Profile
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.

Hmmmm ... that report had a wide lacuna ... namely it discussed "quantum simulation" in a single context: simulation with quantum computers.
This is needlessly narrow ... QIS/QIT has plenty to do with the parallel discipline of simulating quantum systems with classical resources.
Why was this aspect of QIS/QIT not discussed at the meeting?
Because when it comes to creating new technologies, new industries, and new jobs, there is a lively revolution going on already in QIS/QIT simulation with classical resources.
