Benjamin Cordier

Recent PhD graduate in Bioinformatics @OHSUInformatics. Research at the intersection of quantum machine learning and biomedical research. All words are my own.

Sometimes, an Oxford commas is kinda key.
"Today we learn about...southern lights, hear that researchers are using the tools of psychology and neuroscience to scan the ‘brains’ of AI large language models and discover an ambitious plan to get oil refineries to net zero."

Loading data is a known obstacle to quantum advantage. In extensive numerical experiments (w/ finance, proteins, fluids, & images) our new algo was able to load data with surprisingly short circuit depths. #intellabs #QuantumComputing

@WonderMixTape The worms in this can are large. Very. Large.

Errata: That's three advantage contexts, not four!

[Benjamin Cordier @bacordier]

Our review paper Biology and Medicine in the Landscape of Quantum Advantages is now published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface @royalsociety. This work is the product of a collaboration between researchers at @OHSUKnight and @intel Labs. https://t.co/qYZyWIEmJE

[Benjamin Cordier @bacordier]

To further highlight this piece, we distinguish between four advantage contexts: Theoretical, Experimental, and Operational. The last one is key – operational advantages are ones that are of sufficient maturity to translate into applied settings.

[Benjamin Cordier @bacordier]

To realize these operational advantages in the domains of biology and medicine – ones that are sufficiently robust to overcome organizational inertia, the incumbent advantages of classical approaches, etc. – use case development by domain researchers will be critical.

@WonderMixTape @LinkedIn @Netflix_Sandman @neilhimself This is among the most unexpected and beautiful chimeras I've ever seen, like from a dream

[Benjamin Cordier @bacordier]

@eisamahyari Interesting! There could be something here 😉

[Benjamin Cordier @bacordier]

@WonderMixTape @OHSUSOM @OHSUInformatics @OHSUBCB Hah! Thank you Shannon! The joy’s been all mine — I couldn’t have asked for a more brilliant, empathetic, and wise mentor to guide me on this journey. It wouldn’t have been possible without you 😊

[Benjamin Cordier @bacordier]

Thanks everyone! Been a wild ride. And while I can't say it's over yet (still a lot to do!), I can say that I'm feeling proud of where the work is and I'm excited to see where I can take it next 🙂

[Benjamin Cordier @bacordier]

Submitted my dissertation. What's next?

@Liv_Lanes Chilled out qubits and their way too long relaxation times

[Benjamin Cordier @bacordier]

@Liv_Lanes I *almost* admire the bravado
