states.
Okay.
Which is kind of like teleporting a single bit of data.
Like a one or a zero.
Exactly.
Like a one or a zero.
Got it.
But the Oxford team-
Okay.
Went a step further.
Oh.
They successfully teleported-
Okay.
A logical quantum gate.
Yeah.
Now I'm not a physicist.
So break that down for me.
No problem.
What is a-
So think of gates.
A logical quantum gate.
Like the building blocks of quantum algorithms.
Okay.
The instructions that telequantum computer what to do.
Okay.
So instead of teleport-
Instead of just teleporting-
A single bit.
A single bit of information.
You teleported-
They essentially teleported an entire operation.
Oh.
Yeah.
So it's like they teleported a whole line of code.
Yeah.
Whole chunk of code.
Instead of just-
They're just one letter.
One letter.
Right.
Wow.
That's pretty impressive.
That's very impressive.
Yeah.
And the truly groundbreaking part-
Is that they achieved this teleportation-
Uh-huh.
Between two separate quantum processors.
Okay.
So they had two separate-
Two separate quantum computers.
Monome computers.
Yeah.
Okay.
And they teleported this gate from one to the other.
Okay.
They essentially created a way-
For these processors to interact and perform operations together.
Uh-huh.
As if they were physically connected.
Yeah.
But without any wires or cables.
So they used quantum teleportation to create-
They did.
A sort of wireless connection.
A wireless quantum connection.
Between two quantum computers.
That's exactly right.
What?
Yeah.
That's incredible.
It's pretty mind-blowing.
What are the implications of that?
Well, for one thing-
It could help us solve one of the biggest challenges facing quantum computing.
Okay.
Which is-
The scalability.
Scalability.
Yeah.
Meaning making these things bigger.
Making quantum computers bigger.
Yeah.
Okay.
Because current quantum computers are limited in size.
Okay.
Because the more quibits you pack together-
Right.
The more likely they are to experience errors.
Because they get all-
It's like trying to build a house of cards.
Wonky.
On a vibrating table.
Oh, that's a good-
It's really hard to do.
Analogy, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
So they're really fragile.
They're super fragile.
Yeah.
So are you saying that this teleportation breakthrough-
I am saying.
Could allow us to build much larger-
Much larger.
And more powerful quantum computers.
By linking smaller ones together.
Yeah.
Oh, that's amazing.
So instead of trying to build one giant-
Yeah.
Super fragile quantum computer-
Yeah.
You can build lots of little ones-
Uh-huh.
That are more stable.
And then connect them together.
Using teleportation.
Yeah.
That's incredible.
It's like building a supercomputer out of interconnected module.
Oh, wow.
Each one operating with higher fidelity.
Yeah.
Because it's smaller and more stable.
So this opens up-
And that.
A whole new world of possibilities.
Opens up a whole new world of possibilities.
Yeah.
For what we can do with quantum computing.
This is starting to sound like something
straight out of a science fiction movie.
I know, right?
Yeah.
It's amazing how much science fiction is becoming science fact these days.
It really is.
It's an exciting time to be alive.
So how does this all connect to things like a quantum internet?
Oh, okay.
So revolutionizing industries.
Right.
So if we can link quantum processors together wirelessly-
Uh-huh.
We can start to imagine a future.
Okay.
Where quantum computers are networked on a global scale.
Okay.
Like the internet, but-
Like the internet.
But-
Quantum.
But quantum.
And that's where the idea of a quantum internet comes in.
A quantum internet.
Yeah.
That's pretty crazy to think about.
It is pretty crazy.
Yeah.
Imagine a network.
Okay.
Where information is transmitted.
Okay.
Not as bits.
Uh-huh.
But as quibbets.
Yeah.
Using the principles of entanglement.
Which we talked about earlier.
Right.
And because of the nature of entanglement.
Yeah.
It would be fundamentally more secure.
What do you mean?
Because any attempt to eavesdrop on the transmission.
Okay.
Would instantly alter the quantum state.
Like if someone's listening in.
Yeah.
If someone's trying to snoop.
They disrupt it.
And you know.
And both the sender and the receiver would know.
Oh wow.
So it's like having a conversation.
Yeah.
Where no one could listen in without you immediately knowing.
Exactly.
That's incredible.
It's like having a conversation that's protected by the laws of physics.
Wow.
