Today, we are excited to announce a strategic collaboration with Alice & Bob to leverage both our companies’ strengths and streamline the development and deployment of fault-tolerant quantum computing software. www.horizonquantum.com/updates/news...

We’ll be showing a preview of Beryllium at Q2B. Beryllium is an object-oriented language that allows developers to build ever higher levels of abstraction. If you are at Q2B, you can visit the stand for a demo of Beryllium and more.

Delighted to see this paper finally out. I had the initial discussion with @aspuru.bsky.social that set us on this path well over a decade ago. Well done to my co-authors who did all the real work.

Now I have a quantum computer. Ho ho ho.

If you're at #APSSummit25 and interested in what we're doing, drop by the stand to say hi to the team. Unfortunately, I can't make it myself, but you're in good hands with Philip, Angelina, Jessica, Pooja and Denis.

You know you’re getting old when artefacts from your youth start showing up in museums.

At #Q2B Silicon Valley 2024, our CEO @jfitzsimons.bsky.social unveiled new capabilities that are now integrated into Triple Alpha, concluding the initial steps we are taking towards building a quantum operating system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rl3T...

I'm in Palo Alto for a few weeks. Anyone around?

Since there is less than an hour left in 2024 here, I guess I need to make a new year prediction for quantum computing for the coming year. Here it is: now we're past the error correction threshold, we're going to find that qubit lifetimes will increase super exponentially with time.

Spotted at a cablecar station in Tromso, in the very north of Norway. The hazards seem to be slip, trip, fall from a height and James Bond.

Another year, another Q2B, another reason to visit @computerhistory.bsky.social. Who’s going to be first to get a dilution refrigerator on display there?

Our paper on distributed blind computing is out on Arxiv! In short: we performed gates on our spin qubits remotely using photons without our nodes knowing what we did - all thanks to distributed matter-light entanglement 🥳

I’ve convinced our marcomms team that quantum twitter has been moving over here.

It took me longer than I am prepared to admit to come up with this dumb joke.

I had the chance to visit Bluefors today in Helsinki. CQT may have made Singapore the coolest place on the equator, but I can’t help thinking that there is a reason Singapore didn’t spawn the world’s leading manufacturer of dilution refrigerators.

Delighted to share a short video on our journey at Horizon Quantum from Bloomberg and HSBC. youtu.be/qBiDyd4wRyc?...

Question for quantum bluesky: Which PhD students are doing the most interesting QC work at the moment? All the people I thought were PhD students now have tenure.

If you’re a quantum physicist, you should watch Oppenheimer. I have no time for the Oppenheimer-envy that so many in AI seem to be experiencing. The parable of Oppenheimer for physicists is about the weight of the work of those that went before. It’s our Iron Ring.

Ok, since the quantum computing crowd mostly haven’t arrived yet, maybe it’s a sign I should shake up who I follow. Who’s worth following on here? Science, tech, startups or just generally interesting or amusing.

So, what are the chances of getting a good quantum community here?

4th of July seems like an auspicious date to join Bluesky.
