I propose the inverse h-number, which is the max number of papers that cite your paper, that have more cites than your paper.

Our team will be at #APSUmmit25 March meeting, say hello! quantumai.google/apsglobalphy...

I am chairing #APSSummit25 session MAR-B18 about packaging. It will be awesome so you should attend! summit.aps.org/events/MAR-B...

I want to know who did the measurement that got us into this timeline

Wow I think this is a first. No new cond-mat.super-con submissions.

If you're an early-career faculty member (received their PhD within seven years of submission) in quantum computing, consider applying to Google's Research Scholar Program. The application process is lightweight and the grant comes in the form of an unrestricted gift. research.google/programs-and...

2 years ago I got nerd sniped into thinking about doing surface code QEC using iSWAPs, @craiggidney.bsky.social and I both found nice constructions. Craig and @mattmcewen.bsky.social pushed this even further. Today the Google team put a paper demoing these ideas IRL arxiv.org/abs/2412.14360

Over the past year I played a supporting role on experiments showing we have a flexibility in how we do QEC on a planar chip. We do a color code (arxiv.org/abs/2412.14256), and three interesting variations of the surface code circuit (arxiv.org/abs/2412.14360), all below threshold.

Two (!) papers today from Google QuantumAI: color code arxiv.org/abs/2412.14256 and dynamic surface codes arxiv.org/abs/2412.14360 both experimentally demonstrate beyond break-even QEC on Willow. @juliankelly.bsky.social @amorvan.bsky.social @aeickbusch.bsky.social Kevin, Alex, and the whole team!

🌳 Excited to introduce Willow, Google Quantum AI’s latest chip. Willow 5x’s coherence times, beats the Surface Code QEC threshold, and the time to reproduce Willow's RCS on Frontier supercomputer is estimated at 10^25 years⏳! 👇 thread #Quantum #Physics #Science blog.google/technology/r...
