Really thought provoking!

I've spent some time thinking about this now, and I think that what Frauchiger-Renner shows us can be summed up as "QM doesn't allow the combination of inferences corresponding to multiple cuts through a circuit". Here's my attempt at formalizing this: arxiv.org/abs/2503.00966

After a parade of unfortunate life events last year, I am experiencing some financial stress in the near term. If you know of any side consulting opportunities (that are not conflict of interest) that I might be a good fit for, I'd love to hear about them!

Subspace Correction for Constraints We demonstrate that it is possible to construct operators that stabilize the constraint-satisfying subspaces of computational problems in their Ising representations. We provide an explicit recipe to

Out today on arxiv!! Our Applications and QEC teams
explore Subspace Correction, similar to error correction, in the context of constrained problems.

Just here to say that I am personally embarrassed by the poor decisions, made by a small number of people behind closed doors, in the past few days that undermine the good work of so many great scientists. I hope the scientists aren't associated with the corruption

omg the paper might make it through ip review this week

why do you hurt me

Yes please!

I'm really into food culture and naturally I am interested in using the old starches, like cassava, more regularly in my baking projects

My grandma identifies as Taino and having the day off for #IndigenousPeoplesDay is the perfect excuse to deep dive into lost culture, get angry, and look for ways to integrate the past with present.

Oh my god this analogy is perfect

I promise it is neither adiabatic nor variational but that it *is* Guaranteed

Tomorrow I'm giving the last talk of the day in QC for Natural Sciences. It's about constrained problems but ignore the abstract. I'll instead be showing off a brand new algorithm for exact distribution preparation in constrained spaces.

One way or another, because I could change the settings but then my feed would be too dead :(

My least favorite thing about bluesky is that when someone you follow ends up involved in drama in a post thread, RIP your feed

OK apparently these are intended for a dispenser and I feel a lot better now 😅

one of the most poorly designed products I've ever used lol. I have to rotate the pad 180° for every new note, i cant pull a note off with one hand, and it is _Game Over_ if it falls off the table (or I drop it)

I figured out that I'm in The Bad Place because as of recent I need to do 2FA --> forgot password --> forgot username?? --> forgot password --> text me a code! --> 2FA --> 2FA for password manager --> suspicious login 2FA again --> ??? on literally ever site I go to, every single time

now i get to enjoy this glitch for eternity

don't ask me how but I've somehow managed it

did you know that you can follow yourself here

I just went to go snoop on that post and realized.. that this was probably me?? for some reason my work account was not following you, though I swear you were one of the first accounts I followed on it 😭

Playing is it a small kidney stone or is it random aches and nausea
