I do want to say that in the area of recruiting students and exciting students about this field, it's just not that difficult. I must say that we have some advantage over some other fields in the fact that quantum mechanics is so intrinsically interesting that I find the spectrum of students who are interested in this area varies from those who want to change the world, which this can do, to those who just find quantum mechanics interesting. Because you have that full spectrum of applied to extremely basic, I find this is an area in which it's really not that hard to excite students.
It's extremely important that we do excite students to go into this area, and it is important that we collaborate together as institutions to make sure that these people stay, as has been discussed many times. It's particularly important to reach people outside of the students who are already interested.
I made the point during my speech that some of the shorter-term applications, like sensing, are a lot easier to explain than NP-hard problems. I have watched all of these meetings and it is taking a lot of meetings to convey that quantum cryptography has to be the future of security. I do think there tends to be a longer-term perspective taken whenever somebody is trying to solve quantum computing, but if you can very easily solve quantum sensing, this is an area on which people should focus in terms of trying to excite people about this area.
