The biggest Quantum Volume quantum computer is based in Minnesota! Can we Reverse Time yet?

 Honeywell's aerospace foundry in Plymouth, Minnesota will continue to provide manufacturing support for Quantinuum's proprietary ion traps, which sit at the heart of the company's trapped-ion quantum computers.

I have an old school buddy who lives in Plymouth - actually I think one of my relatives also lives there. One time I had my car battery "die" at a young beautiful girlfriend's house - so I stayed overnight - at Plymouth. She was actually my first "girlfriend." haha.

Maybe they just manufacture there - but the actual quantum computer is at Cambridge?

 researchers from Cambridge Quantum were the first external users to run a quantum circuit on the System Model H0, Honeywell’s inaugural commercial system.

Honeywell spins off Minnesota-grown quantum-computing division into new company, Quantinuum

 The new company, first announced this summer, will be headquartered in Colorado and the U.K., but maintain a 40-person workforce in Minnesota that Uttley says will continue to grow.

OK let's point out that with quantum computers time was actually reversed! 

Using an IBM quantum computer, they managed to undo the aging of a single, simulated elementary particle by one millionth of a second. But it was a Pyrrhic victory at best, requiring manipulations so unlikely to occur naturally that it only reinforced the notion that we are helplessly trapped in the flow of time.

 The uncertainty principle, which lies at the heart of quantum mechanics, states that, at any given moment, either the location or the velocity of a subatomic particle can be specified, but not both. As a result, a particle such as an electron, or a system of them, is represented by a mathematical entity called a wave function, whose magnitude is a measure of the probability of finding a particle in a particular place or condition. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/08/science/quantum-physics-time.html

 Yes we know yet quantum biology is based on listening faster than time-frequency uncertainty!
