EDSAC, the first computer built at Cambridge University, has been celebrated with a Blue Plaque 💙

The Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator – better known as EDSAC – marked the birth of everyday computing, and contributed to three Nobel Prizes. It is the first time an @CambridgePPF Blue Plaque has commemorated the creation of a machine.

Great to see this new textbook from our colleague @steveh227, a principal lecturer on the Quantum Computing course for our third-year students. The book is based on the course, which introduces students to the basics of the quantum model of computation.

[Steven Herbert @steveh227]

I’m delighted to share that Quantum Computing: Foundations and Practice has been published. The textbook is available to order, and the e-book is available now, with the first chapter free for a limited period! https://t.co/DKTVfj7NxP

Introducing gRNAde: our own little "AlphaGo Moment" for RNA design! 🧬🚀

📝: https://t.co/vZCLiPg99O

Unlike proteins, RNA design has long relied on "wisdom of the crowd" (human experts) or the slow crawl of directed evolution — gRNAde changes that! 🧵👇
