They do focus on quantum computing under "Later developments" here: www.nobelprize.org/uploads/2025...

Congratulations! And don’t worry too much about the numbers. Some papers peak early, others pick up momentum over time. The main thing is to be ambitious in the problems you tackle and tenacious enough to see them through. Those papers do better over time than jumping on the hot topic of the day.

Will you be at Q2B?

Basically, once you start to create correlations between regions, the individual regions are necessarily in a mixed state.

@csferrie.bsky.social's answer is correct. More generally, the observable universe can become mixed. Even if the universe starts is a pure, separable state, the observable universe rapidly becomes mixed, due to photons carrying information away from a given region at the speed of light.

Cold weather is clearly a big advantage for doing low temperature physics. This is known as the Leiden frost effect.

I was more hinting at the fact that it’s very warm there.

The secret but desirable sort, I think.

Oh, they don’t need to be online. I’m quite far out of touch with the current crop of students so good to know who’s doing interesting things, but more immediately I’m also organising an event.

There was a good community (if short lived) on clubhouse, which just came about by sharing our invites within the community. Maybe the same can be done here (though hopefully the platform will be longer lived).

That’s not what I meant. Twitter had previously had a very active community of people working on quantum physics and quantum computations across academia, government labs and industry. I’d like to see it come back to life somewhere.
