“Will
Quantum Computing Disrupt Business, Society, & Mind? 3 Key Questions.” 1000
Year Business Thinking at a Whole New Level…

From “Quantum Enigma:
Physics Encounters Consciousness,” Bruce Rosenblum & Fred Kuttner,
University of California, Santa Cruz…
“Quantum theory is the
most stunningly successful theory in all of science. Not a single one of its
predictions has ever been wrong. Quantum mechanics has revolutionized our
world. One-third of our economy depends on products based on it. However, this
physics can look like mysticism. Quantum experiments display an enigma that
challenge our classical worldview. The worldview demanded by quantum theory is,
to borrow the words of J.B.S. Haldane, not only queerer than we suppose, but
queerer than we can suppose…”
With companies such as
Google & IBM currently leading the way, we are closer every month to
solving technical problems and enabling quantum computing. It can lead to new
speeds – but also new paradigms, languaging, AI and psychology. (Google Milestone - http://www.businessinsider.com/googles-quantum-computing-milestone-2015-3
- IBM showing off a Quantum Computing Chip – MIT Tech Review. http://www.technologyreview.com/news/537041/ibm-shows-off-a-quantum-computing-chip/
)
Are we looking at a new
reality…? Analogy: Societies and psychologies before science, and after; before
human space flight, and after.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Will quantum computing lead to the transformation
of human identity
as well as perceptions of human reality?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUANTUM COMPUTING =
QUANTUM PSYCHOLOGY
BUT WHO’S THE EXPERT?
Quantum Computing is
coming—but as Physics professors Rosenblum & Kuttner well describe in
non-technical terms in their excellent introductory book of 2006—is there a
“boundary where the particular expertise of physicists is no longer a sure
guide”?
Yet neither do
psychologists generally consider their purview to be these outer reaches of
consciousness impact on quantum physics experiments, explorations in quantum
mechanics. Nor do AI specialists. Should they? Should we?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As quantum computing and quantum
business realities approach,
how informed do we want to be? Will we
be observers –
or participants?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do we want to know about the
potential implications & consequences of unimaginable high speeds enabling
unfathomable processing power and artificial intelligence? Butting heads with
the same “quantum enigmas” and “spooky action at a distance” which still
excite physicist investigators as they did Albert Einstein!
But more significant may
be the impact of the development of required new human conceptual/contextual intelligence
for quantum computing/inventions -- expanding creative intelligence to innovate,
invent, experiment, and research far beyond common societal perceptions of
reality; common cultural concepts; the current ability to imagine a visible
reality.
In a sense: Quantum
Computing is more about imagination and creativity in the invisible realities
than the visible! How will this transform intelligence? Politics? Creativity?
Education?

Forget about Cloud Services.
What about Quantum Services!
When your data is a matter of qubits –
exactly WHERE is your data?
And WHEN is your data?
How can you UNDERSTAND your data in
“superposition”
contexts—ready but not having yet
happened?
Ready, set, superposition, go…
Could Quantum Computing make
“Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt” tired
old news
& transform all stock markets?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WILL THE CONCEPTS &
DATA OF THE HUMAN MIND
BECOME MORE CRITICAL THAN
MACHINE CONCEPTS AND DATA POTENTIAL?
We enter a quantum arena
outside of human mental concepts of linear time/space. Will our concepts and
our minds be transformed? What would be the impact on our machine concepts/data
– if human mental concepts, intelligence, creative ability to shift into
non-local, non-linear, intuitive time/space?
ARE WE READY NOW?
Are we ready now -- to
tackle this education ourselves; to educate ourselves and our children in every
field so that we, too, are part of the psychological and social, technical,
business, and moral/ethical innovations that will be required? Will we become
part of teams of entrepreneurial scientific and technical thinkers, inventors,
imaginers – daily exploring new thinking about “quantum enigma” worlds? Or sit on
the sidelines as new conceptual realities are shaped into businesses and
societies – or SHAPE our businesses and societies?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Will we need new training and languaging
to become “Quantum Era Activists”? Quantum Era Inventors? Quantum Era
Entrepreneurs? Quantum Era Educators? Quantum Era Environmentalists?
Quantum Era Parents? Quantum Era
Farmers?
Quantum Era Health Specialists? Quantum
Era Psychologists?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like planting trees, the
time for self-education about the implications, not just the technologies, as
quantum computing develops and transforms science and society -- is yesterday. The next best time is
now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have not thought of Education as
political – but in the Quantum Age, self-education at new levels may be the
greatest empowerment.
As minds and imaginations are wrapped
around quantum concepts
and stretch into new dimensions! New
communication!
What is Quantum Age Communication?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUANTUM CONSEQUENCES
Are we ready to research now -- possible “unintended
consequences” both positive and those needing antidotes!? What could be
different about “quantum consequences”? Will we have time to react when
“quantum problems” surface which we have not anticipated and for which we do
not have the mental/perceptual ability to comprehend solutions? Think unintended consequences of waiting too
long to solve Y2k and combustion engine pollution. Might “Think Ahead!” take on
a whole new urgency and meaning – a quantum definition?
Are we ready now to
question and explore for egalitarian and global consequences?

