What was your reaction when the results of experiments conducted by David Wineland, Serge Haroche and their collaborators were published in 1996?
Max Tegmark: I found these absolutely spectacular and not just because experiences they have verified the theory of decoherence. The Nobel Prize for physics was awarded to Serge Haroche and David Wineland reward equally achieving these experiments that the techniques of manipulation of individual quantum systems they had developed to achieve this. It's pretty incredible to see the way that was done in less than a century. We have gone from a time when the existence of atoms and quanta of light had begun to doubt the individual mastery of these objects. The implications of the work of Haroche and Wineland are important not only from a theoretical point of view but also because they have great potential in nanotechnology.

Futura-Sciences: Many physicists seem to think that the obstacle of decoherence is probably insurmountable and we're never going to build quantum computers powerful enough to compete with computers classics and exceed.
What is your opinion about this?
Max Tegmark: I recently discussed these issues with colleagues. Many of us think that such computers are not likely to see the day before the 2050s.
