My deep dive on @PsiQuantum — a quantum computing company aiming high & raising huge sums from public and private funders. Can they deliver? nature.com/articles/d4158…

PsiQuantum has ambitious goals to build a useful quantum machine by late 2027 — and has raised more than US$1 billion to do it go.nature.com/3B1S1Oz

Phone users around the world are enabling the creation of a space-weather monitor that will deepen our understanding of the physics governing Earth’s ionized upper atmosphere and improve the accuracy of satellite positioning go.nature.com/3AR1pEt

Adriana Pálffy & José Crespo López-Urrutia discuss the latest on the path towards a nuclear clock, which could help us tackle fundamental questions about the Universe go.nature.com/4dQSjG5

August issue out! This month, we learn how holes form in epithelioid tissues, observe atoms that are coherent for tens of seconds, and - in the aftermath of the Olympics - discuss how physics influences sport in our new editorial. Check it out at: go.nature.com/AugIssue

A reminder that Nature is looking for a new optics and photonics editor. One week left to apply!

We are hiring at @naturephysics! If you have expertise in condensed matter, quantum stuff (broadly defined) or optics/photonics, then we would love to hear from you. Closing date Aug 9th. Feel free to DM or email me if you have any questions. nature.com/naturecareers/…

My latest: Kamiokande-II saw the first supernova neutrinos from the famous SN 1987A. Now Super-Kamiokande is starting to see hints of a "diffuse supernova neutrino background" from across the observable Universe #Neutrino2024 @Kamiokaobs_pr nature.com/articles/d4158…

ITER now looks likely to be pipped to net gain by private fusion firms. More of what ITER's delay means for the fusion world in my latest story, here: nature.com/articles/d4158…

🚨 Big news on arXiv! 🚨 Over 30 female Quantum Professors have united to release a powerful Manifesto of Values. They reflect on gender issues in quantum physics and call for change with a clear set of values. Let's support and amplify their voices! #WomenInSTEM #QuantumPhysics

Gaussian boson sampling reproduces distributions that are hard to calculate classically and were claimed to show quantum advantage in the noiseless limit. But now a classical algorithm is shown to reproduce experimental results when noise is large. nature.com/articles/s4156…
