<div dir="ltr">BTW, this post reminded me to ask if anyone on list has watched the show "Devs" yet? If not, I'd highly recommend it as it's very extropian friendly and centers around a quantum computing initiative. I don't want to give away any spoilers (and would recommend not reading anything on it prior to watching). It's by Alex Garland of Ex Machina fame.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jul 6, 2020 at 6:01 PM John Clark via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default"><div class="gmail_quote" style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(80,0,80)"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font size="4">If n</font></span><font size="4">on-abelian anyons<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> exist then you could make a </span>topological quantum computer<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> which would need a lot less quantum error correction, and according to a very recent article such quasiparticles almost certainly do exist.
