Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus (Happy St David’s Day) to Bluesky friends! 🏴🌼
Hope you can find time today to ‘gwnewch y pethau bychain’ (do the little things), as St David said … a perfect day to spend outside in nature, or curl up with your favourite Ransome perhaps?? 📚 ⛵️
Have you ever wondered about the dimensionality of the massive Schwinger model with a two-dimensional, non-periodic electric field? Well, we counted it and proved that it follows the bisection of the Lucas numbers (oeis.org/A005248). This leads to incompatibility with Gauss's law stabilizer QEC.

For my birthday Ms17 signed us up for the Strides Running Club 5K race @ucsandiego.bsky.social this morning. She finished several minutes ahead of me, but it was fun—I even ran into a couple of students from my Fall Quarter class.
it seems that, nearly every month, a new journal focusing on quantum information & computing gets started. Here is a screenshot of a paper in a new one. They'll be happy to publish your papers without consideration for formatting & most authors won't care enough to check for these problems either.

W. H. Auden, Epitaph on a Tyrant
⋮
He knew human folly like the back of his hand,
And was greatly interested in armies and fleets;
When he laughed, respectable senators burst with laughter,
And when he cried the little children died in the streets.

Bots have made their way to Prolific experiments. Our lab has stopped online testing of adults entirely now for this reason - we want to know if what we study is real. Probably data collected 2-3 years ago are ok, but moving forward we just can't know. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

@lkonstan.bsky.social, Is ‘Literary Fiction’ Just Another Genre Now? www.chronicle.com/article/is-l...