3 Key Questions to Ask Yourself as We
Approach a Quantum Future
1.
SELF-EDUCATION?
Should we consider that every business and technology, every community and
neighborhood, every society will be impacted, and take responsibility for
self-education? Will this become part of an Entrepreneur’s responsibility, an
Innovator’s responsibility – now and 1000 Years in the Future?
·
“Quantum
Enigma,” written for the lay-person by two professors whose physics classes for
non-scientists were often sold out at the time of the book’s writing – is a
great place to start! I also enjoyed Amit
Goswami’s “Quantum Activist” Documentary – food for thought from another cultural
perception and view of the spiritual/non-local consciousness intersections with
quantum mechanics. Goswami’s introductory physics texts were the common
introductions to physics in universities at the time of the documentary.
2.
FAMILY
EDUCATION? Should we consider that we have a responsibility to educate our
children, through stories and sharing our own new learning…? A family bonding
around exploring, learning new quantum concepts? Girls and boys? What sort of
family will have these conversations? What sort of neighborhoods and quantum-level
educational systems?
·
The
Power of Parents Storytelling… I well remember my father drawing in the sand showing
my brother and I what the structure of an atom looked like…how the pictures are
of electrons orbiting a nucleus were similar to pictures of orbits of planets
around the Sun, even when we were children. And it stayed with me all my life… Thinking
beyond… It served well.
·
This
was not separate but part of our daily experience as kids as he also built
telescopes as an Amateur Astronomer -- ground the telescope mirrors in the
kitchen, built the tubes & a small backyard mini-observatory… The worlds of
“Sky & Telescope” and even the structure of atoms were not outside of our
experience, questions, and family dialogue. I believed this increased my school
performance ability and expanded my imagination.
·
Can
such family exploring, learning, science/cosmic storytelling play a role in
educating our children in the Quantum Era…?
3.
TAKING
RESPONSIBILITY WITH COMPASSION AND EMPATHY? Should we begin, with our
education, to take responsibility to do our studies of new worlds of quantum concepts
and quantum computing – and beyond? And with compassion and empathy, with moral
and ethical conscience? Considering the global impacts? Seeking fairness in
every area? Avoiding any possible environmental and ecological or health
disturbances for life systems, food systems, and biology on our planet?
·
In
an Age of Quantum Computing and Quantum Societies – do we need a new Age of Global
Moral, Ethical, Compassionate Responsibility for all Life at the same time --
for this and all other new technologies, science, and artificial intelligence?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“You've got to reach for the stars, not for
the ceiling.”
– Sam, “Quantum Leap” TV Show
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A PREMIER TIME FOR
RESPONSIBLE
SELF-EDUCATION?
Is the potential for a
true “quantum leap” in societies’ technologies, just the time to consider the
possibility that we have individual and local responsibilities for new levels
of self-education—with the inspiration of the coming of such vastly new and
different technologies?
Will higher levels self-education
as a responsibility of society’s citizens itself mean a true “quantum leap” in
human consciousness--necessarily egalitarian and compassionate, necessarily
global: A new era of self-education and human conscience?
THRIVING NATURE FOR THE
NEXT 1000 YEARS…
We have a system of natural
environments on Earth that are highly biodiverse and have worked for amazing life
to thrive in its environments for eons…
Now we have questions
about how our innovations, chemicals, inventions are impacting that system of
nature—questions about our human impact on all life systems. To continue to
thrive, must we now ask these questions and research 1000 years ahead? An eon
ahead?
THE TIPPING POINT OF NEW
TECHNOLOGIES
Is it time, as we reach
true “tipping points of new technologies,” to educate ourselves to take higher
personal levels of responsibility to explore, research, and learn in order to
make the best decisions to assure that businesses and families, neighborhoods,
health for all biodiverse life – are thriving 1000 Years from now…? On any
planet we inhabit?
Will the key question
ultimately be a human consideration of Quantum Integrity, our own Quantum
Intelligence—which we often see exciting evidence of in Right Brain Aerobics—as
well as tackling the Quantum Enigmas of our universe?

But is there a new role
for Human
Intelligence (HI) – with the need for and training of unexpected,
higher creative human intelligence as we expand our minds into creative quantum
computing and concepts? How do we truly impact reality with consciousness – and
is our consciousness truly operating at quantum levels?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With greater quantum-concept
self-education and understanding of greater unseen realities as we enter a
Quantum Era – might we find out that
natural human creative intelligence has a vaster role, a more magical
impact on reality than we ever imagined?
That we are not who we think we are?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merely
unused and undeveloped, will we find our own all natural, organic, creative
“quantum intelligence” is the most important discovery in the Quantum Era and
has the greatest quantum impact of all?...
