is better and faster than concorde. and using ai to bring family history to life. this week on press here. good morning everyone. i'm scott mcgrew. one of the most innovative companies we've been following over the years is boom. it's an airplane builder who plans to sell supersonic passenger planes to airlines all over the world before it can build this. this is an artist's depiction. it had to build this an actual faster than the speed of sound airplane. in recent test flights. the boom xb one became the first american built civilian aircraft to go supersonic. and now, after a second supersonic test flight, the company ceo is telling us they have solved a major hurdle. the sonic boom. good morning. just so i understand this right, you went through mach one. your airplane did. without the sonic boom hitting the ground. if i

got that right. yeah. that's right. we've broken the sound barrier now six times. no. boom. how does that work? i mean, is that something that that military pilots say? oh, yeah, that happens all the time, or because it was my understanding and, you know, people who are old enough will remember the concorde. there was a supersonic airline, but it or airliner. but it could only go supersonic over the water because it would shatter every window over which it flew. yeah. so this is physics that's been around for a long time. it turns out if we fly lightly supersonic up to a speed of about mach 1.3, and we break the sound barrier to a sufficiently high altitude, the boom actually comes off the airplane, and it makes a u-turn in the atmosphere, and it never touches the ground. and so doing that reliably requires engine power. it requires good aerodynamics, and most importantly, it requires computers so that we can get the right speed and the right altitude on the right day so that we can we could be reliably boomless. it changes. it changes

due to air density or temperature or something like that. yeah. that's right. i mean, if you remember that like sort of, you know, middle school or high school physics experiment where you'd have a glass of water and you drop a pencil in it and the pencil looks broken because of how the light rays bend when they go through the water. what turns out sound rays bend two for very similar reasons. they've been towards where the speed of sound is lower, which means where the air is colder, which means upward. so as the boom comes off the airplane, it bends in the atmosphere. and this works because the atmosphere is not the same temperature everywhere. that's really cool. now i will remind you that you named your company boom. yeah. you know, i we've talked about this before. you know, we called it boom because we never thought that boom is going to be an impediment to doing what we're doing. and, you know, now we've demonstrated you can have supersonic flight with literally no boom. and, you know, i think it also just helps to remember that, that not all booms are created equal. you know, there are these stories you can get of broken windows that. yeah, if

you fly a supersonic jet 50ft over the ground at supersonic speed, it's going to be really loud. but by the way, if you fly a supersonic airliner, supersonic 50ft over the ground, the window wasn't the problem that day. right. and so these low altitude booms are that you get from military airplanes are not the same thing as a high altitude boom, because you're going to be literally ten miles away from the ground. and then these middle altitudes, at the right speeds, it can be entirely boomless. now you said. i think you said lightly towards the speed of sound. so there are airliners, i mean, you know, traditional boeings and airbuses that will come up closer to the speed of sound and you're going a bit faster. are you going to go faster than that? or is this the impediment, this, this sonic boom? oh, so today's airliners fly between 75 and 85% of the speed of sound and boomless. we will be able to be 50% faster. oh, that's a lot faster. it's a lot faster. that answers my

question. i was going to ask, you know, well, if you're only, you know, 20% faster, is that worth making, you know, an entire airplane over. yeah. no, this is hugely different. let me put it in context. let's imagine we're leaving the east coast. we're leaving, say, washington, d.c. at 8 a.m. we can be on the ground in san francisco, 8:30 a.m, san francisco time. that's incredible. right? now, i mentioned the concorde. and those of us who were, you know, airplane buffs when we were kids, we knew that, you know, the long, straight nose was great for pushing through the air. but when you were trying to land, they had to kind of tilt the nose down so they could see where they were going. but you've come up with a clever you have to do the same thing. you need that long nose, but you've got a clever fix. we have an amazing thing. it's called a camera and a screen, and we have. sometimes i joke, we've got the first practical application of augmented reality. the pilots get a virtual window through the nose. they basically just look through the screen. it's like they're looking right at the runway. there's a beautiful digital

overlay. tells them right where the airplane is going. there's a little green target, but the green target end of the runway is a beautiful landing every time. that's really cool. now, have there been you know, there's been a lot of changes in the federal government. have you had any any hiccups due to that because of inspectors or access to, to public data or anything? it's been tremendously positive for us. i mean, just to give you a little bit of the sense of last week, monday, we broke the sound barrier and introduced boomless cruise. tuesday, i was in the west wing and thursday a model of the overture airplane had had reached the president. and so i think what we're finding is that there is just tremendous excitement and honestly, tremendous bipartisan excitement about innovation, about rebuilding american manufacturing, about continuing american leadership in aviation. and that is that's something that whether we're in the white house or on the hill, like people are very excited to support. now you have learned what you need to learn from the

