Quantum Beavers!

QB is a collection of 10,000 Quantum Beaver NFTs—unique digital collectibles that follow the general format of other popular NFT projects. QB is a collection of beaver scientists, with traits that represent key activities in quantum physics and chemistry. This is meant to be fun and accessible to kids and adults…and with some advanced concepts included too, that only a PhD physicist would recognize.  My hope is that this Quantum Beaver NFT project will be a catalyst to learn about and advance science and share enthusiasm for science with others.

Note: We’re not really into pumping and selling. We’re simply rolling this out slow and steady. We’d like these beavers to go to people who really like science and might hang onto them for a while.

Why Quantum Beavers?

Quantum is the foundational description of how the world works. Everything else we’re used to – mechanical things, binary computing, and all that – is just an approximation to an underlying full reality described by quantum. 

We’re now starting to use quantum principles to build a next generation of computers that’s radically more capable than anything that exists today. This will do to digital computers what digital computers did to the abacus. Yes, really.

Beavers are nature’s scientists and engineers. They fell forests, build dams, and live in elaborate forest homes with moats and underground entrances. If you’ve never seen them in action I highly recommend you take walk to your local beaver works and check out what they can do. They’re an amazing site to be seen in the physical world. 

In Quantum Beavers, beavers have found quantum computers and they’re going to use this new tech to leap ahead of humans – in the metaverse! They are planning, working, experimenting, and discovering how. 

Who We Are and Where We’re Going

I started Quantum Beavers because I wanted to have a fun way to get people excited about science – especially my kids. I’m a physicist by training, and work on AI/ML, quantum and other fun stuff. I’ve thought that beavers are the coolest animals in nature since the first time I saw them in action as a kid on a hike. 

I’d like to use this project to generate awareness and appreciation for science and nature, and possibly catalyze some interesting and important conversations about the convergence of the digital world and the physical world.
