Didn’t you disapprove quantum information theory?
No, no, no.
1) Quantum information theory is a great subject;
2) Quantum codes are very interesting mathematical objects;
3) It is true that I regard the ability to realize quantum computers and quantum codes implausible; Research in this direction is also in the realm of quantum information.
4) My (minority) view on the matter of quantum computers is irrelevant to the workshop.
5) In any case, my skeptical angle is irrelevant to my community service, e.g., I organized conferences on quantum information (that did not involve the skeptical angle), etc.
