Tim Ventura Interviews

Google says its new quantum chip indicates that multiple universes exist - are they correct? William Munizzi discusses Google "Willow" and the Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. Per Wikipedia, Several authors, including Everett, Wheeler and Deutsch, call many-worlds a theory rather than an interpretation. Everett argued that it was the "only completely coherent approach to explaining both the contents of quantum mechanics and the appearance of the world." Deutsch said that to call it an interpretation "is like talking about dinosaurs as an 'interpretation' of fossil records." If the Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics is real, the parallel dimensions exist, and quantum computers can access them to perform calculations. This may explain how Google's quantum Willow chip can perform calculations that would take a leading supercomputer 10 septillion years, which is longer than the age of the universe. IIf the Many Worlds Interpretation of QM is validated, it may have larger implications to our understanding of the universe. Bryce DeWitt claims that Everett, Wheeler & Graham "do not in the end exclude any element of the superposition. All the worlds are there, even those in which everything goes wrong and all the statistical laws break down." In other words, a diverse number science-fiction worlds from TV shows like "Sliders" become plausible. William Munizzi is a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). His research surrounds various mathematical aspects of quantum information and high-energy physics, with a primary focus on entanglement, quantum algorithms, quantum sensing, and error correction. William received his PhD in physics from Arizona State University, where his thesis explored foundations of quantum information, and their interpretation in quantum gravity. William is particularly interested in the dynamics of quantum computing resources under the action of operator groups, as well as high-energy applications of various quantum properties. His research has recently expanded to include optimization of entanglement-based quantum networks, and the design of quantum sensing arrays for improved particle detection.

RPA veteran Wayne Phelps offers insights into the growing mystery of drone sightings over the state of New Jersey, and discusses technical, legal & psychological factors driving the current rash of reported sightings. Lt. Col. Wayne Phelps (ret.) is the author of "On Killing Remotely: The Psychology Of Killing With Drones", which explores human decision-making in a future dominated by Artificial Intelligence & automation. Wayne Phelps is a retired Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel and author of “On Killing Remotely: The Psychology of Killing with Drones”, available at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08L4LNL7R/. During his military career, Wayne deployed five times, including two deployments to Afghanistan and two deployments to Iraq. He was amongst the first conventional troops on the ground in Pakistan after 9/11. He also participated in the initial invasion into Iraq in 2003 and the troop surge into Afghanistan in 2010. He commanded units at every level from Platoon to Squadron, served as an instructor at the Marine Corps’ premier aviation training squadron and a staff officer in the Pentagon. In 2014 he was selected to become an RPA pilot and he attended the Air Force’s Undergraduate Pilot Training becoming the first Marine honor graduate. His last assignment was as the Commanding Officer of Marine Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Squadron Three (VMU-3) in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. As the Commanding Officer, he deployed four remotely piloted aircraft detachments to conduct counter-terrorism operations against violent extremist organizations. We start out by exploring the evolution of the General Atomics MQ-1 Predator Drone into the armed MQ-9 Reaper, and some of the psychological effects associated with flying an armed vs. surveillance aircraft. We also discuss some of the advantages & challenges associated with remotely piloted vehicles - and perceptual changes from flying remotely piloted vehicles in crews assigned to them. Drone aircraft are the beginning, and we explore how the cost & safety benefits of RPV's are being applied to tanks & land vehicles such as the Milrem TheMIS, Ripsaw M5 Robo-Tank, Miloš UGV, Gladiator TUGV, Foster-Miller TALON, and more. We also discuss robotic platforms such as the the GNOME, FEDOR, and well-known Boston Dynamics Atlas. Great Britain and the USA are both exploring Artificial Intelligence to allow drones to decide when to pull the trigger themselves, which takes the ultimate control of warfare out of direct human hands and moves people into a planning & oversight capacity. Is this a good thing, and what does it mean for remote killing machines if they can operate autonomously? In the space of 20 years, we’ve gone from remote piloted surveillance aircraft to fully automated killing machines that make their own decisions about combat. This is a slippery slope to an uncertain future and it is worth discussing the meaning of these changes to warfare now, rather than later.

Paul Szymanski discusses the strategic, tactical & political goals of satellite & space warfare, in addition to disruptive new Russian Oreshnik IRBM and Chinese Fractional Orbital Bombardment System. In this briefing, Szymanski explores the ramifications of space warfare on commercial constellations like Starlink, along with dual-use applications of satellite infrastructure for military & civilian tasks. We'll also be discussing inspector satellites, satellite "cloaking" and hidden orbits, and a variety of other grey zone tactics used in modern space warfare. Commercial satellite systems are increasingly useful for long-range control of drones and other command & control activities in combat zones where conventional communications equipment has been disabled. The impact of space warfare on commercial mega-constellations is a new issue of concern in the increasingly crowded orbital environment. Paul Szymanski is a noted expert in space warfare theory, policy, doctrine, strategies & tactics. Paul’s background includes expertise in space control, space superiority, force application Space Situational Awareness (SSA), Space Domain Awareness (SDA) & space Battle Management Command and Control (BMC2) studies, analyses, simulations & operations research. His career experience includes roles and affiliations with a variety of well known organizations including the Aerospace Corporation, Metatech, and the Air Force Research Lab, among others.
