We Induced Smells With Ultrasound
We decided to try to stimulate the olfactory bulb with focused ultrasound. As far as we know, no one seems to have done this kind of stimulation before - even in animals.

If benchmark performance translated to reality, radiologists should be the canary in the coal mine of AI job loss.
Instead, radiology residency slots hit a record high in 2025.

There are urban legends such as this one, that we know wrong from experience.
Luckily there are great folks to debunk them, thanks @deenamousa.com

AI isn't replacing radiologists
Radiology combines digital images, clear benchmarks, and repeatable tasks. But demand for human radiologists is ay an all-time high.

I made a zine about quantum gates and distributed it at @unitary.foundation's unitaryCON this two weeks ago.

In 30 minutes, Pascal Scholl and I will give technical details on FTQC and how we do it at Pasqal, with the plans on the coming years. See you there!
Exclusive Webinar on FTQC on July 10th 💡
You will learn more about:
• Our strategy to perform FTQC in a relevant regime for applications
• The key technological features required to perform FTQC with neutral atoms
• The typical applications we envision targeting with FTQC

Forget the 10²⁵ years needed to simulate Google's Willow chip on world's fastest supercomputer. The most impressive number in quantum computing in this:
It would take 3678 years for a quantum computing PhD student to earn the 103 million made by the IonQ CEO Niccolo de Masi in his first 90 days.

Maybe we shouldn't join an unproven technology like quantum computing with an unproven financial vehicle like SPACs.

This is a typical "making the hard part harder" paper.
Making good qubits is *already* the hardest part. Replacing those qubits (2-level systems) with n-level systems isn't helping, it's hurting. But the increased difficulty is hard to quantify, whereas counting oscillators is easy, so here we are.
