"what is post-quantum cryptography?


Post-quantum cryptography (PQC), also known as quantum-resistant or quantum-safe cryptography, is a crucial area of cybersecurity focused on developing cryptographic systems that remain secure even in the face of powerful quantum computers. Here's a breakdown:  

The Quantum Threat:

Current public-key cryptography, widely used to secure online communications (like HTTPS), relies on mathematical problems that are considered difficult for classical computers to solve.  
However, large-scale quantum computers, if they become a reality, could potentially break these cryptographic systems very quickly.  
This poses a significant threat to the security of sensitive data, including financial transactions, government communications, and personal information.  
Post-Quantum Cryptography's Goal:

PQC aims to develop cryptographic algorithms that are resistant to attacks from both classical and quantum computers.  
These new algorithms are based on different mathematical problems that are believed to remain difficult even for quantum computers.  
Key Aspects:

NIST Standardization:
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is leading a global effort to standardize PQC algorithms.  
This process involves evaluating candidate algorithms and selecting those that meet stringent security and performance requirements.  
NIST has finalized standards for PQC algorithms, which is a major step forward.  
Diverse Mathematical Approaches:
PQC research explores various mathematical approaches, including:
Lattice-based cryptography  
Hash-based cryptography  
Code-based cryptography  
Multivariate cryptography  
Isogeny-based cryptography  
Transition and Implementation:
The transition to PQC is a complex undertaking that will require significant changes to existing cryptographic infrastructure.  
Organizations and industries are beginning to prepare for this transition to ensure that their data remains secure in the future.  
Why it Matters:

The development and implementation of PQC are essential for maintaining the security of digital communications in the face of the emerging quantum threat.  
It's crucial to act now, as sensitive data transmitted today could be vulnerable to decryption by future quantum computers.  
In essence, post-quantum cryptography is about preparing for the future of cybersecurity by developing cryptographic systems that can withstand the power of quantum computers.

Some see $$ and others see dilution.

Yeeeee. Hawwwwww. !! Money. Money. Who’s got the money! Ionq !!! That was quick guys. Great job. Over 900 patents now! I’m going to invest in alligator feed now. 🐊

Pro forma year-end cash now over $700 million

At-the-Market Program has been terminated

COLLEGE PARK, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 10, 2025--IonQ, Inc. (NYSE: IONQ), a leader in the quantum computing and quantum networking industries, today announced that under its “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”) it has sold a total of 16,038,460 shares of its common stock for an aggregate amount of approximately $372.6 million, netting aggregate proceeds of approximately $360 million.

The Company has determined that it has raised a sufficient amount under the program to meet its currently anticipated capital needs. The Company also determined that given overall recent market disruptions, the trading prices for its shares, and the overhang from having an ATM Program in effect, the ATM Program should be terminated. The Company has therefore terminated the ATM Program today and a prospectus supplement will be filed under Rule 424(c) reflecting such termination.

Niccolo De Masi, the Company’s President and CEO, said “We are pleased to have been able to raise over $350 million, even in the recent turbulent markets. On a pro-forma basis, this brings our cash balance on December 31, 2024 to over $700 million. We are confident that we now have the capital we need for continued global leadership in both our quantum computing and quantum networking divisions.”

The Company noted that while, following the termination of the ATM Program, the Company’s officers and directors generally would not be limited in their ability to sell shares during the Company’s current open trading window through March 14, 2025, none of the Company’s executive officers or directors intend to sell any shares during the trading window, except our Executive Chair, Peter Chapman.* Mr. Chapman has previously disclosed that he may sell shares during the window, and he may exercise options for up to 2.0 million shares and sell those shares to meet near term capital needs related to a personal real estate purchase and to pay taxes associated with option exercises. Mr. Chapman hasn’t exercised options or sold any shares over the past six years, and what he may sell represents less than 23 percent of his vested equity interest in the Company.

*Excludes shares sold to cover statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units.

It may be a while before this hits $50 again. My bet would be we see $15, before this ever gets to $50 again.

Anything under $50 is an absolute GIFT. 50 burger here we come !!!

So I guess its not smart to take profits when the market is high, sit back and watch it drop and then re-enter the market and ride it back up?

Retail traders account for 10%-20% of the market. So it is doubtful that all of this downward pressure is just from them.

According to you the smart play here is to ride it down, go down with the ship and watch your profits evaporate?