But how would a quantum internet actually change things in the real world?
Okay.
Well think about it.
All right.
Every industry-
Yeah.
relies on information in some way.
Right.
A quantum internet.
Okay.
Could revolutionize everything.
Okay.
From finance and healthcare.
To material science.
Oh wow.
And artificial intelligence.
So it could change everything.
It could change everything.
Pretty much.
Yeah.
Pretty much.
Wow.
Take drug discovery for example.
Okay.
Imagine being able to simulate the interactions of complex molecules.
Okay.
With incredible precision.
Oh that's pretty cool.
This could lead to the development of new drugs.
Oh.
And therapies.
That's amazing.
For diseases that are currently incurable.
So we could be talking about a world.
We could.
With faster cures.
Faster cures.
Better treatments.
And maybe even longer lifespans.
Potentially.
Yeah.
That's amazing.
It's really exciting.
And that's just.
And that's just one example.
One example.
Right.
A quantum internet could also revolutionize communication.
Okay.
Making it virtually unhackable.
Right.
We talked about that.
Think about the implications for governments.
Financial institutions.
And even individual privacy.
Like what would that even look like?
I mean.
It's hard to say for sure.
Yeah.
But it would be a completely different world.
Yeah.
Than the one we live in today.
Yeah.
No kidding.
Where our data is constantly being collected and monitored.
Yeah.
Yeah. A quantum internet could give us back control.
Over our own information.
Wow.
This is all incredibly exciting.
It is.
But I'm curious.
What are some of the biggest challenges?
Oh, there are definitely challenges.
That stand in the way.
Yeah.
Of making this quantum future a reality.
One of the biggest hurdles.
Yeah.
Is maintaining quantum coherence.
Quantum coherence.
Okay.
Yeah.
Remember how we talked about quibits?
Yeah.
The building blocks of quantum information.
Yeah.
Yeah. They're extremely fragile.
Oh, right.
Like the house of cards.
Exactly. Like the house of cards.
Yeah.
And they're susceptible to interference from their environment.
So anything can.
Even the slightest disturbance.
So what's the matter?
Can cause them to lose their quantum properties.
Okay.
Which leads to errors in calculations.
So it's kind of like trying to keep a soap bubble from bursting.
Yeah. That's a good analogy.
Yeah.
It's really delicate.
So it's like we've got this amazing potential.
We do.
But it's really hard.
It's really hard to control.
To actually harness it.
Yeah.
Because it's so delicate.
Yeah.
So what are we doing about that?
Well, scientists are working on it.
Okay.
They're trying to find ways to make quibits more robust.
Okay.
And develop better error correction techniques.
Okay.
To protect them from environmental noise.
So like shielding them?
Yeah. Shielding them.
From outside interference.
Finding ways to correct for errors.
Yeah.
That inevitably creep in.
Okay.
It's a tough problem.
But people are working on it.
Okay.
And then there's the challenge of scaling up.
Right. Because the Oxford team.
The Oxford team only teleported a gate.
Only teleported a gate.
Between a few processors.
A few processors.
Yeah.
But to build.
To build a truly powerful quantum computer.
Right.
Or a quantum internet.
Yeah.
We need to be able to reliably teleport information.
Across much larger distances.
So it sounds like there's still.
There's still a lot of work to be done.
A lot of work to be done.
Yeah.
But is there reason.
Oh absolutely.
It's more like.
Optimistic.
There's tons of reason to be optimistic.
And about the future of quantum technology.
Yeah. I mean this Oxford research.
Yeah.
Is just one piece of a much larger puzzle.
Oh really.
Researchers around the world.
Okay.
Are making incredible strides in quantum computing.
So it's not just.
Global effort.
Oxford it's.
Yeah. It's a global effort.
Everybody.
People are working on this all over the world.
That's pretty cool.
Yeah.
Yeah. From developing new types of quivits.
Uh huh.
To exploring different approaches to quantum communication.
Okay.
It's a really exciting time to be in this field.
Yeah. It sounds like it.
There's so much happening.
So we've covered a lot of ground.
We have.
In this first part of our deep dive.
Yeah we have.
We've talked about quantum teleportation.
Right.
The groundbreaking research at Oxford.
Those guys are amazing.
And the potential of a quantum internet.
Mind blowing.
To transform industries and change the world as we know it.
It really is.
