Stupid Qubit

Quantum computers are here. WTF are they and what can they do? To find out, listen to Stupid Qubit - Quantum Computing for the Clueless. #science #comedy

[Stupid Qubit @stupidqubit]

Ep 2: Will Britain be first to build a really useful quantum computer? We quiz @NQIT_QTHub profs Winfried Hensinger (@IQT_group) & Simon Benjamin (@OxfordPhysics).
Plus:
• Why is Microsoft braiding spacetime?
• Quantum Brexit
• FREE QUBITS!

“And although my heart is bleeding right now, I know he lives on ... he is one of those who in their lives permanently imparts a sense of themselves onto everyone they touch.” by @peter_rohde on @jpdowling . An obituary.

For some in-depth interviews with quantum experts and pioneers, well worth subscribing to the @mequanics podcast. (We'll be back, too, as soon as time/practicalities permit, for any of you wondering.)

[Quantum Technology at Scale group @ UTS @meQuanics]

For our second episode from the @UTS_QSI seminar series, we welcome back @jfitzsimons from @horizon_quantum. Remember to check out the YouTube video to see all the cool slides! https://t.co/U2Jrao5PaV

@QuantumDaily 😅

[Stupid Qubit @stupidqubit]

Who's watching DEVS? You know, the thing with the quantum computer that can accurately model the entire history (and some of the future) of the universe, at any physical and temporal point therein. How many error-corrected qubits do you need for that, then? 😁

[Stupid Qubit @stupidqubit]

Ooh, we missed this earlier. Another quantum podcast while you're waiting for us to pull our fingers out. (Thanks for the heads-up, @RavitJain.)

[Stupid Qubit @stupidqubit]

Aha!💡 So now we understand how adiabatic quantum computers work!

Only joking. Still clueless.

We're afraid the trophy remains unclaimed, but thanks for trying Andrew.

[Andrew Ian Myers @andrew_aim]

@stupidqubit My understanding is that the quantum circuit is #reversible such that no information is erased upon computations. When you erase information it burns #Landauer erasure heat, being non-#adiabatic by definition. Erasing information effects the entropy, which would be non #isotropic

[Stupid Qubit @stupidqubit]

@TheBurlison Events have so far conspired against episode 3, but it will appear at some point. Much material has been recorded but we still need to script and record our bits and edit in the interviews. And do a song. :) Some time this year, if we get out of lockdown. Stay safe!

[Stupid Qubit @stupidqubit]

Sorry for the extended silence. Stupid Qubit will return. Eventually. In the meantime, stay safe out there. And if you're a genius quantum computer scientist, please invent something that gets us out of this.

[Stupid Qubit @stupidqubit]

Great episode! Looking forward to reading Dancing With Qubits and finding our inner eigenspace...

[Quantum Technology at Scale group @ UTS @meQuanics]

Many thanks to @snarky_android from @IBMResearch for a great chat today on his new book and his experiences with Quantum Computing and Quantum Technology. https://t.co/sQNK5PHzmZ

[Stupid Qubit @stupidqubit]

@snarky_android Nice one Bob! It's on our Xmas list. Fancy coming on the pod for a chat sometime? I know we're being a bit slow at the mo (life!) but hoping to get a few more eps out next year than we've so far managed this year.

[John Preskill @preskill]

Here it is! Video of today's talk @IQIM_Caltech
by John Martinis on "Quantum supremacy using a programmable superconducting processor." It was a great talk, and we're pleased that John chose to give the first public seminar on this topic @Caltech.

[Quantum Technology at Scale group @ UTS @meQuanics]

Now that @GoogleAI has had their paper on #quantum supremacy appear in @nature, hear from some of the people who helped develop the theory behind this remarkable result @quantumashley and Ryan Mann of @BristolUni and @mickbremner of @UTS_QSI @UTSEngage https://t.co/AC4rJha8Hu

[Stupid Qubit @stupidqubit]

Everyone's talking about quantum supremacy today. If you're feeling clueless, our first episode from last year will clear it up for you. Featuring Google's John Martinis and IBM's Jerry Chow. Oh, and Al Murray The Pub Landlord... https://t.co/Q4xWxl9Q94

[Quantum Bullshit Detector @BullshitQuantum]

Not bullshit.

[Quantum Technology at Scale group @ UTS @meQuanics]

A wonderful and extremely interesting chat with @peter_rohde today from @UTS_QSI on quantum photonics and the economics and geo-strategic politics of quantum technology. https://t.co/NovkhekgrU

[New Scientist @newscientist]

Has Google achieved quantum supremacy? The firm says its quantum chip can perform a calculation that is practically impossible for our best supercomputer https://t.co/u0FnM23S8Z
