Most of today's quantum computers rely on qubits with Josephson junctions that work for now but likely won't scale as needed for applications. cen.acs.org/materials/el... #chemsky 🧪
These quantum switches need a materials makeover
Fixing the materials flaws in quantum computers is key to unlocking their advantage

Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”
Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

Understand that unless the people and states start resisting this violence it will continue and escalate, and expect ICE agents to be all over polling locations in November. Loyalty to the in-group is the only thing that matters to the Trump regime, and the out-group is dehumanised and destroyed.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Footage taken moments before a struggle shows that the man was filming, holding a phone in his right hand, backing up. His left hand is up, visible, palm facing out, as he backs away from the area. An agent uses his right hand, on the torso of the victim, pushing him back, while the man complies.

Federal agents are shooting and killing people in the streets.
These operations are not about public safety — they’re abuses of power, and people are dying. It must stop.

In Trump's telling, the US are the equivalent of the Nazis
Trump: "No nation is in any position to be able to secure Greenland other than the US. We're a great power. Much greater than people even understand. I think they found that out 2 weeks ago in Venezuela. We saw this in World War 2 when Denmark fell to Germany after just 6 hours of fighting."
