Condensed matter physicist. I love to talk science, and am keenly interested in data presentation and how to most effectively communicate ideas.

New manuscript alert!

Quantum emitter in a plasmonic field: an orientation generalised model, by Harini Hapuarachchi, me, and @quantschmant

Here I was happy to add my expertise in numerical solution of differential equations to Harini's fantastic work.

The AIP would like to express their deep concerns that the leadership of the University of Technology Sydney has temporarily suspended enrolments into the Physics major in the Bachelor of Science.

@geerlingguy Blur of static images can be solved by deconvolution. If the kernel is known it's easier, but if not it can be estimated. Providing more data (like dragging in your example) can be used as constraint. Blur then pixelate would be better but still crackable. Best just to mask it.

@MichMarthaler Sounds ripe for a recursive optimization of its optimization problem. Just iteratively optimize your optimizer until it's optimal at optimizing!

[Jesse Vaitkus @DrVaitkus]

I'm really glad to see this great work by @quantschmant 's team get published in PRX Quantum. These notes have been built through years of computational physics work.

It's also interesting to see how the arxi version got shaped into something that fits into PRX Quantum's shape.

@timgould_scienc I wonder if you might be computing something similar to the matrix sign function https://t.co/NhicTDJlYf as I would suppose that the matrix sign would satisfy the properties of orthogonal matrices and you're just finding it in a "fun" way.

[Jesse Vaitkus @DrVaitkus]

I've been looking forward to reading this for a while! This work was always fascinating during my time at HQS, I'm excited to see how it develops further.

@QuokkaComputing Is that $350 in AUD, USD or other?

@csferrie Chris, did you post this on the wrong account? 👀

[Jesse Vaitkus @DrVaitkus]

Whether this new superconductor turns out to be valid or invalid rests upon the reproducibility of the results, not whether the author used Excel vs. PgfPlots to generate the figures. For those who have forgotten, I suggest that you review CERN's announcement of the Higgs Boson.

[Jesse Vaitkus @DrVaitkus]

Hey, I'm not that bad.

Anyway... super excited to see this. I still have my copy of Jared's master equations' notes from undergrad. So I'm glad to see Francesco, Jared and Harini update, expand, and mordernize them for free on arxiv.

I'm super excited to share some of the latest work I got to be a part of at @HeiQuSim, with lead author Juha Leppäkangas, on using noisy qubits as a resource for simulation of open systems on quantum computers. I see huge potential for this method. Enjoy!

@karenbayros @AipCongress What I'm burning to know is whether you made the sandwich joke.

Wait a second, these are not real error bars … the author literally just put the letter “T” above the bar graphs 😭

[Exciton Science @excitonscience]

We have developed the first general theory to explain and predict nitrogen vacancy-plasmonic nanoparticle interactions in diamond.

Led by @quantschmant, this @RMIT work will equip experimentalists (like @spin_hall_FX) to achieve even better results!

@csferrie Okay, hear me out, what about "façade + academic" instead?
