that sweet moment when, for once, enlightened reason defeats myopic bureaucracy. Definitely having a beer tonight.

@tmorello @chriscornell Amazing song. Amazing musicians ♡

[Jake Bulmer @BosonBulmer]

If you wanna do some simulations of processes where you're heralding non-gaussian states from gaussian states + photon detectors but you want to include realistic errors like loss and distinguishability, you should check out our paper!

"No condono la astrología. Divulgarla en los medios de comunicación debería ser tan escandaloso como repartir cigarrillos en los colegios".

Una lectura para cerrar la primera semana del 2025.

And its a go for the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology!

@JakeLandauTO @maxfawcett I did not know this. When was this decision?

@QuantumAephraim @michael_nielsen Historia Universal de la Infamia ♡

[Nicolás Quesada 🦣 @polyquantique]

@michael_nielsen Almost anything by Julio Cortázar. I particularly like Autopista al Sur, Continuidad en los Parques y la Señorita Cora. In English, I have to admit I am sucker for anything written by Edgar Allan Poe.

Driving is a privilege, not a right. It should be harder to get/keep your license, and if you have multiple DUIs and/or at-fault accidents, you should lose your license permanently - no matter what age you are.

* Simulating lossy and partially distinguishable quantum optical circuits: theory, algorithms and applications to experiment validation and state preparation https://t.co/yurkWA7sVN in collaboration with @BosonBulmer and co-led by our own Javier Martínez-Cifuentes @polymtl

[Nicolás Quesada 🦣 @polyquantique]

and we end 2024 with not one but two papers on the @arxiv 🎉🎉

[Nicolás Quesada 🦣 @polyquantique]

* Ultrashort-pulse-pumped, single-mode type-0 squeezers in lithium niobate nanophotonics https://t.co/kLOjQgMVty in collaboration with @Quantum_137 and led by our own Martin Houde @polymtl !

[Nicolás Quesada 🦣 @polyquantique]

This was a wonderful opportunity to collaborate with colleagues from @NIST in Maryland and @NRC_CNRC in Ottawa!

Many congrats to Nicolas for his excellent work!

[Nicolás Quesada 🦣 @polyquantique]

Nicolas (https://t.co/PpElyzXze1) presented the results of his mémoire de maîtrise, on Accurate unsupervised photon counting from transition edge sensor signals!

The results he obtained are reported on this preprint https://t.co/jttvCSUS9N .

[Nicolás Quesada 🦣 @polyquantique]

and the repo https://t.co/NufjPrPIg1 and soon also in @NeuroLibre (https://t.co/tty1LQizey).

Great pic of Daniela in this latest shot at explaining what we mean by negative time (unfortunately, we're a bit delayed getting our own explainer up there)...

@michael_nielsen Cien años de soledad.
Todos los fuegos el fuego.
Sobre héroes y tumbas.
Uno y el universo.
