Failure and rejection are famously key parts of science. Less famous are recipes for overcoming these hurdles. Here’s a prescription for dimming the pain, sweeping up the pieces, and moving forward—and descriptions of some of my favorite failures. https://t.co/Rd7TMQ2Ze7

Non-Hermitian systems support non-trivial topological effects, yet eigenvalue braiding remains difficult to control and observe. Now, active tuning of laser modes enables programmable and directly observable braiding on an integrated photonic chip.

New quantum control protocols can stretch, blur, or even invert the arrow of time in qubit systems, enabling energy extraction from measurements and novel routes to quantum state preparation. https://t.co/q46EfPIAiq https://t.co/V3QSC38I2O

If you receive an offer of a faculty position, congratulations! And good luck---more work and consideration lie ahead of you. In this blog post, I offer my advice about navigating the post-offer process. https://t.co/nBZye7pe7B

Physics is my religious belief. In the sense that in physics we discover a fantastically wonderful world out there that’s rich in potential, rich in realization, and that has ample scope for fantasy, because the laws are so strange and there’s so much stuff out there to understand. And when you understand it, you understand how that could be.

I learn that I myself am very small. But I am also very large because I contain multitudes, as Walt Whitman said. I can process information. I can understand things. I can imagine. I can have fun. That’s the essence of my religion. I learn my religion from the study of what the world is and how it works.

@PiccardoM Rightly so. 🙂

[Samit Kumar Gupta @samitzkr]

@PiccardoM It is sometimes difficult to ignore the temptation to believe if purely biological entities may follow strictly physical principles in a deterministic way against the free will (if any).

[Samit Kumar Gupta @samitzkr]

@PiccardoM That means, essentially this system of little trees is under the action of an effective growth model that gives rise to this relative linear height gradient.
