Check out my cover of Stevie Wonder's "Superstition", with lyrics about #quantum superposition. It's got guitar, popular #physics, and even #catvideos. What else could the internet want? #scicomm .

So stoked to see @infleqtion's CEO announce a materials simulation with logical qubits, in a nice collab with @nvidia. 🤘 This is a huge year at #Q2B24! Paper here 👉

Love seeing @preskill call out Rydberg atoms as the path to megaquop quantum computers 💪 #Q2B24

Just a friendly reminder that there was never any competition: NSYNC was always miles better than 98 degrees. You may hate me, but it ain't no lie.

SO 🙏AMPED🙏to finally share our quantum computing architecture @infleqtion with the world, here in preprint form. It's been a long time coming. This is a slick and capable machine that's been on a path recently to set and break its own fidelity records.

I hybridized my own Core Values:. Insight = curiosity + learning + wisdom + expertise + truth.Efficacy = meaningful work + impact + altruism + utility + making a difference.Capability = autonomy + competency + efficiency + proactiveness. What are yours?.

Ohio branding itself as the "birthplace of aviation" is so hopeless to me. Like, we haven't stopped the brain drain for nearly 2 centuries, so I guess we'll just lean into it

Yesterday my neighbor told me he put in his two week notice for "transition". You take either 3 months of full pay or 6 months of half pay. But you're not working. It's like a planned severance, his company preferring that you don't search for another job while you're working. 🤯.

RT @mcnees: A thread about the value of the fine structure constant in Quantum Electrodynamics. (1/137).

But @mcjpod is a stellar podcast - highly recommend checking it out! The host is a rockstar 🤘.

Just heard a new brand of quantum hype from Rigetti on @mcjpod. The CEO implies that QC is a climate solution, to energy-intensive data center computations. Nevermind that QC is unlikely to *displace* those computations. It'll likely only add new apps.

Welcome to Pat Tang, our new Chief Engineering Officer! I appreciate Pat's technical breadth - he dived deep on Rydberg physics with a few of us yesterday. He runs a charity building typhoon shelters in the Philippines, a reminder that "our problems are other people's dreams" 👌.

Another absolute banger from my old atom interferometry group, ruling out screened fifth forces. Measuring gravitational attraction with a lattice atom interferometer

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions" is such a stupid phrase. So is the road to heaven. Checkmate.

I'd love to find much more granular data for greenhouse gas emissions by components of each industry. Anyone know of a much more detailed view into this kind of plot? E.g. which sector does fertilizer production live in? Does it have subcomponents?

RT @TaraViswanathan: Had the most magical experience the other night. I was exhausted & hungry after a 14+ hr day of mtgs. Walked out of m….

It's fascinating how much stuff around us is just there to package ugly stuff into beautiful designs. The moulding and trim in your house is there just to cover up nasty seams. This scanner from @AnalogicAVSEC I passed at OAK is second to none. Look how cool this thing is!
