Hi #quantum bluesky 👋 In arxiv.org/abs/2503.20870 with #Quantinuum, Fermioniq, Caltech, EPFL, TUM we show Quantinuum's H2 ion-trap #quantumcomputer can simulate dynamical evolution of a 2D Ising model at late times and sizes pushing beyond classical means(MPS, PEPS, sparse Pauli propagation, NN).
Digital quantum magnetism at the frontier of classical simulations
The utility of near-term quantum computers for simulating realistic quantum systems hinges on the stability of digital quantum matter--realized when discrete quantum gates approximate continuous time ...

This is part of DESI's recently released map of our universe. Each snowflake in this blizzard is a galaxy. Not sure if it's terrifying or comforting, but it's definitely jawdropping! More videos at noirlab.edu/public/video... 🌌⚛️ 🧪

Love this picture of Mike and Ike after finishing their book. Ike gave a great talk about the early days of quantum computing, may each of you find yourself in such an era of joy and discovery.

The most viewed thing I've ever made is a short about two colliding blocks computing π. I just made a new edition of the explanation for why π shows up there, setting things up for a (coming soon) follow-on connecting it to quantum computing.

There's more to those colliding blocks computing pi

"For validation purposes of everything we're saying, [we need to be] in the presence of experts. [...] The criterion for being an expert is that you have connected to this call. That's the criterion. [...] We need 100 experts because that's what Microsoft used in their press releases." Sergey Frolov
