Heh. I remember that one, and thinking, “No… no, you can’t possibly do that using a soap bubble, that’s not even quantum and you can’t do that in classical, how would the soap molecules know where to move?”
Well. I mean, it’s quantum. But the ground state is a lump of iron, or maybe a black hole, not a low-energy soap film, so I don’t think waiting for quantum annealing will help.

waves soap-covered wire so it settles into low-energy minimum
dies as it turns into iron
