Wow, it's an oldie already!

An oldie but a goodie. https://t.co/f1pIr7IXtk

Tough marathon out there, but happy overall.
Thanks for the support!
PS: 3.8km swim only.

Sports week at @qudev @ETH_physics @ETHQuantumCntr @ETH_en.
Our @BesseJC came in 22nd at @ChallengeRoth after a 4.8 km swim (49:56), 180 km bike and a marathon (3:03:32) in a total of 8:21:39.
Amazing time!
Well done!

@Jogenfors @AndreasAtETH @qudev @TVOerlikon The Zurich SOLA race started 49yrs ago inspired by a similar relay race in Sweden (which since disappeared). The original organizers brought 'SOLA-Pferd' back as prizes

[Andreas Wallraff @AndreasAtETH]

Congrats also to @qudev’s triathlon icon @BesseJC for winning the #ASVZ #SOLA race with team @TVOerlikon 1 out of 1025 teams.
They did 3:38 mins/km for 114 km.
Our @qudev team did 4:51 mins/km. We came in 2 h 18 mins after them and still made rank 78.
Exciting day for @qudev .

On top of @ETH!
The #quantum computing team of @qudev at @ETH_physics @ETHQuantumCntr on the terrace on top of the @ETH_en main building having a coffee break during its project development workshop.
Do you like the view?
I think it is very nice.
More photos in the next tweet.

The first @qudev Winter Retreat since the interruption by the pandemic was a great success, I think.
Many @ETH_physics and #Quantum Engineering @ETH_en students and researchers of our lab participated in the scientific, social and outdoor activities.
See if you recognize anyone!

@LittleDetritus @AndreasAtETH @qudev @ETH_physics @ETH_en 250g per person

@LittleDetritus @AndreasAtETH @qudev @ETH_physics @ETH_en Kirsch got entangled. But nevertheless not quite this much cheese...

[Jean-Claude Besse @BesseJC]

Fuel for #scientific activities at the @qudev winter retreat's #swiss #night.
Guess how much cheese we ate

Might be our first manuscript with @ETH_en - @psich_en Quantum Computing Hub contributions (?)

[Andreas Wallraff @AndreasAtETH]

New @qudev @ETH_physics @ETHQuantumCntr @ETH_en paper out on @arxiv today on the Calibration of Drive Non-Linearity for Arbitrary-Angle Single-Qubit Gates Using Error Amplification.
This has the potential to make your single qubit gates better!

Check out this new @qudev @ETH_physics @ETH_en manuscript in collaboration with the @FMarquardtGroup @MPI_Light on “Realizing a deep reinforcement learning agent discovering real-time feedback control strategies for a quantum system” on @arxiv today: https://t.co/4tpBSh13D4

@AndreasAtETH @Google @GoogleQuantumAI Should have searched for 'Bell paper 1964' 😉

I enjoyed the General Meeting of the @ETH_en #Quantum Center @ETHQuantumCntr at Schatzalp in #Davos a lot.
Great talks, excellent posters, engaging discussions and good company.
Check, if you recognize anyone on the group photos!

[Jean-Claude Besse @BesseJC]

Very nice meeting so far! @ETHQuantumCntr

[Andreas Wallraff @AndreasAtETH]

Day 2 of the #Quantum Center @ETHQuantumCntr general meeting started out with presentations by Yiwen Chu @hybirds_eth, Wister Huang, Christian Carisch @Zilberberg_Phys , and @BesseJC @qudev …

The superconducting circuits team at the ⁦@ETH⁩ - ⁦@psich_en⁩ #Quantum #Computing Hub hopes that the team of the VP Research of ⁦@ETH_en⁩ had an enjoyable visit today at PSI.
Thanks to Marek, Kuno, Raphael and ⁦@BesseJC⁩ for making it happen!⁩

@AndreasAtETH @Twitter @circuitqed @eichler__chris I remember a great lecture by @circuitqed even when the weather wasn't perfect...

[Andreas Wallraff @AndreasAtETH]

Team @qudev of @ETH_physics @ETH_en is getting ready for the 2022 #ASVZ SOLA relay race this Saturday.
14 legs, 120 km, 2700 m altitude difference.
Excited to race!
In 2019 @qudev came in 183rd of around 1000 teams.

First superconducting #quantum bits measured (on a 17-qubit device) at the @ETH_en - @psich_en #QuantumComputing Hub only 8 months after moving in.
A big thank you goes to the great team making it possible.

More qubits to come!
