Room temp superconductivity is smelling even fishier.

The purported room-temperature, ambient pressure #superconductor #LK99, which created a lot of buzz, turns out to be an #insulator with a small amount of diamagnetism! Read this article by Dan Garisto in nature for more. LK-99 isn’t a superconductor … nature.com/articles/d4158…

C’est la rentrée du quantique, avec le France Digitale Day et la sortie du premier épisode post-été des entretiens Decode Quantum, toujours avec l’amie Fanny Bouton 🤖. Dans ce 62eopus, nous recevons Sabine Mehr et Stéphane Requena de GENCI et HQI. oezratty.net/wordpress/2023…

"The U.S. must also recognize how anti-science rhetoric has emerged as a new lethal force and find mechanisms to halt its advance." "The unvaccinated were targeted by a well-financed and newly politicized anti-vaccine movement." latimes.com/opinion/story/… by Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD Los Angeles Times

“Understanding Quantum technologies 2023” is now available, free to download (6th edition, 3rd in English). 1,364 pages, 7 books in one ! All that you want to know and learn about quantum science and tech in a 360° fashion. oezratty.net/wordpress/2023…

Salle comble pour les deux journées QuantAlps, la fédération de recherche sur les technologies quantiques de Grenoble. Plein de talks scientifiques de haut vol ! quantalps.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/events/quantal…

Cela fonctionne avec de l’ail cuit, pas de l’ail cru :) !

Un nouveau mois d'actualités de l'écosystème quantique en France et ailleurs, toujours avec Fanny Bouton 🤖 Bouton d'OVHcloud et moi-même. C12, Kwan-Tek, Atom Computing, Pasqal, IonQ, IQM et Fujitsu au menu. Toujours disponible en audio et en texte. oezratty.net/wordpress/2023…

Dans cet épisode de Quantum avec Fanny Bouton 🤖, nous voyageons beaucoup avec les Pays-Bas, l’Espagne, le Vatican, Singapour (#QEI), les USA et le Danemark. Et Quandela, Photonic, Alice & Bob, Amazon, IQM, OQC, Xanadu, Alibaba et Multiverse. oezratty.net/wordpress/2023…

Doubt is scientific. Certainty is not. It is dogma. I never listen to those who tell me they know what is going to happen. They are selling a product and leave no space for those that question them.

C’est le problème avec tous ces conseils à haut niveau : le manque de temps pour approfondir les sujets. La solution passe par le temps en amont, avec les cabinets ministériels et PR/PM.

Merci Myriam :) !

In the 66th episode of Decode Quantum, I am welcoming Tommaso Calarco from Forschungszentrum Jülich in Germany to discuss his role in the European Quantum Flagship program but also for his research in quantum control. oezratty.net/wordpress/2024…

Listen to Jay Gambetta telling his personal and IBM's story in the the superconducting qubit realm, from physics to hardware and software stacks in the 68th episode of Decode Quantum, with audio, transcript and useful links (w. Fanny Bouton 🤖 and me). oezratty.net/wordpress/2024…

IBM's #s have to be better understood. Osprey and Condor had shitty fidelities (<98% 2QGf) and were retired or dismantled. Heron (133 qubits) has relatively good fidelities and a different design (tunable couplers). Subsequent designs (>=2024) will be based on Heron's technology.

61st episode of Quantum, the quantum ecosystem news podcast. Audio in French, but with a transcript easy to automatically translate into your own language. Always together with Fanny Bouton 🤖 from OVHcloud! Including, an analysis of recent Google's news. oezratty.net/wordpress/2024…
