Excited to share our paper arxiv.org/abs/2604.16209 on ultra-high-rate codes co-designed for atom arrays! We co-design qLDPC codes with rates around 1/2, showing that they can reach good logical error rates under a circuit-level noise model. This was a fun project with Chen, Nishad, Casey and Andi.

Accepted submissions for QEC26 are out: qec-conference.org/2026/accepte.... Congratulations! If you are attending QEC, a few reminders below:

Excited to share our perspective article, written with Maddie Cain and Misha Lukin, on designing low-overhead fault-tolerant architectures: rdcu.be/eVTiB. The landscape is rapidly evolving, and excited to see where the field goes next!

We're hiring postdocs! Deadline is 15 Nov. We're also advertising Leinweber postdoctoral fellowships, which also have an earlier nomination deadline of 1 Nov. academicjobsonline.org/ajo/MIT/CTP-LI

QuEra is seeking a Head of Quantum Error Correction Architecture! Help shape the future of fault-tolerant quantum computing by leading a team of talented QEC experts and collaborating with our experimental teams. Apply here: job-boards.greenhouse.io/queracomputi... or reach out to me directly!

Submissions for QEC 2025 are now open through March 28. This will easily be the most exciting conference on quantum error correction yet! Conference homepage: qec25.yalepages.org EasyChair submission page: easychair.org/my/conferenc...

From a philosophical perspective, if quantum computing were somehow actually impossible, I think magic state distillation is a likely candidate where issues would appear first. So seeing it work experimentally at all is awesome. ...also I like that one of their circuits is sourced from a tweet.

Our holiday gift this year from QuEra is magic 🪄 We experimentally perform magic state distillation, a key building block of large-scale quantum computers, with distance 3 & 5 logical qubits on our newly built Gemini-class neutral atom computer arxiv.org/abs/2412.15165

Just moved here recently... Is there a way to get push notifications from certain accounts I follow? Many thanks for the tips in advance!
