We’re looking for a post doc to join us exploring the intersection of quantum chemistry and quantum computing - 2 year position - Based in the QIC group at EPFL (Lausanne) - Collaboration with Roche (Basel) Email me if interested

Woah, this seems huge

Some nice new opportunities available for quantum jobs in #quantum benchmarking and compilers from the Unitary Fund.Check out unitary.fund/careers/

It's statistical mechanics all the way down

Quantum biology: where the very small meets life itself! 🔬🌱 Still amazed by Dr. Clarice D. Aiello (she,her) 's insights. Nature might be the ultimate quantum engineer after all! #MizterRadShow #FutureOfHumanity open.spotify.com/episode/2xRC8L…

I'll admit this would be fun. I used to get kicks from invoking the classic Ramanujan line. theorists: how did you get this pulse sequence?! and why does it work so well? me: It was revealed to me in a dream. [alas, they were not entertained.]

Does Zipf's law, or some equivalent, describe the distribution of the fundamental laws of nature? arxiv.org/abs/2408.11065 ScienceCast Department of Physics at University of Oxford National Institute of Standards and Technology American Physical Society

Interesting meta-analysis on Google's 2021 Nature paper claiming ML speeds up chip design: cacm.acm.org/research/reeva… TLDR: AI did not speed up the design, but it did make it slower 🐌 At least when it comes IC layout, humans still hold their ground 🦾! For how long though?

Why can’t Britain build anything anymore? The news this week of the £100m ‘bat tunnel’ gave us some clues. Here’s the story of this tunnel, which has been 12 years in the making, and some thoughts on what it tells us

The sweet thing about a really snowy day is that people somehow start saying "hello" to each other when crossing on the street

We have a existential manufacturing problem in America. Why aren't there Amazon/Tesla-scale gigafactory warehouses filled with CNC machines? Will we ever be able to make our own products again? How do we accelerate the turnaround of American manufacturing? I asked this question

I'm not yet convinced this exodus will last, but in case it does, you can find me at bsky.app/profile/msmali… But don't worry, I'll hang out here still!

Trying to forecast the future of quantum computing be like

New Anthropic Research: Project Vend. We had Claude run a small shop in our office lunchroom. Here’s how it went.

So true
