Canada has a growth problem. The economic momentum that propelled the country through the 20th century has faded under Justin Trudeau and the misguided policies of the Liberal/NDP coalition. search.app/nDB6bsdGyABpQF…

DISSECTING A BLACK HOLE I’ve designed a new kind of diagram for understanding black holes — and made a beautiful poster to show it off. The key idea is to show the many different layers of a black hole, each with their own unique properties. Let's dive in! 1/🧵

Pager companies have taken planned obsolescence to the next level.

Alfred Menezes has a Crytpography101.ca page with courses including Crypto 101: Building Blocks and Kyber (KL-KEM) and Dilithium (ML-DSA): cryptography101.ca/crypto101-buil… cryptography101.ca/kyber-dilithiu…

I mean, yeah, cuz maybe needed in the near-term right? thehackernews.com/2024/09/google…

If you’re interested in getting started in cryptography, check out the crypto 101 course by Dr. Alfred Menezes from UWaterloo. cryptography101.ca He’s planning on publishing the lectures from his Applied Cryptography course, which was my introduction to the field.

At Quantum World Congress , John Burke, the Pentagon’s director of quantum science, emphasized the impact of #quantum technology on national security. 🔐 Read more: thequantuminsider.com/2024/09/18/gov…

The complexity and long term bets quantum hardware companies have to make might break down cross company barriers - I can imagine that multi-QPU architectures might be the future. E.g. with Google QPUs for fast compute surface code, IBM/ion trap QPUs with qLDPC code for memory.
