Episode 326: Dr. Aaron Breidenbach: Quantum Computing/Crystals/Animism/Atacama

Episode 326: Dr. Aaron Breidenbach: Quantum Computing/Crystals/Animism/Atacama
Dr. Aaron Breidenbach recently completed his PhD dissertation in Physics at Stanford. His doctorial studies focused on the growth and magnetic measurement of the crystals Herbertsmithite and Zn-Barlowite. His work went a long way towards proving that these crystals are "quantum spin liquids," a novel state of magnetic matter that has potential applications in quantum computing. These same crystals also grow naturally in the Atacama desert, where the local Atacamenian people hold rich animistic traditions which weave in their mountains and mummified ancestors through spiritual traditions. Sadly, these living mountains are currently being over-mined for Copper and Lithium. This process has led to many ecological issues, including the poisoning of the Atacamenian groundwater with arsenic. The cruelest irony is that Herbertsmithite, a strong candidate to the the silicon of quantum computing, is regularly found in toxic waste tailings from these mines. Aaron now is embarking on a journey to the Atacama to try to help restore these animistic traditions, bring balance to the land, and help advance the future of quantum computing.

Episode 301: Kuma Bwenze--Bwete/Iboga/Reconciliation/Spiritual Possession
Ikara retreat center is located in the southern zone of Costa Rica. Ikara is the western representative of Mboka A Nzambe -- one of the last traditional Bwete villages in Gabon. King Adumangana of Mboka A Nzambe invited Kuma to join the African village and be initiated as a Miobe Nganga. During his initiation, Kuma was taken deep into the Babongo territories (the home of the Babongo Pygmies) in Dibios to do his rite of passage Mweli before his initiation could be completed. Kuma was the first westerner to be initiated for this great privilege. King Adumangana wanted Kuma to be his advocate for the west and convey the knowledge, teachings, and spirituality of Bwete. In this way, the main aim of Ikara is to screen people who may wish to visit Mboka A Nziambe in Gabon. King Adumangana wants people to come and experience the traditional process of rebirth in its traditional manner. Ikara offers traditional Babongo Miobe Ombudi Iboga ceremonies as taught by Spiritual Father King Adumangana. All profits go directly to Mboka A Nzambe and the 7 Babongo villages supported in Dibois.
