I won't be, but I wish I was alive to see the first test of an antimatter bomb.

That would be so cool.

!physics is producing large amounts of antimatter (about 1 gram) even feasible?

Not with our current tech

Antimatter occurs in the nucleus when a neutron or proton gets excited and one of its quarks is able to break the gluon bond with the other quarks.

But rather than actually departing the neutron or proton, the energy that is built up forms into a new quark-antiquark pair of, maintaining color-anticolor balance in a meson virtual particle.

The meson exists only briefly and either decomposes into other smaller particles and light waves or is absorbed into another adjacent neutron or proton.

In other words, no, not really.

costs $62 trillion for just one gram

Unlikely! But to heck with cost and feasibility. I want photon torpedoes, darnit.

Fun fact about that generation of bombs: they kept the fission pit outside of the bomb before dropping it. The crew literally had to handle and insert half the nuclear piece of the bomb in flight.

I think it was also the first weapon to use solid lithium deuteride instead of liquid deuterium.
