We’re scouring Bristol for an aspiring electronics hacker to join us at Qontrol. If you know your RJ-11s from your RJ-45s, your through-holes from your SMTs, and your 0402s from your MELFs, get in touch. Pass it on. ⚡️qontrol.co.uk/jobs/

Congrats Marcus! 👏
Very happy to say my first 1st author paper has now been published through SPIE. The paper, entitled Entanglement Distribution Quantum Networking within Deployed Telecommunications Fibre-Optic Infrastructure, can be found at; doi.org/10.1117/12.2645095 arxiv.org/abs/2211.09051

Something I notice about twitter: how much people dunk on one another. Certainly far more than in my e'day life. I've worked hard to remove it from my feed, muting & unfollowing people. And yet I still see it a lot. I wonder how much it's due to design decisions about the medium?

Radon transforms decompose a 2D function into lines, producing a sinogram (left). It has applications in many fields (e.g. CT scans). Typical presentations usually go through Fourier transforms and whatnot, but that hides the magic. Here's a more brute force approach. ;)
