Climbing Mount Everest Without Oxygen
The ascent of Mount Everest (altitude 8,848 m) by two climbers without supplementary oxygen in 1978 was a feat that astonished many physiologists; indeed, measurements of maximal oxygen uptake at lower altitudes suggested that it would be impossible.

متن کاملClimbing Mount Scalable: Physical Resource Requirements for a Scalable Quantum Computer
The primary resource for quantum computation is Hilbert-space dimension. Whereas Hilbert space itself is an abstract construction, the number of dimensions available to a system is a physical quantity that requires physical resources. Avoiding a demand for an exponential amount of these resources places a fundamental constraint on the systems that are suitable for scalable quantum computation. ...