Keep holding on to the anchor - clutch it tight.

Long Tail Down on 10-Mar-2025. GLTA

PS: The larger market drowning in an endless uncertainty mode that could lead to an implosive action.

"There is nothing but good news out"

But the price keeps dropping!!!

Yes it's a buying opportunity for those who sold high and will buy back in low, tripling their share count.

Sell your house as well. Might as well go all in.

"There has been no bad news released from the corporation."

Yeah, the only bad news here is the price has been dropping like a rock!!!

Look at NVDA. They have great fundamentals (which you don't have here) and their price is dropping as well.

You clearly have studied up on quantum physics and how light bends etc.

However it might be time to open a book and read up on stock trading 101. When the market in general is going down for a variety of reasons, it usually pulls everything down with it.

Just look at it as a buying opportunity. With IDQ joining forces with us and Qubitekk etc etc etc this corporation is going places. Again. There is nothing but good news out. Hang onto your shares. This will fly back up once they get their fill. I feel sorry for all the people who sold. Quantum is the future. And Ionq is leading the way. Keep your eye on IonQ.

Aggressive algorithmic shorting is back, unfortunately. Wish the company has a strategy to combat this. They are not going to stop as long as the markets are trash and the volume is low.

% of float shorted dropping?

Almost time to buy....

I’m seriously looking at selling some more of my guitars and amps. There has been no bad news released from the corporation, only good pr’s. Time to have another yard sale.

I'm gonna pick up some more good shares this week.  Sincerely, The Turd.  

is inoq's arakawa the same arakawa family as gene hackman's wife?

Meh... She sucks at her job, in my opinion.

Well not so fast Jack. Number 1. We don’t know what her budget is . Number 2 I think Peter was waiting for a few more advancements and maybe even a Tempo announcement to really turn her loose on a ad campaign . We shall see. I think the pace is going to pick up soon. The first Tempo is already sold to Quantum Basil and I’d bet the AFRL is next, and maybe S. Korea or the U. A. E. too? Stay tuned. G D is in the picture too. And let’s not forget Astra Zeneca , Hyundai etc etc etc My guess is they’re all waiting on Tempo

They should move on from Arakawa. If I'm being honest, she's dead weight.

I believe it is because they have a better p r campaign. Niccolo is fixing that by stepping out front and getting on the business news shows . Very few people have even heard of quantum and even fewer understand what it is. We need to keep educating the public on quantum. And we need to stress that quantum plus A I is the future. I see us stepping up the ed campaign with the speakers at the upcoming conferences etc but I think we need to do more to really step out front and make IonQ ubiquitous in the quantum field. “Keep your eye on IonQ “ could be a start?

Yes, it doesn't look good with $10 being the next support area.



A closer look at OBV shows that it has bottomed but more time is needed to determine the direction.

Rigetti has a better secret sauce? 🤯😱

Not ago. Avgo

.” Focusing on Broadcom Inc. (formerly Avago Technologies), there is no publicly available information indicating that Broadcom holds patents specifically covering the combination of heterogeneous quantum computing, software-defined quantum computing, and peer-to-peer deployment using mobile devices. However, Broadcom has been actively involved in areas related to quantum computing, particularly in developing quantum-resistant technologies:
1. Quantum-Resistant Network Solutions:
      •   Broadcom introduced the industry’s first quantum-resistant network solution through its Emulex Secure Host Bus Adapters. These adapters aim to encrypt all data with quantum-resistant, zero-trust security measures, addressing potential threats posed by advancements in quantum computing. ?
2. Impact on Encryption:
      •   Broadcom has published white papers discussing the implications of quantum computing on current encryption methods, highlighting the need for developing and adopting quantum-resistant cryptographic solutions. ?

While these initiatives demonstrate Broadcom’s engagement with quantum computing challenges, they do not specifically pertain to the integration of heterogeneous quantum computing, software-defined frameworks, and peer-to-peer mobile deployments. Additionally, there is no indication that VMware holds patents in this specific area. The landscape of quantum computing patents is rapidly evolving, with significant growth in filings related to various quantum technologies, reflecting increasing investments and research in the field.

Chat GPT seems to differ Doc.

Does ago/vmware have a patent on what we have been discussing?

