Unconditional!

Location: University of Toronto
Time: Unknown

Scene 1: He is explaining to me the expectations he has from his students as we are walking down the hallway. We enter the "Quantum Cryptography Laboratory"!. It is a huge laboratory with a lot of students working in it. As he is showing me around the lab he says: "Here we have more than one hundred students working on continuous variable quantum cryptography day and night! It is a competition and we want to be the first to implement it. Don't forget! No working on your own ideas! As long as you are here you should be focused just on this project. If we figure out that you are working on something else you will be unconditionally expelled from the university!!!."

Scene 2: It is a giant classroom. He is giving a lecture. I am sitting somewhere in the back, pretending that I am taking notes while I am actually playing with equations of general relativity and thermodynamics. I'm pretty sure one of these days I will find the answer!!

and I wake up!... It is still dark...
