Obsessed with #QEC & reaching FTQC? 🙋‍♀️ Us too! But something else is brewing at Riverlane...

As quantum computers scale, there's a problem...

Not enough software! 💻 That's why we're building an amazing team with Liz Durst (ex Qiskit) & TWO new folks! 🎉

When I was a little kid first starting to use computers (with very little internet access), the computers were interesting but v boring in retrospect. One of the gems was a 5 or 6 CD program called Encarta encyclopedia that contained basically "everything" about the world.

Today is Ethiopian Christmas, my favorite holiday of the year. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate today!

On the other platform, immigration is the hot topic. On this one, my feed looks like a mix of "in a promising new research avenue, quantum computers will be used to test the quantumness of consciousness" and "the new samsung galaxy will be quantum"

My experience with overleaf: it lets you compile even when there are blatant errors in your tex. That's risky because on a day like today, if you try to compile locally it won't work. When the collaborative features are not needed, I don't see the point of using it compared with a local installation

Movie I'm watching now, cast talking about a new special fighter jet. Pilot:

"I know a little bit about this. It's quantum processin', right?"

Tech guy:

"Yeah, it's the first tested application. Ten terabits a second."

And then they just move on...

i think quantum people may be moving here en masse this time...
