In their words
The transcript segments this claim was taken from
“Noise floor experimental data I think is very important. Most experimental data in literature have such high noise floor that it's actually usually worse than DFT accuracy. Because you know when different people do experiments, different labs, different parts of the world, different times, it really introduces so much fluctuation to the result.”Play from 52:53Report a misattribution
