I’m just here to find the motivation to get my research done. Oh, and I enjoy pulling espresso at 9 bar some days and, honestly, kind of thrive on a bit of suffering.

Simplest recipe ever, and a big hit with family: buy a basic olive oil focaccia, top with sliced mozzarella di bufala, grated asiago, fried zucchini slices, thinly sliced red onions, oregano. Bake at 350 for 10 min, then finish off by broiling at 500 for 2 minutes.

Yesterday on Twitter, homeboy said we could put quantum computers in the dark craters of the moon.
Imagine just saying shit, without any type of knowledge on the topic, and people go nuts.

When and how will quantum computing broadly benefit humanity? Despite exhilarating recent progress, we still don’t know. Here my friend Jens Eisert and I assess the current status and the challenges ahead.

I want to publish another paper. Then figure out what/where/when/who and how to continue PhD. It feels like I am going through a slump, but just go with the flow and focus what’s in my hands for now.

I recently read an interesting article from Nature (www.nature.com/articles/s44...) on the use of LLMs in writing. While I believe LLMs are already widely used in scientific communities, including myself, I often find myself second guessing the references or mathematical theorems they provide.
