I made some titanium components for a quantum computing company

recently. The very clever chap I dealt with spoke of instability in ion traps and magnetic field interference.

I gave him a very honest response about not understanding a f**king word of that, but send me a drawing and I'll have a gander.

I did feel quite chuffed when he was surprised that I could hold a 6 micron tolerance. I impressed a Quantum Computing Boffin.
