I am just quoting the company. They DON'T say they use an algorithm, they say they use an optical signature. I made both words CAPITAL letters because you keep insisting QMC is doing what everyone else is doing, which is the one thing QMC DOESN'T do. QMC is bulldozing new paths, its own path.
There's not a scintilla of Truth in your retort. What else do you build off-site indoors? Prefab walls!
If you're saying Rice U was talked out if suing QMC, I say that's fantastic! That's leadership, for whatever reason. I assume the best, that it was done amicably.
Thanks for providing my point!
ROFL!!!!
Like your DD is calling all the Hays County Realtors to track down where Squires lives!
Like he couldn't buy property under any number of types of ownership.
I guess the difference spelled out by QMC is that they use a tamper-proof OPTICAL SIGNATURE that can be used with common current technology to be read, instead of an ALGORITHM. Quantum Computers are predicted to someday soon be able to break or hack any algorithm so you prepare for the future by getting an optical signature tamper-proof today.
IMO
Yes, early on when the project was announced as 125,000 sqft there was an illustration.
No idea what config the new 75000 plant will be.
Anti-Counterfeiting Excerpt from Today's Quantum Dot Article -
What They Are, How They Are Made, And How They Are Used
Anti-Counterfeit, Supply Chain, and Track and Trace
A new and novel use for quantum dots by Quantum Materials Corp. is anti-counterfeit and brand protection applications. Due to the fact quantum dots can create exclusive, unique, and uncopiable, optical signatures that can be read by off the shelf scanning technology they are now at the leading edge of physical and digital security. Because of the dots extremely small size and durability they can be integrated on a tamper proof molecular level into almost any physical material, including metal, glass, fabric, liquids, inks, plastics, and many more. The unique optical signatures are registered on the QDX™ Platform blockchain which creates an immutable identification and record of the optical signature and whatever item it is molecularly bonded with creating an end to end tamper proof anti-counterfeit, supply chain, and customer journey (ie returns, warranty) tracking capabilities.
Facts are blockchain biz announced in August 2019 and India announced November 2018.
I haven't seen anyone update the area photos since last month of the site.
Balchin announced because of the weather and other unknown factors, according to they are pre-building wall components offsite so they can be attached to a frame and progress quicker when ready.
And what are they building? An at least 75,000 sqft plant for QD Manufacture, QDLEDs and SSL, QD Displays and India's first Quantum Dot Solar Cell Plant - QDSC.
Is that all? No! Read The QMc essay today on Linkedin on Quantum Dots to get an insight into other possible products being developed. Written by QMC people: Krishna Kowlgi, John T Hartigan, Stephen Banks. Click the link below.
What They Are, How They Are Made, And How They Are Used
Both the Assam India and Blockchain endeavors effectively started in 2019.
Past history back beyond that is truly irrelevant.
Seriously they're not consumer electronics of the type sold at CES.
QMC's business is license and royalties.
Qamronics will make and sell solar for the JV. That's where solar revenue would come from, along with that from Displays, SSL, QDLED, QLED, Sensors and whatever else is licensed.
For the third time, only consumer electronics are sold at CES. Consumer Electronics Show. C E S.
Not solar.
Not blockchain.
There is not a scintilla of Truth in any of your fecetious arguments.
There is not a scintilla of Truth in any of your POS arguments.
So what if its in a Library?
Whats important is with WHOM Jay Williams, QMC CTO had the one on one discussion!
Jay Boisseau
AI & HPC Technology Strategist at Dell Technologies, Director of Austin Forum, Founder of Austin CityUP, CEO at Vizias
Whoa! thats pretty impressive! A top executive at Dell, a strategist that covers Blockchain and AI. No need to go to CES, LOL!
You think Dell is the equivalent of (quote) a local cub scout pack? ROFLMAO
You think Blockchain is dead when our CTO is having a one-on-one with Dell's Technology Strategist?
Really?
Really?
No, I mean, Really?
If QMC wants to exhibit/attend Blockchain Expos, they will
If they don't, they have their marketing accomplished by other means.
For example, presentations, like the one for PMI they talked about in the fall.
I leave it for them to decide what way is best.
That's what Hartigan was hired to do and he deserves time to make it happen.
You don't know.
