Hobbyist, then engineer, then physicist, then engineer. #YEG then #Bristol. Science @QETLabsBristol, quantum plumbing @takeqontrol.

We’re changing the world through quantum technology, and it takes all kinds of people. Come and work with us.

[Josh Silverstone @joshsilverst]

We’re scouring Bristol for an aspiring electronics hacker to join us at Qontrol. If you know your RJ-11s from your RJ-45s, your through-holes from your SMTs, and your 0402s from your MELFs, get in touch. Pass it on. ⚡️https://t.co/WjSoX5yrqX

We’ve been a bit quiet on here lately but we want to introduce you to our new employee…

@BosonBulmer So it was BS all along…

In the past 4 years alone, each city has experienced it's worst day of wildfire smoke in recorded history.

The Earth is on fire. Our negligence is killing our planet. We must change our ways.

@quantunmise This is crazy-talk Tunmise! I’m no theorist, but eq 1 isn’t normalised. If you want to start from eq 3, fine, but then you need to symmetrise the last term (or just use second quantisation from the outset)

We choose to build quantum computers in this decade and do the other things not because they are easy, but because …

Congrats Marcus! 👏

[Marcus Clark @QCommsMarcus]

Very happy to say my first 1st author paper has now been published through SPIE.

The paper, entitled Entanglement Distribution Quantum Networking within Deployed Telecommunications Fibre-Optic Infrastructure, can be found at;

Something I notice about twitter: how much people dunk on one another. Certainly far more than in my e'day life. I've worked hard to remove it from my feed, muting & unfollowing people. And yet I still see it a lot. I wonder how much it's due to design decisions about the medium?

Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.

Radon transforms decompose a 2D function into lines, producing a sinogram (left). It has applications in many fields (e.g. CT scans).

Typical presentations usually go through Fourier transforms and whatnot, but that hides the magic.

Here's a more brute force approach. ;)

A VERY good morning #Bristol👋

Kicking off day two with the first mass ascent at a @bristolballoon fiesta in THREE YEARS! 🤩

We are aware of the concern that has been raised regarding tweets posted by Researchfish. We understand and acknowledge the serious issues raised by researchers and we will be discussing these with Researchfish as a matter of urgency.

[Josh Silverstone @joshsilverst]

A fabulous thread, filleting a thin-skinned Researchfish 🎣

[Josh Silverstone @joshsilverst]

Come and work with us, at @QETLabsBristol! New lectureship with the @BristolQE CDT: https://t.co/wiAiMhPveK