from the test flights. are you retiring the test airplane? and i will remind people, the smaller airplane that we're showing, you know, with these tests is a test airplane that will prove the concept of the bigger airplane, which is the artist's rendition. but are you have you learned everything you need to learn? yeah, we've learned everything we need to learn. and what would be a lot of fun to keep flying it. it's time to go all in on the airliner that you and i are going to get to fly on. that's cool. so we've done 13 total flights, and we've learned 100% of what we need to learn to build a supersonic jet that is safe enough to put a person on, that can fly faster than the speed of sound, and can do it without making any audible sonic boom. that's fantastic. and when are we taking this ride? when is i look out the window and there's an american airlines or a jl or whatnot? yeah. or united. those are the united. it was united i was trying. yeah. so our our target is to be ready to carry passengers by the end of 29, which means you're going to see it in the air at the end

of 28. now we've got a lot of work to do, but with with xb one, you know, getting there took a whole lot of not giving up getting overture. the overture airliner in the sky is going to require a lot more not giving up. but i think what we've seen now is it's success is success is possible. blake scholl i just i'm so excited. every time i get to talk to you, there's always something interesting that's happened as you move along. and thanks for updating us this morning. thank you scott, always a pleasure. press will be back in a minute. every morning we're moving the bay area forward by covering the stories that matter to you right here on today in the bay. every morning we're getting you prepared with our certified most accurate forecast, wherever you are. updating you on the latest in tech and politics, and finding the best way to get you where you need to go. so you take care of this and we'll take care of the rest. wake up with

particles, even though separated by vast distances, to remain connected. when one particle state changes, the other responds insntly. scientists say this breakthrough lays the groundwork for a quantum internet. it's also big news for quantum computing. doug is my go to guy on quantum computing. he joins us this morning. so, doug. so scientists got a quantum processor to send information to another computer through something that sounds like magic. but what does this mean? well, i think you should understand that the quantum industry, one of the things they're trying to do is build larger and larger systems, because there'll be more powerful and can do, you know, more useful work. so, you know, interestingly enough, the quantum industry is trying to use the techniques that people developed a couple of decades ago in the classical computing industry to create a really, really large quantum computer by

taking smaller machines and networking them together. and, you know, of course, we see that tremendously in these ai data centers that may have thousands and thousands of processors. so the quantum people are looking to do the same thing. okay. so i think of this as like intel cores, right? i mean, i might have a multi-core processor. this is a multi-core quantum processor. it's a little bit different than multi-core because then a multi-core, all the cores are on the same chip in the same physical cabinet. i'm actually talking about multiple processors where you actually have multiple racks or multiple cabinets, and they are connected by, in quantum case, they're connected by fiber optic cables. in classical computing, it could be fiber optic cables or could also could be, you know, electrical cables too. well, and talk to me about entanglement, though. i mean,

that's not cables. that's just like spooky magic. that's amazing. entanglement definitely is spooky. in fact, albert einstein called it spooky action at a distance. and, you know, it's hard to understand it intuitively, but it's sort of like thinking of two qubits that are like twins. you know, they they were born in the same place and one gets sent, you know, far away, let's say, to the next cabinet or to the next, next machine. but they can almost read each other's minds and. entangled qubits are like that. and, you know, one of the attributes of it, you know, if you talk to a physicist, you know, when you have a single qubit, you know, they have ways of mathematically describing it with complex numbers to exactly determine the state. but when you have entangled qubits, you actually have to look at both together. if you want to mathematically describe what

they're doing, you have to look at them together. so right, because they have a relationship with each other through time, well, not through time, but through space now. and i want to make clear, i mean, i think everybody's, you know, a simpletons our minds go to star trek, right. and, and the transporter room moving matter through space. this is moving information through space. right? that is correct. it's moving information through space. and the other thing to understand is when a lot of people hear about that, they think you can communicate faster than the speed of light. it turns out that is not true, that in order to actually transfer a, you know, valid information, you need to supplement that with other means that, you know, still limit you to the speed of light. so this is a big step forward though for by oxford. well, there are many companies that are working on this approach. it's very common

approach because in order to get a very, very large quantum computer, this is one of the things you'reoing to have to do. so a lot of people are researching this area. oxford definitely has has made some progress here. but don't don't think that they're the only ones. there are other folks that are working on the same thing. fair enough. and then last, last question, doug. and this is a hard one for you to answer, perhaps because we've been talking incessantly about ai. what excites you more about 50 years into the future? ai or quantum computing? well, i, i you know, i have to say a i'm sorry, quantum computing. you know, maybe i'm biased, but but one of the things that i think would be important for your audience to understand is when i think 50 years in the future about where quantum computing may have the greatest impact on society, i think it's the area

of what i call computational chemistry, where people doing drug discovery or developing new types of matter battery chemistry, carbon sequestration, all sorts of things that we use. it all relies on various chemical reactions. and, and, you know, coming up with new types of materials, what the quantum computer will allow people to do is exactly simulate the chemical reactions. it turns out that the chemists and the physicists, they know the math that would govern how the electrons attract each other and how the chemical reactions will go. but it turns out that the number of operations they would need to determine, for example, how a new vaccine would attack a virus would require a quantum

