Super-fascinating new article out, on the speed of particles in a forbidden region. For me, it raises more questions than it answers, which is of course my favorite kind of experiment. Kudos to the authors for a novel approach and technical tour de force!.

Finally read this fascinating article by Amanda Gefter -- kudos on an epic investigation and a gripping story!. Sad but also inspiring. Great move making much of his archive publicly available. .@NautilusMag.

Disgusting.Weaponizing the justice department, and research funding, against what the US has left of intellectual institutions. Against one of the real good guys, at that. His crime?.Not dismantling efforts in support of equity vigorously enough.

Fearing yet more war;.hoping for peace. May war-mongering leaders be removed, and innocents everywhere be safe. What else is worth saying?

RIP Ray Laflamme, gone too soon. Ray was a stellar scientist, the founding director of ⁦@QuantumIQC⁩ and ⁦@CIFAR_News's⁩ Quantum Information program, but more importantly a warm & generous human who built community and helped many. May his memory be a blessing.

Krister Shalm in the news again, with a new paper on the Colorado Random Number beacon. Well, we always did say that getting a paper into Nature was a roll of the dice. Always exciting to see our group members go on to lead such successful efforts!.

Sad news. A great scientist & author, of course, but also a kind man and thoughtful teacher. He will be missed.

I like to hope we're already doing this in Physics (at least in most groups. ), but a discussion around a more systematic approach like this would not be out of place. #AcademicTwitter #PhDEducation

Just sharing for the yocks. Seriously, YOCTOjoules. How many of you have even *heard* that prefix before?. That's 10^-5 visible photons, in case you're keeping count. "Fieldoscopy."

I was apprehensive about big airlines moving their routing to #QuantumComputers so early, but here we go. Lufthansa has inaugurated their new double-slit service!. (It feels like we landed safely, but that may just be because of that eavesdropping observer in the background.)

You know you have achieved peak fringe when someone publishes an April Fool's joke and you're disappointed they didn't cite your earlier work. ;).#entangled #sheep.@CERN. h/t @ABrodutch
