🥳 Glückwunsch an Dr. Philippe Faist @phfaist.bsky.social und Dr. Jürgen Schaflechner von der #FUBerlin zu ihren #ERCGrants! 🎉 Der @erc.europa.eu fördert die Projekte mit je 2 Mio. Euro 👏 ⚛️ QPhysComplex (Dr. Faist): tinyurl.com/ercgrant-fu-1 🗣️ Con-SA (Dr. Schaflechner): tinyurl.com/ercgrant-fu-2

So this just happened 🎉 I'm profoundly excited about what's ahead and deeply grateful for all the support that everyone provided along the way! #ERCCoG

We all have a favorite characterization of the thermal state: as an equilibrium state, via a maximum entropy principle, from the resource theory of thermodynamics, as a step in learning algorithms, among others. What is the analogous concept for quantum channels? 🎉 We've got an answer! ⚛️ 🧪 👇

I’m told the reason they didn’t invite a fifth Nobel prize winner on stage is that they would collapse into a black hole.

Exciting times ahead for the zoo! More info: errorcorrectionzoo.org/c/surface

Major update: The zoo is not just a repository, but also a taxonomy. Now, every code page has a visualization of the code's primary ancestors. 🧵

Submissions for QCTiP 2025 are now open.

You can now BibTeX the thousands of references mentioned in the zoo!

Rob Schoelkopf predicts that using dual-rail superconducting qubits (for which most errors are detectable) will reduce the overhead cost of quantum error correction by "orders of magnitude." podcast.the-new-quantum-era.com/41

Optimist: Cup is half full Pessimist: Cup is half empty Quantum information theorist: there is a larger Hilbert space containing a qubit which the cup is maximally entangled with

Being surrounded by incredibly skilled and likable scientists produces the extraordinarily stimulating environment I experienced at IQIM. Congratulations John for a well-deserved recognition and for cultivating this magical place. quantumfrontiers.com/2024/02/19/a...

Hard to think of a better place than pretty Les Diablerets to discuss quantum metrology with other metrology enthusiasts!

This one has been a long time in the making, and I'm happy to finally see it out. Thanks to my collaborators for their patience - Mischa Woods, @vva.bsky.social, Joe Renes, @jenseisert.bsky.social, & @preskill.bsky.social . journals.aps.org/prxquantum/a...

Recorded talks for the Sixth International Conference on Quantum Error Correction #QEC23 are now freely available! www.youtube.com/channel/UC1t...

Terrific summary by Earl Campbell of the exciting recent progress in quantum error correction! www.riverlane.com/blog/qec23-s...

70 years ago, Bryce deWitt forcefully made the case for pursuing a quantum theory of gravity in an essay which won the 1953 GRF essay competition. This year, I wrote an essay exploring the possibility that this may be the wrong direction. It lost. scirate.com/arxiv/2310.1... 1/

👋 Anyone need some codes? We've got 566 classical & quantum codes.

Hey quantum crowd! I made a quantum feed: bsky.app/profile/did:... Let me know if you want to be on the list for your quantum posts to be seen there by replying to this post. Share a link to your personal web page at your quantum lab, company or startup or your google scholar as a credential.

hello everyone 👋