We've also touched on some of the challenges.
Right.
That lie ahead.
Yeah.
Like maintaining quantum coherence.
That's a big one.
And scaling up this technology.
Yeah. That's another big one.
But before we move on.
That's great.
I want to make sure I'm understanding.
Okay.
The key takeaway here.
All right.
Is it that this Oxford breakthrough.
Yeah.
Is a significant step.
It is.
Towards making large scale.
Large scale.
Practical quantum computing.
A reality.
I got it.
That's exactly it.
And that's why.
And that's why this research is causing such a stir.
In the scientific community.
People are freaking out.
It's a major leap forward.
Yeah.
With the potential to unlock a whole new era.
A whole new era.
Of technological advancement.
It's really exciting.
Okay.
Yeah.
So we've laid the groundwork.
We have.
We've got the basics down.
The basics are there.
Now in the next part of our deep dive.
Yeah.
I'm really curious.
I am too.
To explore some of the more philosophical questions.
The philosophical questions are the best.
Raised by this research.
Yeah.
Quantum technology has the potential.
Right.
Change the world so dramatically.
Which it does.
What are the implications.
Yeah.
What does it mean for us.
For society.
Ethics.
And even our understanding of reality itself.
That's the big one.
Right.
It really is.
That's the one that keeps me up at night.
Yeah.
Because.
It challenges everything.
It challenges everything we thought we knew.
Yeah.
About the world.
We'll dive into those questions and more.
I can't wait.
In the next part of our deep dive.
Let's do it.
Stay tuned.
All right.
Welcome back.
So before we shift gears.
Yeah.
To the more philosophical.
Right.
Implications of a quantum future.
Yeah.
I do want to take a moment to recap.
Sure.
What we've learned so far.
Okay.
About this Oxford team's groundbreaking research.
Okay.
Because all this talk about.
It's just a lot to take in.
Building a quantum internet.
Yeah.
And revolutionizing industries.
Yeah.
It's pretty mind blowing.
Is incredibly exciting.
Yeah.
But I also have to admit.
What's that.
That part of me.
Okay.
Is a little uneasy.
Yeah.
I mean.
We've all seen those sci-fi movies.
Right.
Where technology.
Gets out of control.
Yeah.
And you know.
It's a common team.
It makes you wonder.
Yeah.
What are some of the potential downsides.
Sure.
Or challenges we might face.
Yeah.
That's a really important point to consider.
As we enter this quantum era.
Any new technology.
Yeah.
Especially one as powerful as quantum computing.
Right.
Comes with potential risks.
Okay.
As well as benefits.
So what are we talking about here.
Well.
One concern is that bad actors.
Right.
Could use this technology.
For malicious purposes.
So we're talking about.
Yeah.
We're talking about.
Like breaking encryption.
Breaking encryption.
Disrupting critical infrastructure.
Disrupting power grids.
Oh wow.
Communications networks.
Yeah.
Financial systems.
Developing new kinds of weapons.
Potentially.
Yeah.
Oh that's scary.
I mean it's something we need to be prepared for.
Yeah.
We need to start thinking now.
Okay.
About the ethical implications.
Of quantum computing.
Yeah.
And develop safeguards.
To make sure.
Okay.
That this technology.
Yeah.
Is used responsibly.
Well that's a call order.
It is a tall order.
I mean how do you even begin to.
It's safeguards.
That's going to require a lot of collaboration.
Okay.
Between scientists.
Uh-huh.
Policy makers.
Okay.
Ethicists.
So like a global effort.
Yeah.
Pretty much.
To make sure.
We need to have open and honest conversations.
Yeah.
About the potential impact.
Okay.
Of quantum computing on society.
Yeah.
And make sure we're steering its development.
In the right direction.
In a direction that benefits all of humanity.
That seems like.
A big challenge.
A constant theme.
It is.
Throughout history.
Yeah.
Right.
We invent these incredible tools.
Uh-huh.
But then we have to grapple with the unintended consequences.
Right.
It's like we're always playing catch up.
We create the thing and then we're like oh.
Yeah.
Wait a minute.
We didn't think about that.
You didn't think about the ethical side of things.
It's true.
But with quantum technology.
Yeah.
We have an opportunity to be more proactive.
Really.
Yeah.
How so.
We can learn from past mistakes.
Okay.
And work to build ethical considerations.
