This is one of the most widespread misconceptions about quantum mechanics. The energy-time uncertainty is NOT related to the uncertainty principle. Time is not an operator. The energy-time uncertainty does not hold on relativistic QM which is required to describe interaction with force carriers

The big difference between the quantum supremacy experiment and your pudding experiment is that the quantum supremacy experiment solved an unambiguous, well-posed mathematical problem. While people sometimes describe the computational task as âoesimulating the physical Sycamore computerâ, thatâ(TM)s not right. The actual task was calculating the output of an abstract quantum logical circuit, of which the Sycamore computer was an approximate physical instantiation. The difference is subtle but crucial. From a computational perspective, the math came first and the physics came second. Source: https://physics.stackexchange....

Submission + - Elon Musk Is Creating a City in Texas. It Will Be Called Starbase (entrepreneur.com)

schwit1 writes: If anyone has the ability to surprise the world with his ambitious projects, it is Elon Musk . The billionaire announced that he is building a new city in Texas to be called Starbase , around the rocket launch site of his company SpaceX .

Used to causing a stir by typing just a few words, Musk posted on Twitter that he is "creating the city of Starbase , Texas ."

Later, he alluded to his project to colonize the red planet, hinting that Starbase would be just the beginning to go further. "From there to Mars. And hence the Stars " , detailed the CEO of Tesla

Elon Musk shared some characteristics that his new city would have, such as that it will be friendly to dogs. He also hinted that it would be directed by "the Doge" , which can be interpreted in two ways.

On the one hand, it is a reference to the Doges, former rulers of Venice and Genoa. He could also be talking about Dogecoin , the cryptocurrency inspired by the 'Cheems' meme that Musk has long endorsed, which would be more interesting.

From the original article: "King stressed that it is still possible to design highly specialized algorithms to simulate the model once the properties of the model are already known." Clear example of we fined tuned our machine to a problem and it does it faster than a general purpose computer. Nothing quantum happening here
