Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Professor Laflamme, in addition to your very impressive resumé, I understand you're also a bit of a YouTube star. I watched your YouTube video from late last year, entitled “What are the options for building a large scale quantum computer?”
At the Q and A at the end of this video, you were asked what problem you would like to solve if you were given a quantum computer tomorrow. Your answer was that you would like to focus on the nitrogen fixation problem for making fertilizer. I was wondering if you could explain to the committee what the nitrogen fixation problem is, and how quantum computers can be used to help make fertilizer.