Into the technology itself.
Into the very fabric of this new technology.
Okay.
So instead of as an afterthought.
Exactly.
That's.
We need to bake it in.
Baked in from the beginning.
From the very beginning.
So we need to think about things like.
We need to think about things like access.
Access.
And equity.
Equity.
Making sure that the benefits.
Okay.
Of quantum computing are shared widely.
Okay.
And not just concentrated.
In the hands of a powerful few.
Exactly.
Okay.
So assuming we can navigate.
Yeah.
These ethical challenges.
Hopefully we can.
Yeah.
It's gonna be tough.
But I think it's important.
Where do you see all of this heading.
Okay.
So.
In the next decade or two.
Want me to gaze into my quantum crystal ball.
Yeah.
What's your quantum crystal ball telling you.
Well it's hard to predict the future with certainty.
Of course.
But.
I think it's safe to say.
That we can expect to see.
Some truly.
Remarkable advancements.
In quantum technology.
Okay.
In the coming years.
Like what.
Well we'll likely see quantum computers becoming.
More powerful.
Okay.
More stable.
Right.
And more accessible.
More accessible.
To researchers and developers.
Okay.
Around the world.
So are you thinking.
I'm thinking.
Along the lines of.
Yeah.
Cloud based quantum computing platforms.
Quantum computing.
So instead of.
Instead of needing to.
Leading to.
On a massive.
Expensive quantum computer.
Right.
You could just rent.
Processing time.
Rent processing time.
On a quantum cloud.
That's right.
That would be a game changer.
It would be a huge game changer.
In terms of making this technology.
Available.
Yeah.
To more people.
And wider range of people.
Yeah.
And organizations.
Okay.
And as the technology matures.
Yeah.
We may even see.
We might even see.
Yeah.
The first.
Commercial applications.
Commercial application.
Of quantum computing.
In areas like.
What.
Trub discovery.
Okay.
Material science.
Uh huh.
Financial modeling.
So like imagine.
Imagine a world.
With quantum design drugs.
Quantum design drugs.
Ultra efficient solar panels.
And self optimizing investment portfolios.
Self optimizing investment portfolios.
That sounds pretty good.
It sounds pretty amazing to me.
Yeah.
I'm excited to see what happens.
Yeah.
So the potential is limitless.
It really is.
But.
Out of all the possibilities.
Now.
What are you.
What am I most excited about.
Personally most excited about.
Yeah.
That's a tough one.
Yeah.
There's so much to be excited about.
Yeah.
But I think.
The development of a true.
Quantum internet.
Okay.
Is incredibly intriguing to me.
A true quantum internet.
Yeah.
Now we touched on that earlier.
We did.
But let's dive a little deeper.
Yeah.
Dive a little deeper.
Imagine a network.
Where information is transmitted.
Instantly.
And securely.
Okay.
Using the principles of quantum mechanics.
That's wild.
It's pretty wild.
It could revolutionize communication.
Okay.
Enabling unhackable communication channels.
Okay.
Ultra fast data transfer.
Uh huh.
And even distributed quantum computing.
Hold on.
Yeah.
Distributed quantum computing.
What does that mean.
So that means.
That multiple quantum computers.
Uh huh.
Around the world.
Okay.
Could work together.
Uh huh.
As one giant interconnected system.
Oh wow.
To solve complex problems.
Okay.
That are currently beyond the reach.
So problems that even.
Even the most powerful supercomputers.
Our best supercomputers today.
Can't even touch.
Yeah.
Wow.
So this would unlock.
It could unlock unprecedented computational power.
Unprecedented computational power.
Allowing us to make breakthroughs.
Okay.
In fields like medicine.
Climate change.
And artificial intelligence.
So like literally.
Changing the world.
Solving humanity's biggest challenges.
Okay.
This is.
Really talking about sci-fi stuff.
I know it sounds like science fiction.
Yeah.
But it's based on real science.
Okay.
But how realistic is this.
Good question.
Are we really talking about a quantum internet.
In our lifetime.
Yeah.
I believe it's more than just a pipe dream.
Really.
We're already seeing significant progress.
Uh huh.
In teleporting quantum information.
Okay.
Over fiber optic cables.
Okay.
And between satellites.
Wow.
So the technology is advancing rapidly.
Okay.
While there are still technical hurdles to overcome.
