go.bsky.app/75SvR2M - Who am I missing?

~got bored this afternoon, do forgive me. But on a serious note would love to know who I haven't discovered on here yet (or mistakenly omitted due to the sheer amount of people)

Great list of quantum starter packs! 👇

With a long transfer from the Sahara to Fes, I finally finished going through the starter packs below. It was great to see everything you all have been working on! I like to spend some time reading through each profile, so I start to remember who's working on what. Please comment more starter packs!

Fall arrives in Cambridge

Although the translation is slightly rough at the start, this book made me publicly cry so 9/10. Would recommend as a quick one sit read

First external contribution and +80% of issues completed to reach v1 for the HDH library! 🎉

More details about the project can be found: grageragarces.github.io/HDH/

Well it did go to quantum!

Unlikely prediction: we’re getting quantum again but the theoreticians this time - Shor, Deustch, Bennett

This rating scale is worth having in your back pocket.

I don't have a pitchbot... but I do have a handy rating scale for science communication mishaps that was in no way inspired by another recently developed scale for interstellar objects

The Loeb Scale for science PR disasters

Science miscommunication is dangerous. But how dangerous?

Congrats Marc !

Bose noise cancelling 700. +3 years of multi-hour daily use & they are still like new. The Bose brand is quite reliable, the noise cancelling is very solid, & they are relatively water resistant (having survived an entire year in Edinburgh so far). The battery life still lasts a few days. 10/10

I’ve always taken my laptop sticker game incredibly seriously.
And for the first time, it looks like I’m on my way to a fully quantum laptop. No one on the train will have any doubt about the industry I work in.
Sticker donations are always welcome

By far, the best food award at a conference I’ve ever attended goes to these cheese boards across SIGCOMM. Perfection 🧀

Hahaha the grind never stops 😉 although this summer has been particularly intense… will be going on vacation back home after this

Awkward poster pictures have arrived. Do find me at poster 35 at SIGCOMM tomorrow!

Had a great time this morning at the QuNet workshop at SIGCOMM!
Loads of cool work on quantum network locality, control, memories, and network implementations.
The big takeaway: metroscale q networks are gradually becoming a reality, but unsurprisingly the quantum internet is a while ahead

IWQC ✅ see you at SIGCOMM next 🛫

Thank you to the organisers for such a great workshop on quantum compilation! I learned a lot and had the pleasure of presenting my early PhD work!

I’ll leave you with some fancy looking slides:
