Here is this morning’s dream.
The dream starts in the middle of a city. I am to attend a meeting on molecular quantum computing. It is partially at my behest. In the meeting are several people who I once knew around 18 years ago. We are sat roughly in a circle behind two seater tables.
I say that in its current form quantum computing is very environmentally hostile because of the energy needed to build and cool. There is a murmur of scoffing. Ian says that I am right and reels of some figures in terms of tonnage of carbon dioxide. Others concur.
I explain that here, with our hundred trees and land, we are approximately carbon neutral.
I know that the people at the meeting are humouring me and that they are highly sceptical.
I say that history shows that the machines at the early stage of any technology cycle are very different from those of the technology which emerges.
It is likely that quantum computing will become more biological. A way will be found to overcome the high energy burden. It will involve molecular qubits.

In the dream I make a note to re-read a paper by XXX.
There will be some way as yet unimagined to open up a new way of thinking, a more organic neural form of quantum computing.
The meeting disperses, sceptical.
I go outside with Ant and he points up at a huge crane, they are doing some optical fibre communication experiment on the crane. He expects be to be impressed.
I wander off towards the tube station.
Dream ends.
