Thanks Mark! As soon as I can confidently speak intelligibly I'll reach out 😅.

I'm Beyond disappointed in our government, and incredibly thankful for notable scientists pushing back publicly.

Congress is a disaster. Republicans and Democrats alike are so invested in self serving agendas and don't realize the damage being done to scientific progress.

Let alone the health of the american people. 🫩

Perhaps what I should say is that I'm a huge fan of your efforts pushing back against Congress. We see it and it's so important!

The past 8-9 months have been challenging. In such close proximity to government employees, watching years of hard work be stripped out from underneath them.

Thank you Henry. Huge fan of your work in Congress. Please let me know if my experience in M2O transduction can help. Please steady the course.

After surgery I may not look or sound like my old self. Regardless, I'll be passionate about understanding the nature of quantum computing and quantum information. This... I can live with.

I can't thank my mentors and motivators enough that I could come out the other side as a PhD researcher, passionate about my work. @bgreene.bsky.social, @seanmcarroll.bsky.social, Erick Weinberg, Chuck Nelson, @markwilde.bsky.social, Michael Lawler, and so, so many more.

Recovery will take weeks and even months but I am thankful for modern medicine and the decades of cancer research that will ultimately lead to my longevity.

More than a decade ago I sat in an alley, disgusting and distraught with my life as a cook/chef wanting for something more.

It will either get there one day, or someone will win a major prize demonstrating the physical limitations make it useless. Either way it will win something 😅

While the scientifically useless rhetoric of the press statement causes every working physicist to roll their eyes, I am truly excited to see more companies focus on this step of realistic and sustainable scalability. Moreover, I'm excited to see the AFRL be a part of this.

One might think that to be obvious (as it should be), but up until very recently there has been no financial incentive for companies to invest in transduction enabled scalability.

In some circles they still don't believe but let's be real cryogenic tubing just ain't it folks...

The significance of this article isn't that we've done this with trapped ion systems specific to IonQ, it's that there has been demonstrated commercial interest in transduction efforts.

Similar to that of Google's recent expressed interest as well

That's good to hear! I have to schedule another time to come out soon or else it might become another year.

You can suggest words I think www.oed.com/information/.... Idk the process but I heard about people having success in the past 🤷

Quantum info folks like to think they are disassociated with physicists but don't be fooled! It's all physics!! Some of it is just fancy physics. 🧐
