Congrats to Robert Niffenegger, a former post-doc from the Lincoln side of the group, who has moved a great distance to open his own group

The future of ions is omg! arxiv.org/abs/2109.01272

Excited for a return to in-person DAMOP! Come say hi to us! We’ve got talks from Susanna Todaro and Kyle DeBry Wednesday morning in H09, and a poster by Jasmine Sinanan-Singh tomorrow afternoon in F01

Is it *really* feasible that our intelligence was created by evolution alone? In my latest preprint with FieteGroup, QuantaMIT, IAIFI, I take a little, academia-sized chip out of this question. 🧵⤵️

Happy to finally discuss two recent projects in fundamental quantum algorithms out now on arXiv, the first from here Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the second with collaborators at NTT BRL in Japan! arxiv.org/abs/2304.14392 and arxiv.org/abs/2304.14383 (1/9).

Jim Hartle passed away. He wrote a wonderful book that helped me learn general relativity As a 22 year old grad student, I spent 6 months at the Institute for Theoretical Physics (ITP) at UCSB, where Hartle was the Director. I was intimidated by him: he was the Director!

Now out in Applied Physics Letters from CQE lead authors X. Shi (grad student), S.L. Todaro (postdoc), MIT-CQE member Colin D. Bruzewicz, John Chiaverini, Isaac L. Chuang and co-authors ” Ablation loading of barium ions into a surface-electrode trap” Read:pubs.aip.org/aip/apl/articl…
