@Ion_busters Industry sellout all the way 😎

[Evan Reed @qubitwrangler]

Damn, now that I've finished my PhD, am I going to have to get another personality trait apart from "being in grad school"?

[Evan Reed @qubitwrangler]

Do you trap ions? Do you like your ions to be cold but don't know the best way to dissipate those pesky phonons that Doppler cooling leaves behind? Well, chill out and take a look at our new arXiv paper: https://t.co/TfbKHrrr8z

The moral of this story is that it's time to return to monkey 🐵🍌

Someone said yesterday that anxiety, depression, and disconnection due to life in modern society is a form of zoochosis, because we humans are animals that domesticated ourselves and society is little more than a zoo that we've put ourselves in. Like, fuck... they're not wrong.

[Evan Reed @qubitwrangler]

And I'm going to be thinking about this for a long time

Did you know that the acronym of the company L.L. Bean stands for "Ladies Love Beans"?

Since twitter is effectively dead, can I go back to posting completely unhinged tweets like I did before my account morphed into a professional account?

Every quantum startup CEO should print out this @Preskill slide and hang it on a wall!

@LeoForDurham I'd love to hear more of your thoughts! What are the top three things that you hope to achieve towards this goal?

[Evan Reed @qubitwrangler]

@LeoForDurham Connectivity is a central part of your platform. Can Durham be a 15-minute city: an eco-friendly community that's safer for pedestrians and cyclists in which a resident's needs are only 15 minutes away (without a car)? Or are the tides of car culture too strong?

[Kenneth Brown @kenbrownquantum]

Our paper on "Quantum simulation of conical intersections using trapped ions" is now out in @NatureChemistry . Here is a link to the pdf https://t.co/GLihmSDNYG . The thread is from when we posted to arXiv and explains the backstory.

Massively under-reported science story because there's so much going on right now but...it turns out that we might have figured out what's causing this very scary spike.

Quick thread, on how WE'VE BEEN ACCIDENTALLY GEOENGINEERING FOR DECADES...but then we stopped:

I'm getting really tempted to delete my Twitter ("X" 🥴) account

New Brown lab ion trapping paper fresh off the press in PRA 😎 https://t.co/m7H9zo1Vpv

My feelings summarized 😔

[Michael J. Biercuk @MJBiercuk]

. @michiokaku - I grew up inspired by you. I became a Pro #quantum scientist at least in part bc your books got me excited about physics.

I know how hard it is to make science accessible.

But in your @joerogan interview you just lied. You made stuff up.

It's so disappointing.

[Evan Reed @qubitwrangler]

Oh? You want me to sit down and be productive? Where's my hot beverage then? 🧐
