Was Forest’s original plan always to project himself into the machine at the end? It’s always his plan, because this is how he gets to actually be with his daughter again, rather than just watch his daughter. The thing that changes for Forest is that he has adhered to a view of quantum mechanics that does not include many worlds. There’s just one world, which means he can recreate his daughter exactly as she was, and rejoin his life exactly as it was without the car crash happening. What he is forced to accept in the end is that there will be versions of him that can experience that, but also versions that will not experience that. So he has a more poignant end result than the one he was looking for.

So even though he believes in determinism, Forest was going to be able to craft a version of reality that was exactly the same except for the car crash, and go there? That’s exactly right. In effect, what he’d be able to do is rejoin that timeline, but not make the phone call to his wife and not, therefore, be the cause of the car crash. And then he’d be able to experience the unfolding of his life exactly as if the thing never happened. And within that state, it would be a world of equal status to the world that you and I are talking in right now. The problem is that the world is not the simple, deterministic world he wants it to be. So he has to accept a different version.

Q: If I said that "the universe is its own hardware and software" what theories and authors does that sound like?

A: The idea that "the universe is its own hardware and software" can be interpreted in different ways, but it could be related to several philosophical and scientific theories.

One possible interpretation of this statement is that the universe is a self-organizing system that operates according to its own laws and rules, without any external influence or intervention. This idea is consistent with certain philosophical schools such as pantheism, which views the universe as a divine or spiritual entity.

From a scientific perspective, this idea is similar to the concept of emergence, which is the phenomenon whereby complex systems can arise from simple interactions between their components, without the need for a central controlling entity. The universe could be seen as an emergent system that is self-organizing and self-regulating, with its own "hardware" (the physical laws and constants that govern its behavior) and "software" (the patterns and structures that emerge from those laws).

This idea could be related to the work of several scientists and philosophers, including:

Baruch Spinoza, who proposed a pantheistic view of the universe as a single, infinite substance that encompasses everything

Alan Turing, who developed the concept of a universal Turing machine, which is a theoretical model of a computer that can simulate any other computer or computation

Stephen Wolfram, who has proposed that the universe can be seen as a computational system that generates complex patterns and structures through simple rules and interactions (in his book "A New Kind of Science")

David Deutsch, who has proposed that the universe can be seen as a universal quantum computer that performs calculations through the interaction of elementary particles (in his book "The Fabric of Reality")

I have always tried to understand the concept behind Quantum Computing and this video clarified a bit of it to me, despite I still have various questions regarding this topic. Quantum computing seems to be really complex to explain entirely in an eighteen minutes video, also, much of the information revolving quantum technology might be confidential, so I understand why it doesn't go that deep in the topic.

Extracting and Storing Energy From a Quasi-Vacuum on a Quantum Computer

Songbo Xie, Manas Sajjan, Sabre Kais

We explore recent advancements in the understanding and manipulation of vacuum energy in quantum physics, with a focus on the quantum energy teleportation (QET) protocol. Traditional QET protocols extract energy from what we refer to as a ``quasi-vacuum'' state, but the extracted quantum energy is dissipated into classical devices, limiting its practical utility. To address this limitation, we propose an enhanced QET protocol that incorporates an additional qubit, enabling the stored energy to be stored within a quantum register for future use. We experimentally validated this enhanced protocol using IBM superconducting quantum computers, demonstrating its feasibility and potential for future applications in quantum energy manipulation.