Sure.
I think a basic quantum internet.
Uh huh.
Could become a reality.
Really.
Within the next decade or two.
Wow.
Of course.
Building a full fledged.
Right.
Global quantum internet.
Yeah.
Will require significant investment.
Okay.
And international collaboration.
That makes sense.
But the potential rewards.
Yeah.
Are enormous.
Yeah.
It's mind boggling.
It is.
To think about the possibilities.
It really is.
But it also raises a lot of questions.
It does.
If we can create.
A truly unhackable internet.
Yeah.
What does that mean.
What does that mean for privacy.
For privacy.
Right.
Could it be used.
Is used to suppress descent.
Oh wow.
Or shield illegal activities.
Yeah.
These are questions we need to think about.
And what about the impact on jobs.
Oh.
Right.
And the economy.
And economic implications are huge.
Yeah.
If quantum computers can automate.
Yeah.
Tasks that are currently done by humans.
Right.
What will happen to the workforce.
That's a big question.
That's a huge question.
Yeah.
These are all important questions.
Yeah.
That we need to grapple with.
As we move forward.
Yeah.
Technology is a tool.
Okay.
And like any tool.
It can be used for good or for evil.
That's a good way.
The development of a quantum internet.
Yeah.
With its immense potential for good.
Uh huh.
Also brings the potential for misuse.
Right.
It's our responsibility.
To make sure it's used for good.
To anticipate those potential pitfalls.
Okay.
And to build safeguards into the system.
Yeah.
From the very beginning.
So it sounds like.
It does.
We're entering uncharted territory.
We are.
And there's no roadmap.
There's no roadmap.
We're out of navigates.
Or how to navigate this.
The ethical.
The ethical and societal.
That was a title.
Implications of this technology.
It's a new frontier.
Yeah.
And we're going to have to figure it out as we go.
So before we move on to our final segment.
Okay.
I want to make sure I'm understanding the key takeaway.
Okay.
Shoot.
From this part of our conversation.
Right.
Are you saying that while the potential benefits.
Yes.
Of quantum technology.
The potential benefits are enormous.
Are enormous.
Yeah.
We also need to be mindful.
We need to be mindful of the potential risks.
The potential risks.
Yeah.
And start thinking now.
About how to mitigate those risks.
It's a great summary.
It's about finding the right balance.
Okay.
Between fostering innovation.
Yeah.
And protecting our values.
Fostering innovation and protecting our values.
That's the key.
All right.
So we've talked about.
We have.
The technical breakthroughs.
We've talked about the breakers.
The potential benefit.
The potential benefits.
And the ethical challenges.
Yeah.
And the ethical challenges.
Now in our final segment.
Okay.
I want to dive into some of the even more.
Mind bending implications.
All right.
Let's get really philosophical.
Of a quantum future.
Okay.
If quantum mechanics.
Challenges our understanding of reality.
Which it does.
At a fundamental level.
What does that mean?
For our understanding of consciousness.
Consciousness.
Free will.
And the nature of the universe itself.
A big question.
Welcome back to the deep dive.
We're in the deep end now.
We're in the deep end.
Yeah.
We've been exploring.
The deepest part of the pool.
This incredible world of quantum teleportation.
It's a wild world down here.
And now.
Yeah.
We're going to take things even further.
Okay.
We've talked about the technology.
The nuts and bolts.
The potential benefits.
The amazing possibility.
The ethical consideration.
Yes, the questions.
But now I want to get into some of the even bigger.
Okay.
More philosophical question.
Oh, yeah.
That this research raises.
The really juicy stuff.
All right.
So quantum mechanics.
Quantum mechanics is a trip.
It challenges our understanding of reality.
It really did.
At a fundamental level.
It's like it's turning everything we thought we knew upside down.
Okay.
So how deep does this rabbit hole go?
Well, let's start with this idea.
Okay.
Of a quantum internet being unhackable.
Right.
That was a big part of the research.
If we can really create a network where information is transmitted
in a way that's fundamentally secure.
Okay.
What does that mean for privacy?
That's a good question.
Could it lead to a world where secrets are impossible to keep?
Oh, wow.
Or one where absolute privacy is guaranteed?
So it's like two extremes.
Look, we're either completely transparent.
Yeah.
Or completely shielded.
That's like.
And it's hard to know which way it'll go.
