Now that's a powerhouse of co-founders

You know you worked too much in QEC when you misread Senate in a news article for Steane.

Registration is now open for QEC26, to be held this June in sunny Santa Barbara, CA! See the registration page at qec-conference.org for a link. Also, the deadline for submissions is next Friday. Make sure to get those in and spread the word to friends and collaborators!

Have you ever wondered about the dimensionality of the massive Schwinger model with a two-dimensional, non-periodic electric field? Well, we counted it and proved that it follows the bisection of the Lucas numbers (oeis.org/A005248). This leads to incompatibility with Gauss's law stabilizer QEC.

QUITS now out in Quantum quantum-journal.org/papers/q-202...

Journeymen is a long-running organization that fosters healthy masculinity and starts education and mentorship early with teenage boys. Please consider donating through my page, where you can see how and why I got involved. @givebutter givebutter.com/c/circleup25...

After #SQuInT2025 concluded, @balintpato.bsky.social , Cole Maurer, & I opted for a post-conference discussion on quantum computing, its capabilities, public perception of it, and various geopolitical issues that have arisen recently. Recording available here: www.reverbnation.com/markwilde/so...

I feel very grateful towards the #QEC25 organizers and the QEC community! I had an amazing time, came out with a ton more knowledge, new collaborators, new friends, some great times with old friends, and even new paths towards job opportunities!

1/ 🚀 Super excited to launch PlanqTN — an open-source Python lib + interactive web app for exploring quantum LEGO-based QEC codes! 🎥 Intro video: youtu.be/TNnE3hReYVk 🔗 GitHub: github.com/planqtn/plan... 🌐 Studio: planqtn.com

We’d love to find more #QEC experts here on BlueSky and have created this starter pack to help connect the error correction community. It’s just a start – if you’re working QEC, please follow this account and message us. We’ll happily add you to the pack! go.bsky.app/RiZfVco 🧪 🧵[2/2]

This is a mega-thread of all Microsoft problems related to topological qubits. NOTE: I skip the numerous news reports and press releases, this thread is for serious _scientific_ and procedural materials First retraction: Quantized Majorana Conductance, from Nature www.nature.com/articles/nat...

These notes are great for a somewhat beginner level too - they helped me get intuition even before I started my PhD.

Great reference on the role and power of homology in constructing the surface code: notes by Dan Browne. drive.google.com/file/d/1AB0K...

Happy International Year of Quantum Science & Technology! #IYQ2025

In case you were ever confused by the Knill-Laflamme conditions for QEC codes - I drew a picture of it on the QC StackExchange quantumcomputing.stackexchange.com/a/40802/4986... #quantum

scirate.com/arxiv/2412.1... looks very interesting - I always found cellular automaton decoders fascinating. I guess if these result all hold - this might provide a way forward towards an even more scalable locally decodable surface code? I wonder what the catch is? Any thoughts here?

let this be my first #quantum post. Amazing trace, how sweet to sum all the diagonals, O_aa (oh-a-a)! No basis missed, all can come they'll sum to the same 1/4

A peek at some of my slides for quantum industry day at the Simons institute on Thursday, comparing 2014 to 2024. I find myself wondering if 2024 vs 2034 will show similar amounts of improvement. I think it could, if physical qubits keep improving in quality or capability (e.g. non-planar links).

I definitely had some introductory posts (skeets?) long months ago here but I can't see them on my timeline. Granted I haven't been active for a while. Do old posts get cleaned up on blue sky?

A very high quality podcast series on Feynman's life.
