St Hilda's Church, #Hartlepool is one of the most important churches in the north of England, described as 'a glory of Early English architecture in its earliest and purest phase.' (Alec Clifton-Taylor).
Congratulations to our CEO and founder Steve Brierley ✨ OBE ✨ who was honoured in the New Year's Honours list for "services to quantum computing".
We're all very proud of you Steve!

📄New research from @Riverlane_io tests a key algorithm with error mitigation on @Rigetti's quantum processors and with collaboration from @Astex.
The algorithm has potential applications in chemistry and solid-state calculations on future. #quantumcomputers.
Riverlane featured in today's @thetimes following the announcement of our quantum decoder chip - the most powerful in the world today.

Nicky Featherstone, often under appreciated, never hid from wanting the ball, treated poorly by the club of late and allowed to leave. He deserves better. Picked by manager after manager after manager. A true professional and there’s not enough of them around.
In our new paper on arXiv today, @CraigGidney and I explain the techniques we used to make PyMatching 100x-1000x faster: https://t.co/yI6qYExb8t
Our sparse blossom algorithm is a variant of the blossom algorithm that directly solves the decoding problem relevant to QEC. 1/
How fast do QEC decoders need to be? Most people give a black/white answer (e.g 1us per QEC round for some max distance). But, efficient & scalable QEC is possible even with slow (inner) decoders if you parallelize them! As we show in our pre-print today.
This discussion between a Google engineer and their conversational AI model helped cause the engineer to believe the AI is becoming sentient, kick up an internal shitstorm and get suspended from his job. And it is absolutely insane. https://t.co/hGdwXMzQpX