Yeah.
Which is more dangerous.
Right.
Exactly.
That's a good question.
And it makes you wonder about the potential societal impact.
Yeah.
Like how would that change things?
Could it disrupt power structures?
Okay.
Change how we interact with each other?
Uh-huh.
Even alter our understanding of trust and identity?
That's like a whole new.
Like a whole new way of being?
Yeah.
A whole new world.
It goes even deeper than that.
Okay.
Deeper than that.
So if quantum computers can simulate the universe.
Oh, wow.
At a fundamental level.
Okay.
As some physicists believe.
Okay.
Could we eventually reach a point.
Yeah.
Where we're creating simulated realities.
Simulated realities.
Like in the matrix.
Like we're living in a simulation.
Yeah.
That's a possibility.
That's crazy.
It is crazy.
But it's also kind of cool.
It's kind of cool.
Yeah.
Would those simulated realities be any less real?
Oh, that's a good question.
In our own.
I mean, if you're experiencing it.
Right.
Does it matter?
If you can't tell the difference.
We can't tell the difference.
Does it matter if it's real or not?
That's deep.
That is deep.
So if consciousness is ultimately just information.
Okay.
As some theories suggest.
Yeah.
Could it be transferred?
Could we download our consciousness.
Or even duplicate it into a computer.
Into a computer.
Shay Rattle.
Like copy and paste.
Yeah.
Like copy and paste your soul.
Wow.
What are digital copies?
Would they be considered separate individuals?
Oh, that's a good question.
Or extensions of ourselves.
Like would they be us?
Would they have their own rights?
Or would they just be like.
Their own experiences.
Copy.
These are questions.
Yeah.
That have puzzled philosophers.
I bet.
For centuries.
Yeah.
But quantum technology.
Brings them in a whole new light.
It does.
It really does.
It forces us to reexamine our assumptions.
About.
About what it means to be human.
Yeah, okay.
What constitutes reality.
Yeah.
And what the limits of knowledge truly are.
I feel like I need to go lie down after this.
It's a lot to process.
This deep dive has really taken us on a journey.
We've gone deep.
It's gone way beyond just learning about a scientific discovery.
It's about the big picture.
It's making me question everything.
That's the point.
I thought I knew about the world.
It's about challenging our assumptions.
Yeah.
Expanding our minds.
So as we wrap up.
Okay.
This deep dive.
Look at the surface.
We're at the surface.
Yeah.
Into quantum teleportation.
It's been a wild ride.
And all its mind boggling implications.
I know, right?
Okay.
What's the one thing you hope?
What do I hope our listeners take away?
Our listeners take away from this conversation.
I hope they come away.
Yeah.
With a sense of wonder.
Wonder.
And possibility.
Possibility.
We're living in an extraordinary time.
We are.
A time of unprecedented scientific and technological advancement.
Pretty amazing.
Quantum technology in particular.
Yeah.
Has the potential to fundamentally reshape our world.
In ways we can only begin to imagine.
It's like we're on the cusp of something truly transformative.
And as we navigate this uncharted territory.
Yeah.
It's crucial to approach it.
With both curiosity.
Curiosity.
And responsibility.
Responsibility.
We need to be excited about the possibilities.
Yeah.
But also mindful of the potential risks.
We can't just blindly rush in.
No.
We need to think carefully.
Yeah.
About the choices we make.
About how this technology.
Because those choices.
Shape.
Will shape the future.
With generations to come.
Absolutely.
So to our listeners.
Yeah.
Who are now as fascinated.
I hope so.
By this topic as we are.
It's contagious isn't it.
Keep exploring.
Cheap asking questions.
And never lose your sense of wonder.
The world is full of mysteries.
The quantum realm is full of mysteries.
Waiting to be uncovered.
Who knows.
Yeah.
Maybe one of you listening.
Yeah.
Will be the one to make the next groundbreaking discovery.
That pushes the boundaries.
That changes everything.
Of human understanding even further.
It could happen.
That's an inspiring thought.
It is.
And on that note.
Of possibility.
Yeah.
Will wrap up this deep dive.
Back to the shallow end.
For now.
Into quantum teleportation.
Until next time.
Thanks for joining us.
It's been a pleasure.
On this incredible journey.
Keep exploring.
Until next time.
Stay curious.
Keep exploring the frontiers of knowledge.
