#apsmarch drinking game idea: take a shot every time a presenter shows their simulations on IBM quantum hardware.

New papers on supremacy now explicitly anticipate (and try to take credit for?) faster numerical simulations. See for example this new DWave paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2403.00910…

Life update! In the fall I'll start as a Junior Fellow at the Society of Fellows at Harvard University and an IAIFI fellow at MIT. Looking forward to new adventures with folks across Kempner Institute at Harvard University Harvard SEAS MIT Mathematics and Harvard Physics. Please reach out if/when you're in Cambridge 🙂.
