The #QuantumComputerArchitecture tweetstorm started a year ago today. Probably time to update my pinned tweet. nitter.cf/rdviii/status/11585585…

Breaking radio silence here for a minute, since this (sadly) seems to be one important way to get the word out about our new paper...

This paper combines experimental demonstration of our network prototype, insight into network topology, and an operation scheduling and performance estimation tool to help us evaluate where we are and where we need to be.

Of course I'm riding high on finishing (well, almost -- we still have to get the paper through peer review) this paper, but as of right now I'd rate this the most important paper of my career to date.

Today marks 24 years that @NASA and its partners have maintained a permanent human presence in space. To put this in perspective, this means that anyone under the age of 24 has never lived a day without humans continuously living in space. After more than a quarter of a century of operations, the space station continues to serve as a world-class laboratory, experiencing many firsts, scientific breakthroughs, and improving life on our home planet every day. – Dana Weigel, Station Program Manager

I have no idea why people didn't have stores of fuel and generators, and stocks of food and water. Anyway here's a totally unrelated poverty map of Appalachia.
I am very sympathetic to those slammed by Helene, and I pray for their safety and recovery. At the same time, how is it that in 2024, people who live in the paths of hurricanes STILL DON'T HAVE FOOD SUPPLIES? Not even for a few days? No water supplies? No backup fuel? That seems incredibly ill-prepared given the state of our world today. I pray for these people, but I also pray that more people would have the sense to practice some basic level of preparedness. I will always help those in need, but we also need people to stop living under the delusion that nothing will ever go wrong and that food, water, fuel, comms, medicine, banks, etc., will NEVER have disruptions. S##t happens. Repeatedly. Prepare for it. Expect it.

Happy 100th birthday, President Jimmy Carter. As the father of @ENERGY, he founded our agency as the top institution for world-leading science, transformative technologies, and next-generation energy sources. The United States is stronger and safer thanks to President Carter.
Former President Jimmy Carter is 100 years old today! Join us in honoring our visionary co-founder, America’s humanitarian-in-chief. No other U.S. president has lived so long or done so much good for so many after leaving office. bit.ly/3zFj0Pf

To whom would you attribute the recognition that quantum computers connected via classical networks only cannot solve a problem larger than either alone? We're talking probably 1990s here. A good chance it's @preskill himself? #quantumcomputing

Rolling back to the original question, a student of mine asked ChatGPT, which suggested Cirac, Buhrman, Gottesman, Cleve and Chuang. On this, it's probably no more prone to hallucination than I am. @dallairedemers @jfitzsimons @JosiahSinclair