We'll all find out when QMC lets us know.
Everything else is conjecture.
I resent you calling it intentional.
I posted what was relevant to QMC.
That's all conjecture.
True there are a number of companies in the Williams Technology Group but you can't say he is dividing his time. How many companies does Elon Musk own? Is any investor at Tesla complaining?
QMC keeps on keeping on!
John Hartigan Chief Revenue Officer at Quantum Materials Corp tweeted this today -
Come by the Austin Central Library tonight at 6 PM! You will be glad you did... #quantum #blockchain #solar #qdxtrusted #qled
Top Tech Trends for 2020 (and Beyond)
Technology is fundamental to most every aspect of our society—so much so that we sometimes take for granted how transformative some current technologies are, focused more on "what’s next?" In 2019, we saw an explosion of interest in AI, a leveling off of blockchain, and the growth and promise of IoT still remains on the horizon.
What technologies and innovations are poised to amaze us in 2020--to change our lives, business, communities, and society? Which technologies will become mainstream, leading the way to still more new ideas and innovations? (Hints: cybersecurity, nanotechnology, and autonomous AI-powered things might be discussed… among others.)
In this annual Austin Forum tradition, two of Austin’s leading technology experts, Jay Boisseau and Jay Williams will separate the hype from reality and share their insights and expectations of the Top Technology Trends for 2020. Come learn what your company needs to know to adapt, innovate, compete, and contribute in 2020 and beyond.
Jay Williams is CTO of QMC.
Jay Boisseau is AI & HPC Technology Strategist at Dell Technologies,
Yes I posted a better answer than that because on this board someone always jumps on the slightest mistake.
All the buyers at CES are there to buy for distributors, chains and retailers.
They are not there to buy something that they know nothing about and not a retail product.
Blockchain expos are many and enormous:

Its not a blockchain expo. There may be companies that have some connection to blockchain but you don't exhibit there to sell blockchain.
------------------------------------
Quote from CES: With more than 4,000 exhibitors, CES showcases products that span the consumer technology ecosystem.
There may be 1/tenth of 1 percent companies at CES that represent Blockchain in some form.
Its not a blockchain expo. There may be companies that have some connection to blockchain but you don't exhibit there to sell blockchain.
No blockchain at CES.
JUST CONSUMER PRODUCTS.
LOL All this fuss!
I just FYI that the QMC CTO is having a conversation with some tech guy from Dell Corp tomorrow for the Austin Blockchain group and that's it!
Jay Williams, QMC CTO and some guy from Dell one-to-one tomorrow discussing
Tech Trends 2020 (And Beyond)

Its not necessary to produce commercial quantities in a temporary lab Only gram production is necessary to get All potential user small amounts to continue their research
No need for commercial production now but we can all understand the advantages of getting a head start so when commercial production begins products are ready to go!
Your example is not what I described so it is a false argument.
In your argument the royalty is paid on the QD only which is the same numbers as a sale. Not what I said!
We don't know the royalty rate but new QD products of any sort would command a premium price and royalty.
EVL, nice posts today,!
Nanosys doubled their production and the only way they could justify it was to lower their prices per gram and produce commodity priced volume.
That's a strategy proven doomed to failure as the QD film display industry cannibalizes it's profits in a race to the lowest prices and smallest margins in order to compete. We have already seen most of the smaller factories close because they can't compete due to low profit margins.!
Squires thinks long range and in the best interest of the shareholders and did not get sucked into this losing path. You can read in the Jan 2019 shareholders letter that the new strategy is gaining licensing and royalties deals with long term JVs. That describes the India deal. QMC gets the true value of the QD in the end product through royalties. That's the business plan.
True! We have all seen the video of the reactor sited in a small 1000sqft lab in San Marcos. Would a local University or large client company have room to spare?
Problem solved!
QD production prior to facilities construction completed.
LOL. EASY PEASY!
The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.~ Carlos Castaneda
The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes. ~ William James
Great minds think alike!
According to legend, a reporter found Mark Twain, and asked him what comment he had about the rumor that he was dead. As the story goes, Mark Twain replied, Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
Same deal with rumors of QMCs demise!
LOL
Doesnt matter if you asked the CEO politely if the intention is to malign the CEO.
