Dave Bacon is a theoretical ski bum who is also a pseudo professor. His research is on quantum computing, his scientific passions extend to everything in physics, mathematics, computer science and beyond, and his personal pleasures include making wine, playing poker, skiing, camping, and daydreaming (although not all of those at the same time.) Nothing he says on this blog should be construed as having anything to do with his employer or his dog.

Michael sends me a link to an article with the name of the new James Bond movie: Quantum of Solace. If compassion is quantized (down that path leads madness), I really hope I'm in a region where the correspondence principle applies.

It looks like the author of the Telegraph's story ripped off Everything2 for the definition of "quantum of solace".

Sounds a distinctly un-Bond-like concept.

Of note is that Mr. Bond (Daniel Craig) in the Quantum of Solace is Mr. Heisenberg (Daniel Craig) in the TV version of Copenhagen. He appears to be a huge lover of quantum mechanics

This is slightly less surprising than Pernilla August's love of virgin births.
