Technically their lab is still in "lockdown", so meeting somewhere else.

Offtopic: Cool. Maybe you can get a good, clear answer on how quantum computing is supposed to work. A good question would be: how to calculate 1+1 on a quantum computer. That is still unclear to me but I'll admit I did not dive very deep into quantum computing yet.

In Europe, Netflix has slashed video bitrates to around 1/3rd of what they were to keep up with the added demand.
Makes some 1080p content look really pretty poor.

1080p from "other sources" is still good  :-DD

Easy - you calculate n + n, then disregard all the results for which n!=1  :-DD

Conventional math will be likely left with conventional computers. Quantum deals with probabilities. You'd probably (no pun intended) don't want to receive an answer in a form of bunch of variants along with probability numbers for each one for being a correct result.  ::)