Can't separate one from the other. That is blatantly hypocritical, don't you think?

If you can’t prove anything, throw dirt on people! Your post is decidedly incorrect!!!!!!
In Post 82315, I made the point that saying a photon is a photon, over and over, loses validity because it does not consider what else can be done with a photon with manipulation, and because it is based on a rigid frame of reference that does not allow the possibility of things outside your knowledge. It assumes no other possibility, and that one has more knowledge than inventors and scientists. Unless one thinks they know everything!
As Aristotle said, in effect, "The Whole is Greater Than the Sum of It's Parts". I gave examples such as a watch, a living human and the quantum dot:
Why I am right in saying the elements of the QD (PLQY, FWHM, Stokes Shift, and any other component) of the Anti-Counterfeiting QDX Quantum Dot have to be considered collectively as a whole rather than as their individual components.
The argument against me is that each component by itself is not a differentiator, it is just something that can be measured. That argument is taking what I said out of context. I never claimed I was depending on one component to make my argument. For example, saying a photon is a photon, over and over, loses validity because it does not consider what else can be done with a photon with manipulation, and because it is based on a rigid frame of reference that does not allow the possibility of things outside your knowledge. It assumes no other possibility, and that one has more knowledge than inventors and scientists. Unless one thinks they know everything! BTW, I am not claiming to know everything, I am always talking of possibilities.
I have continuously claimed in multiple posts that the elements have to be considered as a whole and none have refuted that claim, instead saying the individual components, which by themselves can be duplicated, invalidate my claims.
One of the greatest minds of all time, Aristotle, agrees with me.
Aristotle (/'ær?st?t?l/;[3] Greek: ???st?t???? Aristotéles, pronounced [aristotél??s]; 384–322 BC)[A] was a Greek philosopher and polymath during the Classical period in Ancient Greece. He was the founder of the Lyceum and the Peripatetic school of philosophy and Aristotelian tradition. Along with his teacher Plato, he has been called the "Father of Western Philosophy". His writings cover many subjects – including physics, biology, zoology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, aesthetics, poetry, theatre, music, rhetoric, psychology, linguistics, economics, politics and government.
One of Aristotle's most famous equations sources from this quote:
Aristotle, Metaphysics 8.6 [=1045a]
“Concerning the challenge we just faced about how to describe things in numbers and definitions, What is the reason for a unity/oneness? For however many things have a plurality of parts and are not merely a complete aggregate but instead some kind of a whole beyond its parts, there is some cause of it since even in bodies, for some the fact that the there is contact is the cause of a unity/oneness while for others there is viscosity or some other characteristic of this sort. But a definition [which is an] explanation is one [thing] not because it is bound-together, like the Iliad, but because it is a definition of a single thing."
In today's idiom it translates to the well known quote attributed to Aristotle, but not literally said:
"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts"
There are many examples:
A quantum dot has many component atoms of different types. Each atom by itself is just an atom, but the core, shell, and ligands give it powers beyond other atoms and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
The brain, the heart, the lungs by themselves do not work, but collectively within a body they work together and together are greater than the sum of their parts.
A watch may have hundreds of parts, but they don't work as a watch unless all the parts work together within the watch as a whole. One can say the whole watch is greater than the sum of its parts.
The QDX QD is the sum of all it's parts collectively that make it's tamper proof and anticounterfeiting abilities possible. it is about differentiation of the QD from others and it has to be something collectively that is immutable.
Kurt said:
Just woke up. I have a great answer but you will have to wait for it til I can write it later.
Busy now. Check back this afternoon.
Ha! I knew you would take everything out of context! That's why I said the PLQY, the FWHM and other possible differentiators like Stokes Shift had to be considered COLLECTIVELY! You didn't do that do your entire post is wrong!
Ted, I opened that post saying it was speculation. What's you objection to that?
Also I start out saying that the elements I mention have to be considered "collectively" not individually and out of context like Kurt did. I said---
My post says it is about differentiation of the QD from others and it has to be something collectively that is immutable. Clearly there is a difference between photons in quantum yield, in FWHM, and things like Stokes Shift..
It's more than possible that the QDX QD is the sum of all it's parts collectively that make it's tamper proof and anticounterfeiting abilities possible.
