>I wonder if the next step - designing a thermonuclear device given an A-bomb And then there's the theoretical possibility of designing a thermonuclear device without the A-bomb part. I remember skimming through a paper from someone from CERN about it; https://arxiv.org/pdf/physics/0510071.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/physics/0510071.pdf is the guy, but I'm not sure that's the exact paper.