Based on the available information, neither VMware nor a company named “Ago” appear to hold patents specifically covering the combination of heterogeneous quantum computing, software-defined quantum computing, and peer-to-peer deployment using mobile devices. However, there are relevant patents and developments in this domain:
1. Software-Defined Quantum Computing: A notable patent in this area is U.S. Patent No. 11,281,987, titled “Software-Defined Quantum Computer,” granted to Duke University and IonQ, Inc. on March 22, 2022. This patent describes a software-defined quantum architecture, including aspects like resource management workflows and quantum compiler architecture. ?
2. Hybrid Quantum-Classical Computing: D-Wave Systems Inc. has been involved in developing hybrid computing architectures that integrate quantum processors with classical systems. For instance, their patent application US-20120254586-A1 discusses operating a quantum processor within a heterogeneous computing architecture. ?
3. VMware’s Involvement: While VMware has explored virtualization in high-performance computing (HPC) environments, enabling heterogeneous resource configurations and flexible mixing of different computing resources on the same physical hardware, there is no specific indication of VMware holding patents directly related to software-defined quantum computing or peer-to-peer quantum computing deployments. ?
4. Quantum Computing Patent Trends: The landscape of quantum computing patents is rapidly evolving, with significant growth in patent filings related to quantum computing and communications. This trend reflects increasing investments and research in the field, suggesting that companies are actively seeking intellectual property protection for various quantum technologies. ?

In summary, while companies like IonQ and D-Wave have secured patents pertinent to software-defined and hybrid quantum computing, there is no clear evidence that VMware or “Ago” possess patents specifically covering the integrated approach of heterogeneous quantum computing, software-defined frameworks, and peer-to-peer mobile deployments as described.

Doc But they’re not using Ploinks. Not the same. Far from it. Imo

Ionq breached the $20 barrier. This slide down will continue into the $10 - $20 range.

What was laughable a few weeks ago to some, who lashed out at that prediction, is now the reality here.

Perhaps it was only the turds who sold high and buy back in low, rather than loading and buying everything in sight in the mid $30s or $20s, as suggested by the vocal few here.

How are we down but Rigetti is up? Makes no fucking sense. That company fucking sucks.

kona, avgo/vmware already have a version of such it's the vmware cloud foundation v 9..........9? as in ibm db2 v9? i wonder if they are vcsy partners?
lol.
it's a programming language environment, which pretty much sums up what you're ai was telling you about.
now at same month, msft teams is adding sms, which is used in 2 factor id of 8
and google is putting out astra ai from their deepmind group to the gemini ai group.

and i'm thinking we see trump and elon push out and deliver digital records in government, state and federal to help us keep track of things including money and id's . see NARA....national archives and records administration..........i don't know if they have a leader from the trump team, but that is going to be a whopper accoplishment..........ferret out the fraud of voter id, finance, social security, medicare, medicaid, taxes, property, etc.

Very close to dropping below that support at $20. If that happens, not a good sign at all.

Having an entire conversation with oneself is definitely a special skill.

"Doctor, increase his meds and push his release date back another 60 days, so we can evaluate." 😳😱

Woops. Sorry Luiz. I inadvertently left u out. Without you, this could never happen. I really think you should see about teaming up with IonQ.

I rest my case Doc. Now you get to work along with Peter and Niccolo and patent this new idea. Presto !

Vcsy patent on a browser , but not

Vertical Computer Systems, Inc. (VCSY) holds several patents related to web technologies that function similarly to browsers but with distinct functionalities. Notably:
1. U.S. Patent No. 6,826,744 (’744 Patent): This patent pertains to a system and method for generating websites in an arbitrary object framework. It facilitates the creation and management of websites using a modular approach, differing from traditional browser functionalities.
2. U.S. Patent No. 8,949,780 (’780 Patent): This is a continuation of the ‘744 Patent, further strengthening VCSY’s proprietary technology concerning these patents. ?
3. U.S. Patent No. 8,903,371 (’371 Patent): This patent, titled “Cellular Telephone System and Method,” involves technologies that enable mobile devices to function with enhanced capabilities, potentially overlapping with certain browser functionalities. ?
4. U.S. Patent No. 9,112,832 (’832 Patent): This patent, titled “System and Method for Running a Web Server on a Mobile Internet Device,” covers the TinyWebServer component of VCSY’s Mobile Framework (MLE Framework), allowing mobile devices to serve web content, thereby extending beyond traditional browser roles. ?

