If you're in an institution there may be spaces nearby you can use, and I'm aware that you can leave the conference building and go elsewhere, but it would be nice to be near all the action if you just need to dip out for a little while - hiding in the bathroom is only comfortable for a short time.

I love using notion! it helps my ADHD brain that needs things in specific 'buckets' or they just dont exist 😅

I follow tutorials by Rosanna (@rosannatxt.bsky.social) like this one:

which is an accessible entry point! Her notion content is really easy to follow :)

We use entanglement and superposition of those properties as a way to “encode” the information. Storage times range from nanoseconds to hundreds of milliseconds (with a few papers out there claiming seconds) usually, again depending on platform and application

Yep, all of those. I’m not sure if there’s any other fancy ones, I just simulate the storage part 😅

...depending on what you're using them for. I use rubidium vapor, which has it's own pros and cons. People also use diamond, cold atoms, superconducting materials etc. It depends on how your information-containing-light is created. Feel free to ask for further clarification :) 2/2

Generally, the aim is to store light in a material for some time and then get it back out again efficiently, with the input and output light being as similar as possible (to preserve the information in it).
There are many different materials and temperature ranges for these memories.. 1/2

There's also the storage medium, which in my case is rubidium vapour.

They’re a way of storing quantum information using light!
