@HyQ_Ucph @GrundforskFond Can't watch it from abroad. Does he tell us to shut up and calculate? 🤩

@lottefolke CO2 udledning pr kWt er langt vigtigere, og her er vi langt fra nummer et.

@engineers_feed I believe analog PID controllers still hold an edge over their digital counterparts for very high bandwidth feedback.

@elonmusk Give its staff proper working conditions?

The theme of 2022: Powerful people fucking up after surrounding themselves with yes-men and ignoring reality:

- Putin invading Ukraine
- Liz Truss and her mini budget
- Elon Musk buying Twitter
- Mark Zuckerberg and his user-less Metaverse

The process for selecting a new U.K. prime minister begins.

The press questions at today's physics #Nobel press conference reminded me of a certain @xkcd. Anyway, extremely happy it went to Bell inequalities and entangled photons!

@drpeterrohde @elonmusk Some poor soul will be have to explain Elon why his two-qubit gate error hasn't halved every 6 months...

@mattecapu Even the age old question of Life, The Universe and Everthing will soon be solved on a quantum computer!

[Martin Hayhurst Appel @hey_Hayhurst]

@drpeterrohde I've always wanted to read a quantum computing book in the style of Dan Brown...

Our new work unravelling the dynamics of two single photons wavepacket interacting with a quantum emitter is now on Nature Physics! https://t.co/ynazZWHNCy

@Amir_Safavi_N Anyway, here's another dank photonics meme by yours truly.

[Amir Safavi-Naeini @Amir_Safavi_N]

Apparently people TeX up their memes these days...

[Martin Hayhurst Appel @hey_Hayhurst]

@Amir_Safavi_N Fascinating! I'm sure that I am the author! I TeXed this meme 2020-03-17 (early DK Covid lockdown) and shared it on my research group's Discord but not any further. Somehow it has propagated. My version is pixel-identical. Unlikely someone else would use the exact same formatting

[Martin Hayhurst Appel @hey_Hayhurst]

@stfeldt Jeg bliver også irriteret, men udtrykket kan faktisk godt give mening i forhold til, at man ved et kvantespring ender i en orthogonal tilstand - altså at verden er umiskendeligt forandret.

[Martin Hayhurst Appel @hey_Hayhurst]

@4ND3RS Mon det også er et forsøg på at øge fødselsraten? 😅

@Tantacrul This is what happens when you forget to use PRO LEVEL CHORDS

[Martin Hayhurst Appel @hey_Hayhurst]

@engineers_feed This is about Baysian vs frequentist statistics.

@qikipedia Compared to how slow your brain is, light is essentially instantaneous.
