didn't let that distract him. He dimmed <strong>the</strong> pass<strong>in</strong>gsnowflakes <strong>in</strong> one part of <strong>the</strong> view and brought up plots ofthree pulse tra<strong>in</strong>s. "These are <strong>the</strong> state changes <strong>in</strong> three qbitsentangled with particles <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> antimatter traps <strong>in</strong> ourlaboratory. "These qbits all belong to magnons," he said."Note how <strong>the</strong> duty cycle of <strong>the</strong> pulse tra<strong>in</strong> changes abruptlysomewhat before we notice <strong>the</strong> force vector change." He let<strong>the</strong>m take that <strong>in</strong> and mutter some more. "These pulse tra<strong>in</strong>sare isolated from <strong>the</strong> three different entangled particles."Now he brought up a vector field over all <strong>the</strong> nearbyobjects large enough to possibly harbor condensates. "Us<strong>in</strong>g<strong>the</strong> entanglement ratios we assumed earlier..." he had to gettechnical with <strong>the</strong>m once aga<strong>in</strong> to show how those magnonpolarity changes “...are all that is needed to apply <strong>the</strong>m<strong>in</strong>uscule amounts of force needed to effect <strong>the</strong>se coursecorrections.”The presentation was done, and now came <strong>the</strong> hard part,<strong>the</strong> questions. This was where he would be forced tospeculate on what sort of device or be<strong>in</strong>g was perform<strong>in</strong>g allthis quantum state chang<strong>in</strong>g. They would go right to quantumcomput<strong>in</strong>g, but he didn't have proof of that. He had a signal.There are any number of ways a signal can arise.He also had a visitor. He might discuss her with Ava, bu<strong>the</strong> was still forbidden to speak of her and even if he could, hecouldn't use any of <strong>the</strong> nonsense Yellelle spouted <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>upcom<strong>in</strong>g discussion. He had to be careful he didn't fight194
