With relatively simple means, we created a massively entangled quantum state of more than 30,000 light pulses. This "cluster state" has the structure needed for universal quantum computation.

Here is an image of our 53 qubit processor. It is the first in our next generation, ready and being used on the cloud by our IBM Q Network members (quantum-computing.ibm.com).

It's time to concede that this was not, alas, the decade of supersymmetry. Hope springs eternal, but the terms of bets are finite ... I've got two to pay off.

Paul Ginsparg, founder of arXiv, just received a medal from American Institute of Physics. Congratulations! news.cornell.edu/stories/2020/0… He should receive many more. ArXiv started the open science revolution, and remains its strongest representative. arXiv.org

Can you ensure a daily update of covid numbers for Chicago, not just the 7d avg? As of today, the last update is from 6/24. Also, in the IDPH report, you can hover over the bar chart to read the daily numbers. Why can’t the Chicago report do the same? Mayor Brandon Johnson #AskDrArwady

This Tornado Watch is through the afternoon and early evening and means the ingredients are there for potential severe storms, including rotating ones with a tornado threat. Ensure you have a means to hear a warning is one is issued. #ILwx #INwx

Tasty brew.
