In quantum error correction, stabilizer codes using a set of *commuting* measurements (such as the toric code or surface code) have been the go-to solution for topological quantum memories — despite the need for multi-qubit measurements. 1/7

Will there be Quantum Advantage in the next 5 years? If not, why (which theoretical and/or technical hurdles need to be overcome)? If yes, which industry will benefit first (academia counts too)?

What do you do if your measurement device is noisy, but you need to squeeze as much information out of whatever is about to hit your detector? You “reshape” the signal in a way that is optimal for detection. That way you can fit a square quantum peg in a round hole.

☃️Is it easy to find local minima?☃️ When a physical system is cooled❄️, Nature doesn't always find the ground state but finds a local minimum In arxiv.org/abs/2309.16596, we prove that a machine that can cool things to local minima is a universal quantum computer (1/9)

IQIM rides again! My colleagues and I are excited by this opportunity to make more great discoveries in our next 6-year cycle. Thanks, @NSF and @Caltech, for supporting @IQIM_Caltech, and thank you @whitnutt for the nice article. caltech.edu/about/news/cal…

I watched the @Barbie movie last week, then @Slate interviewed me about it. A surprisingly good read.

It's as close to official as we'll probably get: LK-99 is likely simply a ferromagnetic material, which explains its levitating properties, according to new research from Peking University. The room temperature superconductivity revolution will have to wait another day.

Confusion over the black hole firewall paradox accelerated a synthesis of quantum gravity with quantum information and quantum matter. It's cool that much of the recent progress has been driven by "up-and-coming theorists." quantamagazine.org/new-calculatio…

If you are ⁦@Comic_Con⁩ in San Diego this year, don’t miss this great panel about the benefits of getting scientists involved in the making of movies and shows (Marvel, Star Trek, Jurassic, and more). Some pretty big names in there. #ComicCon