These patents collectively showcase VCSY’s innovations in web technologies that offer functionalities akin to browsers but with unique capabilities tailored to specific applications.

Haha, fair enough! Sounds like you’ve got something big in the works. If you ever want to bounce around ideas or refine any part of it, I’m here. Keep building!

Yes. But I’m not telling you. lmfao

I see immediate industry applications as a permissioned p2p model


That makes a lot of sense—a permissioned P2P model ensures security, reliability, and regulatory compliance, making it more viable for industry adoption while still leveraging decentralization.

Industry Applications & Use Cases
1. Secure Quantum Cloud for Enterprises
      •   Companies can run quantum-classical workloads on a distributed network of mobile mini servers.
      •   Reduces reliance on centralized quantum cloud providers while maintaining control over sensitive computations.
2. Finance & Cryptography
      •   Quantum-safe encryption for real-time transactions.
      •   Decentralized risk analysis & fraud detection using quantum-enhanced optimization.
3. Pharmaceuticals & Materials Science
      •   Secure P2P networks can coordinate quantum simulations for drug discovery and materials research across multiple institutions.
4. Telecommunications & IoT
      •   Quantum-classical hybrid processing at the edge, enabling secure communication protocols & efficient data routing.

Next Steps for Building This
   •   Consensus & Coordination: How will P2P nodes agree on task execution? A lightweight blockchain or quantum-secure coordination mechanism?
   •   Hardware Integration: Will the framework focus on connecting to existing quantum cloud providers or explore direct mobile-device quantum acceleration?
   •   Enterprise Adoption Strategy: Will this be an API-first solution, an SDK, or a full-stack deployment for specific industries?

This could revolutionize how quantum computing is accessed and utilized—do you already have a roadmap or key milestones in mind?

A peer to peer deployment using ploinks patented mini servers on your phones

That’s a really interesting approach—leveraging Ploinks’ patented mini servers on mobile devices for a peer-to-peer (P2P) quantum computing framework. This could enable distributed quantum-classical workloads without relying on centralized cloud infrastructure.

Potential Benefits of This Approach
1. Decentralized Quantum Processing
      •   Instead of relying on cloud-based quantum computing, mobile devices could coordinate quantum-classical tasks.
      •   P2P networks could distribute workloads dynamically based on available resources.
2. Edge Computing for Quantum Workloads
      •   Mobile devices could handle pre/post-processing for quantum computations, reducing cloud dependency.
      •   Locally optimized hybrid computations could reduce latency and improve efficiency.
3. Quantum Security & Privacy
      •   Ploinks’ mini servers could provide a privacy-focused, encrypted communication layer for secure quantum data exchange.
      •   Could integrate quantum-safe encryption for secure peer-to-peer transactions.

Key Questions for Implementation
   •   How will the mobile mini servers interact with quantum hardware?
      •   Will they primarily offload computations to remote QPUs or focus on hybrid quantum-classical tasks locally?
   •   Will this network be permissioned or fully decentralized?
      •   A permissioned P2P model might work better for industry applications.
      •   A fully decentralized approach could enable open research collaborations.

This is a novel way to rethink quantum accessibility—are you envisioning this as a research-first initiative, or do you see immediate industry applications?

A framework built on top of ask’s, proprietary for research and industry applications and focus on high level abstraction and automation.

That makes a lot of sense—leveraging existing quantum SDKs while building a proprietary framework that abstracts complexity and automates key aspects of quantum-classical execution.

How Your Framework Could Be Structured

1. Core Components
   •   Quantum-Orchestration Layer: Manages workload distribution across different quantum hardware (trapped ions, superconducting, photonic).
   •   AI-Assisted Compiler: Translates high-level quantum tasks into optimized execution plans for specific quantum backends.
   •   Hybrid Quantum-Classical Scheduler: Determines which computations should run on classical vs. quantum processors for maximum efficiency.
   •   Secure Quantum Networking Layer: If needed, integrates photonic qubits for interconnectivity and quantum-secure communication.

2. High-Level Abstraction & Automation
   •   Declarative Programming Model: Researchers and industry users can specify problems without worrying about hardware specifics.
   •   Automated Circuit Optimization: Uses AI to optimize quantum circuits dynamically based on real-time hardware conditions.
   •   Error Mitigation & Resource Allocation: The framework should handle error correction and allocate resources without manual intervention.

