One of the most cherished influences of AI on my work is the blessing of error and warning-free latex documents. Gives me a kick every time I see this symbol in overleaf without orange or red.
Someone sent me an email about their negative view on the post-Shor world in a poetic homage to T. S. Eliot that I just had to share:
Welcome to the prospect of a horrifying new world with fear in a handful of particulate dust to send us fleeing into the night.
Super happy to be part of this amazing initiative. Scientific publishing how it should be - community-led, open-access and donation-funded. We're always looking for motivated editor colleagues!
The relevant measure of qubit coherence is the delay time that keeps fidelity above 99.9% - that's what Maciej Malinowski proposes in this note. I think this makes a lot of sense! T2 is dead, long live T3!

I always liked the interpretation of the "we" as the authors together with the reader. In that interpretation, even a single author can write "we".
Another reason to not pay 13k to publish with a „professional“ publisher - use community-driven journals such as Quantum or SciPost Physics instead.
The time to switch to post-quantum is now. Advances in both algorithms and hardware have been mind-boggling in the last couple of months - @bsi.bund.de's "End of 2030" recommendation for a switch seems highly risky. @signal.org's PQC protocol shows how to switch without removing classical safety.

This is a pretty accurate description of what it’s like to do a postdoc in science - without the silicon valley pay. Everyone agrees this must change, but no-one seriously touches the part that actually could (yes, I am looking at you, faculty hiring committees) www.theguardian.com/technology/n...

Really interesting event that would require black holes thatcan't be produced via any conventional mechanism!
