Jap Staam making sense at the end though.

If this jinxes us you will be held responsible.

I hope this is how this pans out. But history hasn’t got me particularly confident of that

Feels like we’ve played Brighton about nine times already this season

Was it me or was he an Australian. Like bro, read the room.

Um… honestly, why did they get an Australian to announce that.

It definitely helps that spurs are awful, but it’s a step in the right direction

But they’re spurs. They could go back to back

How did you achieve this? Please can I also be friends?

But owning the vineyard means you get to drink the wine without actually having to touch the grapes or the soil. Farming generally conjures the image of a west country fella with dirt under his finger nails…

Should we dispense with the group stage and have it unseeded like the FA cup?

The Pinnacle Architecture: Reducing the cost of breaking RSA-2048 to 100 000 physical qubits using quantum LDPC codes The realisation of utility-scale quantum computing inextricably depends on the design of practical, low-overhead fault-tolerant architectures. We introduce the \textit{Pinnacle Architecture}, which us...

I've been asked several times to comment on arxiv.org/abs/2602.11457, which claims to reduce the qubit cost of factoring by 10x.

My take is that they demand a *lot* more qubit connectivity for that number. Your mileage depends entirely on how plausible you find those demands.

Our algorithm uses the smoothness of the reaction path to ensure overlap between ground states of consecutive geometries. As well as a filtered dissipative cooling primitive.

Smoothness is the key, I suppose.

In quantum chemistry and manybody physics, Transition-state geometries are (generally) the ones that we want to solve and the ones that are just too hard to approximate well classically. We’ve designed a protocol for ground-state preparation at these configurations

As I did^ I acknowledge that I misunderstood your response. I’d like to dwell on this for just a moment longer though, because I’m surprised that my asking a good faith question could cause this much offence. Truly, Migs, I never meant to β€œcome at” you