3. Integration with Existing SDKs
   •   Would you plan to integrate with Qiskit (IBM), Cirq (Google), PennyLane (Xanadu), Braket (AWS), or IonQ’s SDK?
   •   Would your framework be a meta-layer that works across multiple providers, or focused on specific hardware?

Would love to hear more about your vision—are you thinking of a cloud-based deployment, an enterprise on-prem solution, or something else?

Computing – A networked quantum ecosystem that enables seamless access to heterogeneous quantum resources.
2. Automated Scientific Discovery – AI-assisted quantum-classical workflows for materials science, pharmaceuticals, and optimization.
3. Self-Optimizing AI Systems – A computational model where machine learning algorithms improve quantum program execution over time.
4. Quantum Internet & Secure Communication – Leveraging photonic qubits to create unbreakable cryptographic protocols.

?

Next Steps: Turning This Into Reality?
   •   Are you thinking of a new language from scratch, or could this be a framework built on top of existing quantum SDKs?
   •   Would you see this as an open-source, community-driven project or something proprietary for research and industry applications?
   •   Are you looking to integrate hardware control at a low level, or focus more on high-level abstraction and automation?

I love where you’re going with this—this could be a quantum-native execution environment beyond classical web paradigms.

Doc. Ya gotta liov the peer-to peer example. Luiz / Vcsy was way ahead of their time.

Something else like, heterogeneous quantum computing using software defined quantum computing.

That’s an incredibly forward-thinking idea—essentially a quantum-first, networked programming language and execution environment designed for heterogeneous quantum computing (HQC) using software-defined quantum computing (SDQC) principles.

Concept: A Programming Language for Heterogeneous Quantum Computing with SDQC

Instead of just writing classical code that interacts with quantum hardware, this language itself would be:
1. Natively aware of quantum and classical resources
2. Capable of dynamically distributing workloads across different quantum computing architectures
3. Designed to function in a networked, software-defined manner, much like how modern cloud-based SDN (Software-Defined Networking) operates

Key Features & Capabilities

1. Multi-Modal Quantum Execution Model
   •   Unlike classical programming languages with quantum SDKs (e.g., Qiskit, Cirq), this language natively understands different types of qubits (trapped ions, superconducting qubits, photonic qubits, etc.).
   •   It abstracts hardware differences, automatically selecting the best modality for a given computation.

2. Software-Defined Quantum Computing (SDQC) Integration
   •   Dynamic Routing of Computation: Just like SDN dynamically configures networks, this language would dynamically assign computations to different quantum backends based on availability, coherence time, or task complexity.
   •   Programmable Quantum Interconnects: Could utilize quantum networking (QKD, entanglement-based communication) to link hybrid quantum nodes together seamlessly.

3. Hybrid Quantum-Classical Processing
   •   Seamless integration of classical compute nodes for pre-processing, error mitigation, and post-processing of quantum computations.
   •   AI-driven compilation & error correction: The compiler could use machine learning to optimize circuits in real time for error rates, decoherence, and cross-platform compatibility.

4. Decentralized & Networked Execution (Post-Web Paradigm)
   •   Instead of being browser-based, it operates as a networked quantum execution environment that doesn’t depend on traditional internet architectures.
   •   Peer-to-peer quantum cloud computing: Users could contribute quantum resources dynamically, similar to blockchain-based distributed computing models.

5. A High-Level, Flexible Language Syntax
   •   Unlike current quantum languages that require deep knowledge of quantum gates, this language could feature a declarative, high-level syntax that allows developers to focus on problems rather than hardware-specific details.

A programming language that functions like a browser, but not.

That sounds like a fascinating idea—almost like a fusion of a programming language and a runtime environment that behaves like a browser but isn’t one in the traditional sense. Let’s break it down conceptually:

Core Concept: A Programming Language That Functions Like a Browser

Instead of just executing scripts within a browser, the language itself could natively interpret, render, and interact with web-like environments while being independent of traditional browsers.

