Here is this morning’s dream…
The dream starts with an internet Skype like call. I am speaking with an ex-student of mine. I can see him on the lap-top screen and he can see me. We are talking and there is a large amount of background noise and his image is juddering. I can see that he is flying a helicopter over some mountains. One of his friends has recently died and he would like to come visit to talk about this with me. He is on holiday with his father in the Swiss-French alps. I agree and he says that he will be here in a few days’ time.
I think it odd that he is flying a helicopter but knew that his family are very wealthy.
He turns up with his father and I invite them in. We start talking about how he buried his friend. There were not many people at the ceremony and he said that it was very strange seeing someone his own age in a coffin. He had touched the coffin after it was placed in the grave as did his friend’s mother. She had freaked out a bit and he was concerned for her. I say that death touches all of us in different ways and that before grief there can often be denial. It sounds like that is what is happening. I say that I need to go and fetch something from outside.
As I come back into the house, I note the father’s car. It is a top of the range Mercedes convertible, bespoke even. I notice on the back of it the letters QKD. In the dream they stand out for me.
I go back inside. I say to the father, “Is that one of the new Quantum Key enabled prototypes?”
“Yes, it is fully Quantum Key enabled and if I need to make secure transactions, I can do it from the car while I am en route.”
I am impressed. I heard about these but have not seen one. The implication is that the father is very wealthy indeed a special client of the banks.
The ex-student says that I should tell his father about my patent applications.
I say to the father that I have two old patents concerning EUV and one for an entangled pair photon source. I say that this device could be integrated into a Quantum Key Distribution device.
His ears prick up. He reaches into a briefcase and pulls out a piece of paper. The paper is an email. On the top is his email address together with that of one of his technical people and his lawyer.
He says to get in contact with them with more details.
His ‘phone rings and he starts to speak animatedly in French.
The dream ends and I know that it is pointing towards looking again at Quantum Key Distribution.
