The only thing that could possibly be hotter than Italian twins explaining entanglement in Italian is Italian triplets explaining the GHZ state.
Happy to share our TEDx talk where me and my twin @antonioannamele.bsky.social chat about quantum technologies!

If I was the CEO of Springer Nature (instead of Dulwich Quantum), I would offer authors a new "pro" tier where you can bid to make your article be the 1st in a volume, and the bidding starts at 10 * (article processing charge).
5️⃣/🔟 In Scientific Reports, 5 of the top 10 most cited articles have an article number of 1.
5️⃣/🔟 In Nature Communications the same: 5 of the top 10 are article 1s.
Coincidence? 👇

BREAKING: Trump awards himself a Nobel Prize in quantum computing!
The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own.
Pathetic.

Fun fact: the reason why Moon has craters in the first place is because it has no atmosphere and so is constantly bombarded by meteroids.
I’ve always thought the problem with quantum computers is that they don’t cost nearly enough money (ideally, at least a million dollars per kg!), and should experience heavy vibrations and crushing G-forces after being calibrated. ⚛️🧪

Gil Kalai would "be quite satisfied with one-in-a-thousand error rate on complex states" to admit his defeat. How far are we from achieving this (by some considered the main) application of quantum computers?
I discuss (following Aaronson) the role of computational complexity to restrict physical theories, and the meaning of probability in our physical world. I quote Gidney on what it would take to prove me wrong, and Deutsch on MWI and Shor's algorithm.

To be a scientist means to assume that there is more good than evil in the world, for why would you dedicate your life to inventing tools that will surely end up in bad people's hands as well? 🧵
