some brilliant UX / design examples i've stumbled upon in japan:

You know what I think about a lot? That time that Hayao Miyazaki was shown an AI demonstration and replied simply with “I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.”

I've put my lecture notes from my Fall 2022 Quantum Computation course online. math.mit.edu/~shor/435-LN/ I don't guarantee that there aren't any mistakes left in them, although I've tried to eradicate them all. If you find any, feel free to email me.

New experimental results out today with collaborators from Quantum Technology Laboratory! We measure the long sought-after cubic phase state that is obtained by applying the cubic Hamiltonian x³ to an initial squeezed state, by engineering the cubic gate explicitly! scirate.com/arxiv/2308.153… (1/7)

It turns out that sparkling water and raisins are *fascinating*. My daughter and I happened upon this effect playing together in the kitchen a long time ago, and I couldn't help but explore the system more deeply... 1/n arxiv.org/abs/2308.12927

Årets Nobelpristagare i fysik föreläser för oss efter (!!) att hon blev meddelad om att hon vann!!

Quality software deserves your hard‑earned cash Quality software from independent makers is like quality food from the farmer’s market. A jar of handmade organic jam is not the same as mass-produced corn syrup-laden jam from the supermarket. Industrial fruit jam is filled with

Why i've been particularly behind on emails : A serious re-addiction to coding , thanks to @openai. At the time of #ChatGPT release, I was working w/ Dr Donnie Keathley on the new course notes for MIT EECS' brand-new "6.2410 Quantum Engineering Platforms" ....

Last January, I noticed something peculiar in my 2yo’s bedroom that - after a year of obsessive reporting - led me to a profound cosmic revelation about what’s even possible in our universe. A 🧵.

Well, that's it. I've peaked in life having been cited in XKCD *and* making it into the alt text. Going to retire to nerd heaven now. xkcd.com/2886/

Today is exactly 10 years since the TIME magazine covered the greatest quantum computing company of all times (after Dulwich Quantum Computing), @DWaveQuantum. Let's take a trip down the memory lane and remind ourselves of the early days of quantum computing hype. content.time.com/time/subscribe…

Marie Curie did not have to fit 9 deliverabkes, 17 milestones and 44 tasks in a 24 months gantt chart as we, who got the grant in her name, have to do

#TsuchinshanATLAS from Weissenhäuser Strand, Germamy

I am incandescent with rage right now. I feel sick to the stomach. A US Vice President stood today on the soil of where so many Americans gave their lives to defeat fascism in Europe. He delivered a disgraceful speech that spat on their graves. Not that we should expect any

Støt den danske Ukraine komité - vis det ikke bare er snak. MobilePay 924084. Hver eneste krone går direkte til det ukrainske forsvar. Og del dette tweet for at hjælpe. Til så mange som overhovedet muligt.

NYU Professor Jonathan Haidt has written one of the most important books of our time, "The Anxious Generation", so I jumped at the chance to work with him on a rap video about the key ideas. The graphs come from Jon's lecture slides; pause and take them in, and shut the phones off!

Four years ago I woke up at 5 am from distant explosions. I asked my boyfriend if he heard them too, he said he didn’t and I should go back to sleep. I tried to calm myself down, went on the internet, it was silent, no news or explanations.
