So, why would a physicist want to be at a startup, especially one like quantum machines? Well, pretty easy. Lots of really great things to do. So, it's a really exciting place to be for physicists A, because we have so many on the team. I don't remember the numbers, but I think we're over 100 physicists today with all kinds of different backgrounds. There are always exciting technical discussions. But also the rest of the team. Not everyone is a physicist, but everyone is smart, everyone is engaged, everyone wants to learn, everyone brings something that you can learn from them as well. And so, every conversation is an interesting one. Every day I learn something new, but also get a chance often to teach people something new. And the combination of that and moving really quickly in a startup that is nimble and breaking barriers and doing really cool research and bringing new products to our customers frequently is really an exciting place to be.
