Nuclear spin-free 70Ge/28Si70Ge quantum well heterostructures grown on industrial SiGe-buffered wafers
The coherence of hole spin qubits in germanium planar heterostructures is limited by the hyperfine coupling to the nuclear spin bath due to 29Si and 73Ge isotopes. Thus, removing these nuclear spin-fu...

Trying out #Vellum (vellum.pub) for formatting my upcoming #novel and so far I am quite pleased with how smooth the process is with this tool.
Vellum. Create beautiful books.

I'm not even an astronomer but I like to read about astronomy and I was briefly in a quantum gravity group in grad school so I get the moon landing was fake conversation from random people, can confirm.
is this true astronomers
do u get the moon landing was fake conversation
If you say you are an astronomer it's at least an 80% chance it will come up Darth. It's very.... interesting.... 🫠

From misty seawalls to far-flung worlds, Vanthology gathers original short #fiction from the Vancouver Genre #Writers community—tales that blur the borders between #fantasy, science fiction, horror, and romance. These are stories of grit and grace, of found family.

Half the internet seems to be down thanks to the us-aws-east-1 outage

Perplexity, Amazon .com, Signal all down (just 3 services I tried to use)

Looking at potentially starting a non-fiction #writing group that meets once or twice a month in #Etobicoke or #Toronto. Let me know if you're interested.

An intermediate challenge for quantum startups who want to solve climate change: can you first factor 21?
Been awhile since I wrote a blog post.

Anyways... why haven't quantum computers factored 21 yet?
