Every Christmas I meet old friends who are interested in QC, so I end up using the same metaphor:

• The investors ≡ the children
• "OMG THIS QC IS 1000000x FASTER" ≡ the presents
• QC companies ≡ the parents
• A functional and useful Universal QC ≡ Santa
• Intranscendent benchnarks ≡ the toy store

Picture from today's visit to CMS! @cmsexperiment.bsky.social

I hope to be guiding visitors here often during this YETS! 💪🏽

Me (two months ago) vs me (now):

So it turns out that CERN is the main contributor to that experiment! Indeed, they are currently designing the detectors and building two different prototypes (1/20th the size of the planned detectors in DUNE) for testing in their Neutrinos Facilities!

You may have heard about DUNE, the next big (really big) Neutrino experiment in the USA!

Today I had the amazing opportunity to visit the Neutrino Facilities at CERN! 😵

What do they do here, you may ask? 🤨

I can't even go to the gym in peace anymore....

Some physicist didn't really understand the gymbro's "No pain no gain" motto and went for typing CERN Gym rules in LaTeX 💪🏽

Back to Lyon for the #Quantum Qinfo day at École Nationale Supérieure

I'm looking forward to it

Tip of the week: if you use Claude as an assistant in your research, create a profile like this

It may not solve the main problems these LLM have with math, but the improvement is noticeable!