Key Features & Capabilities
1. Rendering Engine-Like Behavior
      •   The language could have built-in support for layout rendering, akin to how browsers interpret HTML/CSS.
      •   It wouldn’t just be a markup parser; it would allow dynamic, programmable rendering behaviors.
2. Dynamic Execution Model
      •   Like JavaScript in a browser, but deeper—where the language itself provides an event-driven model.
      •   Unlike a browser, it might allow lower-level control over execution, akin to WebAssembly or even Rust.
3. Direct Network Interfacing
      •   Built-in networking, but abstracted for security—no reliance on HTTP but something lower-level or decentralized.
      •   Could natively support peer-to-peer (P2P) connections, decentralized protocols, or even quantum-safe cryptography.
4. State Management Beyond the DOM
      •   Instead of a Document Object Model (DOM), it could have an “Abstract Object Model” that allows dynamic manipulation of objects without needing HTML.
      •   More like a persistent, versioned object graph rather than a constantly repainted UI.
5. Hybrid Compilation & Interpretation
      •   Just-in-time (JIT) execution for speed, like JavaScript’s V8, but with optional ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation for efficiency.
      •   Could target multiple backends, such as CPU, GPU, FPGA, or even quantum processors.

What It’s Not
   •   Not a browser in the sense of just rendering web pages; rather, it’s a self-sufficient environment for executing programs in a web-like, networked way.
   •   Not just another scripting language—it defines its own execution model, state, and interaction paradigm.
   •   Not limited to traditional request-response web architectures—it could natively support decentralized applications or real-time systems.

Potential Use Cases
   •   Decentralized Computing: A language that natively supports distributed systems without reliance on web browsers.
   •   Quantum-Web Hybrid Execution: Could work with quantum backends seamlessly while handling classical computation efficiently.
   •   Adaptive UI/UX Systems: A system where interfaces are dynamically generated based on context rather than predefined layouts.
   •   Self-Healing Code Execution: Programs that optimize and restructure themselves based on runtime conditions.

Would you envision this being used for something specific, like replacing web browsers, decentralizing applications, or something else entirely?

What if Heterogeneous quantum computing using software defined quantum computing along with trapped ion, superconducting and photonic methods along with classical to handle the data side ?

That’s a powerful and promising approach! Heterogeneous quantum computing (HQC) that integrates multiple qubit modalities—trapped ions, superconducting circuits, and photonics—while leveraging classical computing for data processing could overcome the limitations of any single quantum technology. Here’s how it could work:

Key Advantages of Heterogeneous Quantum Computing
1. Combining Strengths of Different Qubit Technologies
      •   Trapped ions offer long coherence times and high-fidelity operations.
      •   Superconducting qubits provide fast gate speeds and scalability advantages.
      •   Photonic qubits enable long-distance quantum communication and interconnects between different quantum processors.
2. Software-Defined Quantum Computing (SDQC)
      •   A software layer could dynamically allocate workloads to the most suitable hardware.
      •   Quantum compilers and error correction schemes could be optimized based on hardware characteristics.
      •   Cloud-based access could allow for seamless integration of different quantum processing units (QPUs).
3. Hybrid Quantum-Classical Processing
      •   Classical processors could handle data pre/post-processing, error mitigation, and algorithmic optimization.
      •   Near-term hybrid quantum-classical algorithms (like VQEs and QAOAs) would benefit from faster classical feedback loops.
4. Quantum Networking for Scalability
      •   Photonic interconnects could enable distributed quantum computing.
      •   Entanglement-based networking would allow trapped ions and superconducting systems to communicate efficiently.

Challenges to Overcome
   •   Cross-platform interoperability: Requires universal quantum software layers and error correction techniques.
   •   Latency in hybrid processing: Efficient integration of quantum and classical resources is non-trivial.
   •   Hardware standardization: Different qubit modalities need to work within a unified architecture.

Potential Applications
   •   Optimization problems (logistics, finance, supply chain) could benefit from superconducting QPUs for speed and trapped ions for precision.
   •   Quantum chemistry and material simulations could leverage the long coherence times of trapped ions.
   •   Secure quantum communication could use photonic qubits for long-distance entanglement distribution.

Are you thinking about specific use cases or exploring architectures for this approach?

Thank you for the informed and well crafted response.

One thing to consider is that some products cost a lot at introduction, but once scaled up and become mainstream, the costs are reduced significantly.

For example, when flat screen TVs first hit the market they cost $25k and were about 42 inches. Manufacturing and design improvements helped bring the prices down, screen sizes kept getting larger and sales went up.

Hopefully, we experience some improvements and breakthroughs in technology here which translate into higher sales and revenues.
