EeroQ device to trap and control electrons

New from EeroQ in Physical Review X: controlling and sensing of single electrons above superfluid helium at temperatures above 1 K! An important step on the long journey to aid efforts to develop large-scale quantum processors.

Localized statistics decoding for quantum low-density parity-check codes - Nature Communications Quantum low-density parity-check (QLDPC) codes offer lower overhead than topological quantum error-correcting codes, but decoding remains a key challenge for scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing....

Working on LSD was fun! - Our paper on Localized statistics decoding (LSD) for qLDPC codes is now in print.
LSD is a highly parallelizable, reliability-guided inversion decoder that exploits the clustering of errors. Think of it as a parallel version of OSD.

How would you respond if your lab got destroyed by a missile?

I remember getting a $300k grant 10 years ago to perform non-abelian braiding in 2 years

It is funny, but it is also sad. "The people" want miracles from science, right now, and for free. If one is achieved, they move on immediately and just want more, different, fresh like distracted children.

I'm curious about the sudden surge in QT/QC news. It can't just be due to the end-of-quarter reporting, can it?

On Friday I made my first-ever calls to congress to oppose funding cuts to NSF. It was super easy — it took just a couple minutes, and I read off a script provided by Save NSF (www.savensf.com). Afterwards, I felt good. The pervasive sense of powerlessness was held at bay, at least temporarily.(1/8)

that’s perfect! thank you!

Can you join if you work in QC hardware and want to follow the latest developments? Or is it only for folks working on QEC.

Exclusive: NSF faces radical shake-up as officials abolish its 37 divisions Changes seen as a response to presidential directives on what research to fund

Exclusive: National Science Foundation staff were told today that the agency’s 37 divisions—across all eight directorates—are being abolished and the number of programs within those divisions will be drastically reduced.

Post from PO about NSF

An NSF PO on its upcoming 75th anniversary: "In nature, systems evolve towards minimum of energy, following the laws of physics. In the US today things evolve to a location of maximum pain, violating the laws of the land." www.linkedin.com/posts/tomasz...

YouTube video by 3Blue1Brown But what is quantum computing? (Grover's Algorithm)

Great explanation of the basics of quantum computing and Grover's algorithm by 3Blue1Brown. He also addresses the common misconception of "exponential parallelism".

Genuinely unclear, but many NSF staff have wondered if it is designed to impound funds and reduce the budget this FY, in preparation for extremely large cuts next year. If you pause funding long enough, you just won't be able to get it all out the door. Unused money helps justify a larger cut.

Exclusive: NSF stops awarding new grants and funding existing ones US science funder also plans to screen grant applications for compliance with ‘agency priorities’.

BREAKING: NSF has frozen all grant funding, as of yesterday. It's unclear when they will resume funding awards, or why the pause has been put in place. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

what was the final moment you realized you had to leave twitter?

(even if you occasionally relapse)

OK figured it out. Sent you a DM as well.

trying to make lists on bluesky

I'm working on slowly building a list of the NYC quantum community (I travel between here and Chicago) to keep track of the growing ecosystem. Who should I add? Reply or DM!
