Blog post: "The French have the Quantum Circuits" algassert.com/post/2602 André Schrottenloher just published a preprint showing how to construct quantum ECDLP circuits with costs similar to the ones in our zero knowledge proofs.

Between two property flips, Fowler giving some thoughts to QEC. He is still hooked! arxiv.org/abs/2603.28852

The forward-looking Oratomic time-efficient architecture claims to "potentially enable runtimes of 10 days for ECC–256 with ≈26,000 qubits, and 97 days for RSA–2048 with ≈102,000." This is based on stitching together several gadgets and plausibly assuming they can work together on an atom platform.

Having been logged off unexpectedly, I was surprised and thrilled to discover that @odpomery.bsky.social did the Bluesky login screen illustration, only to find out few hours later he actually did two! Such a treat to see an artist you cherish pop up at a place you value 😃 Thank you Owen!

After years of projects and actions led by core teams at MPQ and IRIF, Université Paris Cité is now scaling up with its own Quantum Initiative, bringing together its labs. Expanding research, training & innovate on across quantum technologies, from local to European levels. 🌐 quantum.u-pariscite.fr

Keep thinking about arxiv.org/abs/2505.13587

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Congrats Philippe! Exciting times ahead 😀

If benchmark performance translated to reality, radiologists should be the canary in the coal mine of AI job loss. Instead, radiology residency slots hit a record high in 2025.

I made a zine about quantum gates and distributed it at @unitary.foundation's unitaryCON this two weeks ago. check it out :) and lemme know what you think nates.place/static/ng01....

Hi, I am here! Will mostly post about Quantum Foundations/Computing and Quantum Music.

In 30 minutes, Pascal Scholl and I will give technical details on FTQC and how we do it at Pasqal, with the plans on the coming years. See you there!

It has been a hot day in Paris—currently 31°; and yet we are supposed to have hail! 🌨️ Friday evening picnic cancelled as the town closed all parks…

Forget the 10²⁵ years needed to simulate Google's Willow chip on world's fastest supercomputer. The most impressive number in quantum computing in this: It would take 3678 years for a quantum computing PhD student to earn the 103 million made by the IonQ CEO Niccolo de Masi in his first 90 days.

Maybe we shouldn't join an unproven technology like quantum computing with an unproven financial vehicle like SPACs. —me, 2021 www.reddit.com/r/wallstreet...

This is a typical "making the hard part harder" paper. Making good qubits is *already* the hardest part. Replacing those qubits (2-level systems) with n-level systems isn't helping, it's hurting. But the increased difficulty is hard to quantify, whereas counting oscillators is easy, so here we are.
