Love it when somebody joins Bluesky and the first thing they do is follow Dulwich.
New accound following Dulwich and Bluesky only.

Why is it that people who study entanglement are often twins?
Particle physicists Martin White (left) of the University of Adelaide in Australia and Chris White of Queen Mary University of London have always wanted to work together. Last year, the identical twins finally did so, proposing a way to detect the magic of top quarks.

It’s like this: if you think quantum computers able to break 2048-bit cryptography within 3-5 years are a near-certainty, then I’d say your confidence is unwarranted. If you think such quantum computers, once built, will also quickly revolutionize optimization and machine learning and finance and countless other domains beyond quantum simulation and cryptanalysis—then I’d say that more likely than not, an unscrupulous person has lied to you about our current understanding of quantum algorithms.

"Our results show a classical supercomputer would require more power than the Sun—or, in fact, the combined power of all stars in the visible universe—to complete the same task in the same amount of time."

But ChatGPT just gave me a long list of superheros that are more powerful than the sun!
Figure 2: Random Circuit Sampling (RCS) results on Helios. Running the same calculation classically in the same amount of time would require the power of all the stars in the visible universe.

I want to conclude these acknowledgements with a semiquote from my favourite Quantum Computing Meme for QMA-Complete Teens: “What if the real quantum supremacy is the friends we made along the way?”

Learned something new today from Google's announcement.
research.google/blog/a-verif...
our experiment is described by probability amplitudes across an exponentially large space of 65 qubits. An exact description of such a quantum mechanical system requires storing and processing 265 complex numbers in memory, which is beyond the capacity of supercomputers.
