Enhancing Decoding Performance using Efficient Error Learning
Lowering the resource overhead needed to achieve fault-tolerant quantum computation is crucial to building scalable quantum computers. We show that adapting conventional maximum likelihood (ML) decode...

Happy to see our paper published today demonstrating spin qubit control with integrated milli-kelvin CMOS. Much more of this coming from emergencequantum.com

Spin-qubit control with a milli-kelvin CMOS chip - Nature
CMOS-based circuits can be integrated with silicon-based spin qubits and can be controlled at milli-kelvin temperatures, which can potentially help scale up these systems.

Great to have Prof Ian Walmsley visit us at Sydney Nano. We are both thinking about similar things: how to create research facilities and places that enable great science and new collaboration. Shared facilities for nanofab, HPC, etc are standard, but how can it work for quantum labs? Any ideas?

Post selection in QEC is not cheating 🤣, but can be scalable and significantly reduce your resources overheads! Check out our newly published paper in @commsphys.bsky.social rdcu.be/d1LuM, a great collab with Sam Smith and @benbrown.bsky.social @sydneyphysics.bsky.social
