We're in the earliest stages of thinking about data centers in space. Your earlier discussion around constraint inspires creativity. If you take a 20-year outlook, where are you going to put most of these data centers? Really hard problems to solve. Those are examples of projects we think about today, which are Waymo in 2010. Quantum itself is one of these projects. We are in a deeply committed way making progress there, and I'm excited about it. Where do you think Quantum will have the biggest impact? Because mainly people talk about molecular modeling, they talk about cryptography. There's Quantum proof cryptography that people have been developing over time. On the molecular modeling side, it actually looks like the deep learning models tend to be very good at that in certain circumstances. I mean, you all pioneered that with the AlphaFold. Do you think Quantum will actually matter? If so, where do you think it will have the biggest impact?…