computer, the classical computer, the size of the state of alaska. and, you know, it's just beyond the capability of classical computing. quantum computing will be able to do that and change that. so we'll have a dramatic effect on all sorts of things that involve chemical reactions, drug discovery, for example. and that's going to have a tremendous impact on society. so i think that's going to be a really great thing. well, i look forward to seeing all the developments. doug fink, i appreciate you joining with us. doug fink is the editor of the quantum computing report. press here will be back in just a minute. when you want the best quality and safety, ask anyone who owns a honda why it's got to be honda drive, a new honda from just 269 a month. honda's are in stock and on sale. search your local honda dealer today. car accident. here's how berg wins kira's insurance offer $17,400

after hours to talk to us from israel. so good evening or good afternoon, whatever. it is your time. how does it work? i mean, is this is this purely computational? can i send any sort of photograph and you and your ai will figure this out? so the answer is pretty much yes. the great thing about our live memory, i think, is that really, it can take any still photo that you provide and it will reenact the scene. and the way it works is that the way ai is doing this this time is that it takes the photo. it identifies the objects that are in the photo people. some people are uploading different types of photos to us, but it can be people or it can be animals in some cases and it will understand, kind of visualize what's going on, understand what's going on in the photo, and then it will just reenact it into a five second video, kind of like anticipating or trying to guess how the scene would have continued from that

still photo. it is so cool. i saw one with a piano and so yeah, i says, okay, i think that's a piano. this is how you play piano. and okay, now you're speaking to a lot of people who are in silicon valley, and i think there are people out there who'd be like, oh, i could do that with midjourney. the key is, you know, not all of us can do that with midjourney. and then i kind of compare it to, yeah, you can bake a cake at home too, but it's easier to go to the baker and he has a better cake. i love this reference, but i'll tell you what, i think that one of the things it's true that ai today is getting more and more popular in the bay area and everywhere else. but i think that what we have done at my heritage is that we have taken ai, is that technology. it's important to mention it's not the goal, it's not because we just want to do things with ai. at my heritage, we're always trying to think. we are trying to help people document, preserve, share their family history. and one of the things we want to do is come up with the things that bring value to our customers and what they're

actually looking for. so when you're saying, i, there are so many things that comes along with that, but i think that what we are doing is that we're taking the technology or where ai is advancing towards or the different options that it enables, and then we're adjusting it and making it more suitable so that the end result fits the needs of what we are doing. which is again, talking about mostly historical photos, knowing how to handle better, like black and white photos, for example, or photos of lower quality. we have a big set of different photo tools that we give our users, like colorizing black and white photos automatically, or repairing scratches in old photos. you know that you have. and i think that's one of the reasons why people love our live memory, which is available on our mobile app, the ios and the android mobile apps, and it just allows you to take really any photo, any historical photo that you have. you just upload it, click a button, and then you get a five seconds, kind of like animation of what it was. i was

talking to you back on valentine's day, and we were talking about family trees, and you know it in a family tree. okay. you know, my great grandfather married my great grandmother, and then you move on. but if you do have a photograph, all of a sudden you realize these two people were in love. there's a, you know, a photograph in your example of a wedding, and it brings the wedding alive in a way where you think, oh, these young people who are either i knew as very elderly people or didn't know at all, they had a love story that might have been better than mine. i completely agree, i'll tell you something interesting about that. so we launched live memory about two months ago, and when we started it was just a button. you clicked it, you got a video a bit like about a month later we've made also it's possible to add like to add a special effect to decide what you want to happen with that photo in that five seconds video. so either you let the ai

choose and it will do whatever he thinks that it's best, or you can choose. for example, you have you mentioned, for example, a photo of a couple. so you can do kissing and they will kiss or they will hug. and you can imagine that around this time of year, these a the more popular effects. and people just love it. and because we're talking about it's very, you know, family oriented and very emotional, the type of products that we are providing. and we get those amazing emotions, like, for example, of people who only have like a still photo of their grandmother. that's it. they only have they've never seen a video of her. and they're one of those photos. and all of a sudden they're getting those five seconds clip of like, how that wedding day was and they're like bursting into tears. we love it. we just, you know, these are the reasons we're doing that for. and, you know, kind of the sky's the limit on here. i mean obviously they you know, you could take recordings some day old recordings, clean them up and say, oh, this is what my great grandfather sounded like. you know, at some

point we might get into the creepy level, but at this point it's still sort of bringing the family history alive. i think that what we're seeing and like, it's the type of are our customers are sharing with us the results that they're getting and th're posting it on our social media channels and sharing some personal stories, like the things that most commonly is usually like a customer will animate a photo, we'll create a live memory, and he'll immediately share the results with the family. and it becomes like kind of like a family discussion about that. and then, you know, the aunt has that piece of information to share about that. and then, oh, i remember you really like that cake. and it's so much funor us. we launched it before right around the holiday season, before the new year's and christmas. and people just loved it. and it was such heartwarming for us really to see the reactions that we got it. it is so fun to watch. well, redlands near is with myheritage. i appreciate you joining us this morning. thank you so much for
