What do you use to generate these neat surface code illustrations? I recently found a stackexchange thread where you replied saying you're writing svgs from scratch, is that still the case 😅?

thanks for sharing!

Thinking about a career in #quantumcomputing but don't have a #quantum #physics degree? 🤔 You might be surprised!

Our head of talent, Emily, shares crucial insights in her latest post, debunking common myths and offering practical advice for anyone looking to enter this exciting field...

Early Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing As quantum computing transitions into the fault-tolerant regime, understanding how best to utilize available architectures becomes paramount.

This perspective paper from 2024 uses it in the latter sense you describe (afai can tell), which also makes most sense for the name imo. I agree that the former is just FTQC.

Damn, I would have sounded so much smarter if I said something along the lines of: "what a nice coincidence that we have a golden euro-cad conversion rate." Chance missed 🥲

That's 13-15 qubits, nothing quantum Shannon decomposition can't handle! So I'm not too worried about that :) or am I missing something crucial here?

Oh nice! Wasn't aware, thanks!

Another way to view it: Great! Now we have a very good initial state in form of that MPS to run quantum algorithms on 🙃

the comment section is wild

Anybody with experience using / contributing to www.qeios.com ?

That's the most positive blog I've read from Scott Aaronson scottaaronson.blog?p=9425

PSA: papers from early 2023 are three years old now.

I can't stop laughing at this particular one 😂

lol

I will not tire of whining about overleaf and quantikz speeds

I didnt know this existed, thank you so much! Looks very solid, in particular, the tequila drawer looks amazing! Any connection to github.com/tequilahub/t... ot coincidence?

All I want for christmas is a (better) quantikz equivalent for @typst.app (and arxiv+journal support)

Using overleaf.com after typst.app just feels like going around in a horse-drawn carriage in 2025 - gets you from A to B, and is kinda cool and vintage, but just extremely slow and cumbersome.

complete darkness at 5pm is just not something I will ever get used to 🥲

To be fair the first week after switching back from daylight saving time feels like having one extra hour per day, but that never lasts long.

I totally get that some people prefer it. I just feel like true early birds by choice of profession still have to get up in the dark anyway 🤷

Wait, daylight saving time is summer time, right? That one, I love! But I guess that is not what you mean :D That "exact <boom> it's winter" moment is what hits me hard every year.

I heard someone say reverting daylight saving time in October is like "trading one hour of sleep (once) for five months of darkness" and now I cant unhear it.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG I DIDNT KNOW THIS WAS COMING SO SOON AAAAAAH *runs to closest bookstore*cancels all plans*

The 2025 QOSS Survey is Open! - Unitary Foundation Unitary Foundation

In case you haven't already: there is one more week to fill the @unitary.foundation quantum OSS survey for anyone using or developing qc software

The first novel thing I did in quantum computing was find a way add +1 to a register using O(1) space and O(n) gates. For 10 years I've wanted to know how to generalize that from x+=1 to x+=C... and I finally figured out a way to do it!
