Bibliography review:

Course outline given:

Non-relativistic QFT is a limit of relativistic QFT, and can be used to describe for example condensed matter physics systems at very low temperature. But it is still very hard to make accurate measurements even in those experiments.

Defines "relativistic" as: "the Lagrangian is symmetric under the Poincaré group".

Mentions that "QFT is hard" because (a finite list follows???):But I guess that if you fully understand what that means precisely, QTF won't be too hard for you!

Notably, this is stark contrast with rotation symmetry groups (SO(3)) which appears in space rotations present in non-relativistic quantum mechanics.

Dirac field.

In 2015, they got a 50 million investment from Grupo Arcano, led by Alberto Chang-Rajii, who is a really shady character who fled from justice for 2 years:Merged into Quantinuum later on in 2021.

Once upon a time, the British Government decided to invest some 80 million into quantum computing.

Jeremy O'Brien told his peers that he had the best tech, and that he should get it all.

Some well connected peers from well known universities did not agree however, and also bid for the money, and won.

Jeremy was defeated. And pissed.

So he moved to Palo Alto and raised a total of $665 million instead as of 2021. The end.

Makes for a reasonable the old man lost his horse.

They were called PsiQ previously apparently.More interestingly, the article mentions that this was party advised by early investor Hermann Hauser, who is known to be preoccupied about UK's ability to create companies. Of course, European Tower of Babel.
