My latest blog covers how scientists Ewin Tang, John Wright and colleagues derived inspiration from studies in #linguistics to estimate #quantum states: scieye.wordpress.com/2025/11/06/f...
Thanks to @simonsinstitute.bsky.social for the opportunity to talk to researchers about this exciting work!
From Butterflies and Shakespeare to Estimating Quantum States
It is expected that any complex calculation performed on an error-prone quantum computer will result in an output in the form of a random quantum state. This random state itself is a probabilistic …

Person that could be read as a woman with dark skin and short dark brown hair, long-sleeved top, is sitting on a chair next to a table with a cup of coffee and an open laptop, where the screen shows a schematic social media platform. She is waving towards the screen. In the background, her home looks cosy with warm colours, a window, curtain and lamp, and a plant.
