So could you give us, let's give us a little bit of background.
1:58
Absolutely.
1:58
Yes.
1:59
Again, thanks for having me.
2:00
And it's really interesting that you had the time to go off and reflect in a sabbatical and then come back and examine some of these really frontier technologies because things are changing so quickly in this world.
2:12
And to be able to stay up to date and have time to reflect on really the direction that we're headed is really important.
2:20
And that's, you know, I'll get into it, but that's part of what we do with Zapata is give leaders the context to be able to reflect and appropriately guide their actions with respect to this frontier technology, which is quantum.

So anyway, let's talk about your focus area around Sabata and give everybody a good understanding about what Sabata does and what its focus is.
4:57
How can you help us, and how soon will that be?
5:01
Yeah.
5:01
Yeah.
5:01
Look, it's interesting to be talking to you about that because, you know, I'm really, really excited about some of the, some of the direction that Quera is setting for the industry with, you know, with the Libra announcement.
5:12
You know, I think it's, you know, targeted for 2028, a mega co-op delivered via AWS.
5:17
These are things that were not around.
5:20
People were People were not saying this kind of thing five years ago.
8:27
And let's assume that I am a leader in a financial institution that's coming to you Walk me through the process and specifically, if you can, how long does each step take? When do I start and when can I see something that convinces me that this is going to work for me? And ultimately, when do you think I can move such a solution into production?
17:34
And this
17:34
was a framework that we created in conjunction with DARPA.
17:37
We actually were the only company that led all three phases of DARPA's quantum benchmarking program, which was really landmark work in quantum software.
17:46
And so the idea there is to arrive at applications which would be good for quantum.
17:54
And good for quantum means things that are Classically hard, so very difficult to solve under classical computing paradigms.
18:03
Quantum easy, so there's a reason why quantum can do it that classical can't.
18:09
And then high value, right? And so something that would have a great deal of impact on this world.

Because I did a lot in the context, you want to add some color to my comments?
