The Perimeter Institute along with the University of Waterloo together form probably the largest concentration of the theorists in quantum computing in the world. And they just keep growing! So, in the past few years, I have been calling those two institutions “the black hole of quantum computing.” When I told this to Andrew Landahl at a meeting I was just attending in San Diego, he came up with a great correction to my description. Really I should have been calling it “the blackberry hole of quantum computing!”
O brave new quantum world!

I think what Scott was trying to say is that his comment can’t contain any information.
Scott has turned into Hawking radiation! Or was Scott always Hawking radiation?
Well the Perimeter Institute can’t be that massive. So Scott should have evaporated himself out in no time. Putting him back together might be tricky though, and probably very messy.
