"CEO said a thing!" journalism is also very popular in quantum computing. karlbode.com/ceo-said-a-t...

Crazy LinkedIn occurrence of the day... I hope no one in the field feels compelled to pay for recognition of their “influence”. Especially not in a gendered setting

Quantum navigation system for trains encounters leaves on track.

Happy to hear that we will finally have reliable trains here in the UK thanks to the new quantum navigation system!

Today is a bad day for conjectures... "A counterexample to the strong spin alignment conjecture" arxiv.org/abs/2603.25410 "The 27-qubit Counterexample to the LU-LC Conjecture is Minimal" arxiv.org/abs/2603.25219

Get ready for a "TRANSPARENT tactical battlefield" thanks to quantum security! Report by @amaragraps.bsky.social from the 1st Quantum Security Defence World Symposium.

Love this! Also, it is becoming increasingly clear that the only answer to AI slop in academia is switching all knowledge dissemination to hand-crafted zines.

FEMA official claims to have teleported to a Waffle House. “Teleporting is no fun. You know it’s happening, but you can’t do anything about it, and so you just go, you just go with the ride. And wow, what just an incredible adventure it all was.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

In 2021/22 IonQ, Rigetti and D-Wave went public via SPAC mergers. This year Infleqtion and Horizon Quantum did the same, and Xanadu, IQM and Pasqal are in the process. Time to re-watch this video! www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtDw...

Smells delicious!

Gilles Brassard explains how he met Charlie Bennet on a beach in 1979. The lesson here is that next time you see somebody on a beach who looks like a cult leader, do not hesitate to approach them to explain how quantum money works. You might both get a million dollars one day!

A must-read! "Personally, I have never thought that to understand nitrogenase we would first have to build a quantum computer, otherwise I would not work on the problem!" --Garnet Chan

When you forget to apply Pauli Z before attending Oscars.

Why is nobody selling a 1+1 QRAM value pack where both sticks are fake? This would offer a desperate psychological relief to many people working on quantum algorithms that require QRAM! www.tomshardware.com/pc-component...

I am surprised to see this and hope the arXiv stays nonprofit.

"This book started out life as an attempt to write a short (∼ 35 pages) paper based on that talk. [...] At a certain point I had to admit that this was a book rather than a paper." "In fact, this book consists of two books..." arxiv.org/abs/2603.12076

The hubris of Silicon Valley laid bare. Wondering what the next generation of quantum technologists will be like after everyone moves on to quantum once the AI bubble pops.

BREAKING: For the first time in 35 years the Ig Nobel ceremony will move to Europe. "There are no immediate plans to return the ceremony to the US." www.theguardian.com/science/2026... Food for thought for conference steering committees.

"Here, we show that the basic structure of quantum logic can be identified in standup comedies and sketches." Next time you hear a joke, you can't laugh about it unless you first analyze it with quantum logic.

What was that famous Feynman quote again? "Nature isn't classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you'd better... oh, wait a second... just ask Garnet Chan and he'll simulate it for you on a classical computer!"

10 years after its founding, driven by the energy, enthusiasm, & dedication of the community @quantum-journal.bsky.social quietly published paper #2000 some days ago. At least I think this is a big deal, big shout out to the founders & all authors, reviewers, editors, board members & contributors!

Some quantum info researchers are reluctant to learn about non-CPTP maps, but are ultimately left with no Chois.

Love this Better Offline episode where Ed Zitron @edzitron.com and Cal Newport @author-calnewport.bsky.social discuss issues in current AI reporting. "Vibe reporting" and "hype laundering" are common also in quantum computing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=85uX...

Dulwich challenge: wear The Norwegian Olympic Curling Team’s Pants for your next QIP talk! www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/f...

Next time you start something and don't finish it, you're behaving quantum!

I wish every popular science communicator and journalist would explain quantum teleportation like Bill Wootters does.

so Zapata patented QIR... the project that got started as a collaborative + open standard by multiple orgs (none of with was zapata). First, why were they granted this patent, and second... wtf Zapata, and third, I thought they turned into an AI company? investors.zapataquantum.com/news-release...

It's not easy to work for Jeff Bezos these days. Sending prayers to John Preskill @preskill.bsky.social, Fernando Brandao and others at Amazon Quantum, and hoping it won't go down like Washington Post. 🙏 Luckily quantum is a priority for Trump (unlike free press)! www.theguardian.com/media/2026/f...
