Got https://t.co/2FJ5Dt8PF6 to make sure all my quantum computing has a dedicated site. Uploading experiments including circuit designs, screenshots, and full code. Coding it all with html by hand like the old MySpace days. It has a short explanation of what qubits are, an

I updated my arXiv 5-bit Shor-style ECC key break visual on Qwork (threejs code is open source on GitHub). It now shows the run’s top three key breaks with yellow spheres (as in the 6-bit run), and the side rotation gives a good view of the run’s interference lanes. Interact with

Happy to see this! Big congratulations to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis.
BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2025 #NobelPrize in Physics to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit.”

An easy way to think about this circuit is that it’s all about a phase relationship. If you understand this relationship, you’ll get the whole experiment and its code. Note, this is simplified but you should get the overall experiment if you understand. The problem is you don’t
