A thread on knots.
Every knot K has a corresponding Jones polynomial V(t), a Laurent polynomial in one complex variable.
Computing the Jones is hard.
The Jones is a knot invariant:
if V neq V', then K and K' are topologically inequivalent.

Scientists from @Yale managed to improve the lifetime of an actively error-corrected qubit beyond the lifetime of the best passive qubit encoded in the system. 1/7 arxiv.org/abs/2211.09116
QEC has gone beyond break even! Logical error rate of the encoded information is for the first time higher than a bare reference rate. Paper by @v_sivak and collaborators @Yale_QI: arxiv.org/abs/2211.09116 1/5
They're all breakthroughs. Eventually, one last breakthrough will get us to practical quantum advantage and get all the credit. But before that, all the other advancements get us closer to the final push

Check out our work on implementing two different logical CNOT gates on two different #QEC codes. In the process, we found a logical CNOT outperforming the physical qubit CNOT! So awesome to work with the great people and technology at @QuantinuumQC! arxiv.org/abs/2208.01863
Are there exponential advantages in using quantum machines to learn about the physical world?🎯
We establish the affirmative through rigorous proofs + physical experiments on the Sycamore quantum processor in arxiv.org/abs/2112.00778. [📜1/10]
THREAD: Following our #BlackLivesMatter tweet on Monday, many members of our community have been in touch to ask - rightfully - what we are doing to help fight racism and inequality at Imperial and better-support our Black students and staff
I just met a little girl on the train and we were chit chatting until I said I am a scientist.
Her eyes lit up and she said she wants to be a scientist too when she grows up 🤩
Even though this story sounds too good to be true it did actually happen!!!

On Friday I spoke at a CERN workshop on gender and high energy physics. I shared the work of @PhysicsNews’ Juno Award, the @1752Group and other evidence-based institutional programs. The head of theory @CERN gave a 30 minute Damore-esque manifesto against #womeninSTEM.

Me: please just one more wish
Genie: no, I said 3
Me: please
Genie: no
