The 3 Conferences that Changed the World" . . .
Dartmouth 1956 … Solvay 1927 … Endicott House 1981
I generally don’t like attending conferences … but how about these 3?!!!
… the resulting impact from these 3 conferences is what is driving our thinking and development most at EnviroAI—and our ongoing effort to build a quantum AI environmental protection system.
The 3 Greatest Conferences of All Time
(in no particular order)
Dartmouth 1956 (AI)
Solvay 1927 (Quantum)
Endicott House 1981 (Quantum Computing)
I wanted to especially highlight this last conference. It was entitled “The Physics of Computation Conference”. Noted attendees included Richard Feynman and John Wheeler. It was the first time a group of computer scientists and physicists met to discuss the strangely discovered potential power in the intersection of their fields—and the first time the word “quantum computing” was uttered.
—“Nature is computing.”
—“Classical computing is really just an anthropocentric version of quantum computing.”
—“The universe is not focused on how people compute. It has its own means of computing. We must learn and use nature’s means of computing—which at a more fundamental level is quantum based.”
