Can we control #quantum transducers with #ReinforcementLearning algorithms? Yes. Can the agent find better efficiencies than a constant drive? Yes. Come check out our demo at the @Supercomputing @doescience booth.

“In the future, we will rely on everywhere in the world having access to quantum technology to run our business,” Sapia says. “So how can we set it up so no matter what happens on a geopolitical scale that we still have access to this technology?” #access #matters

https://t.co/buGaaUS4qe Exploiting the non-linearity of quantum entanglement provides an opportunity to capture non-linearity in transaction datasets that can enhance #machinelearning detection frameworks. HSBC Quantum is discovering novel QML algorithms. For #fraud

An unusual feature conspicuous on satellite imagery this morning over Pacific west of CA: multiple, seemingly organized thunderstorm clusters over the ocean headed eastward toward California (& not just along front). Will be interesting to see how this evolves later today. #CAwx

I don’t really know if this even makes sense but it’s certainly felt like a spicy week on arxiv

@jaygambetta For some reason the ignition chamber at NIF comes to mind. Technological feats achieving extreme temperatures to advance society. What an accomplishment 🎉🍾

@jfitzsimons Welcome to the Bay Area

[Mekena @rodeophysicist]

Yesterday was my final day at @BerkeleyLab 🫶my colleagues and the research. Time for new adventures. First up #Paris and #Barcelona to write about #quantum and explore.

A ⭐️ studded day on the Oppenheimer set for my final day at Berkeley. ❤️ Berkeley #physics

[UC Berkeley Library @UCBerkeleyLib]

UC Berkeley is *always* ready for its close-up. 🎥

Today, the campus is making a star turn as a shooting location for “Oppenheimer,” directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, and Matt Damon.

And cars. Lots of vintage cars.

A little bit of Hollywood 🎥 at Berkeley today filming about Oppenheimer
