The Jackson-Hole origin suggests to me a Tech M(b?)illionaire launching
from their second (or third) home in the Tetons (claiming existence
since 2015?)...  the LANL connection seems obvious, but might be
specious?  Or maybe a LANL QC kinda staffer got wooed by them, helping
them re-anchor here?

Time will tell (or not)!

> No I puzzled over that for a bit, but I couldn't figure out who it would be, LANL-wise.   There are a bunch of aspiring software companies that do various sorts of physics-inspired optimization and machine learning, but I can't imagine a hardware company getting off the ground for less than $100M.
