#1 Caspian arrived late to the tea party, and was greeted by Audrey, who had a discovery to make about time and quantum physics. She explained that her brother was developing a superior version of the fly that could extract energy from a certain type of light.

#2 I’m a theoretical physicist who works at the intersection of quantum physics, information processing, and thermodynamics. I intersect the futuristic technology of quantum computers with the Victorian setting of thermodynamics, after the fashion of steampunk.

#3 The field of thermodynamics is the oldest, and it studies systems that can be manipulated and observed. It studies steam, metal, water, and the like. Classical systems behave in a manner that can be predicted using physics codified before the 1920s.

#4 The promise of quantum technologies is that they will be able to solve certain problems that would take classical computers many years. They could break part of the encryption that protects web transactions from hackers.
