Elated to leap into the @APSphysics Fellowship class of 2023! With a bow and boundless thanks to those those who taught and inspired my generation, and a booming "ahoy!" to the next generation ready to set their own sails.

Welcome to our SQMS 2023 Intern class! Yesterday our friends @NorthwesternU hosted the students for an intro event, tour and special seminar. @Fermilab @doescience #QuantumComputing #STEM #internship

Apply now to USQIS, the 1st US Quantum Information Science Summer School (Aug 6-15, 2023 @Fermilab). Develop expertise & hands-on skills in quantum research! This DOE-funded school is a joint project of C2QA, QSA, QSC, QNEXT, & SQMS. Read on & apply here: bit.ly/3m0GvLW

Admin mantra for a content evening— Complications? … Complications are only the intricate wrinkles that life throws, so that circles aren’t so boring. (Inspired by a chat with @vatsanchakram .)

@olexandr Best regards to the friend: pharmaceutical startups occasionally fail for outrageous reasons, but more often for mundane ones. Nonetheless, there are amazing innovations in the pharmaceutical industry. Quantum might get there, too, in time.

@GrassellinoSRF @sqmscenter @Fermilab @schusterqed One thing the photos don’t capture fully: the side and back of the room were crammed with FNAL SQMS scientists supporting Anna. Thanks to all of you as well!

Last week Director and Deputy Director of ⁦@sqmscenter⁩ presented some of the center progress to the ⁦@Fermilab⁩ physics advisory committee. ⁦Thanks ⁦@scqubits⁩ for excellent slides and thanks ⁦@schusterqed⁩ for very useful advice!

Down memory lane: a slide I made as a PhD student with Felix von Oppen. The topic: molecular electronics. One of its founding fathers: Mark Ratner, Northwestern Chemistry. Northwestern Physics: my academic home for 12 years now. So grateful for all that Felix von Oppen taught me.

@GrassellinoSRF @sqmscenter @Fermilab @ProfFeynman I know there’s some empty space on the wall to the right!

For our new @sqmscenter quantum labs @Fermilab we proudly chose this @ProfFeynman quote, to remind our researchers every day that science is the search for truth, which requires the ability to experiment, and above all, honesty in setting our goals and interpreting our results.

We have an NQIAC. quantum.gov/president-bide…

Northwestern has an opening for a theorist working on condensed matter / quantum information science (assistant or associate professor rank). Come join us! Details here: physics.northwestern.edu/about/open-pos…

@AGrassellino @sqmscenter Lovely evening, nice food and great company! Thank you so much, @AGrassellino and @Alexand18738762!

⁦@sqmscenter⁩ leadership enjoying a well deserved break. Thanks for the very nice dinner ⁦@scqubits⁩ !

One of my favorite moments today: Angela Kou, Bill Fefferman, Luigi Frunzio, Yoni Kahn and Kasra Nowrouzi on a panel moderated by Eleanor Rieffel - day 1 at the 2022 SQMS annual meeting! @sqmscenter

Thanks to @nanonoodle Andrew Houck, our fearless C2QA Director, (as well as all involved!) for making the past two days a productive, well-planned and fun annual meeting! Glad to be part of @C2QAdvantage!

Congratulations, Anna Grasselino, on this extraordinary achievement! @AGrassellino @sqmscenter

@orionfigen @zlatko_minev @christian That sounds great! Then that must even cover offset charge dependence of spectra for zero-pi and the Cooper pair box (charging regime)! How did you do it?

@scqubits @zlatko_minev @christian Hi Jens, we have extended pyEPR to deal with the full cos potential.

Amazing #fluxonium designed with #QiskitMetal by Figen Yilmaz @orionfigen and @Christian K Anderson! Can’t wait to see the new science done with it #quantum #quantumeda #cqed #quantumhaedware

@d_k_weiss passed his thesis defense today - congratulations, Dr. Weiss! Danny has done fantastic work, and been the source of deep insight, generous kindness, and the most infectious laughter. Buckle in for his next career chapter working with @ShrutiPuri11 & Steve Girvin!

@QuantumWitness @EliLevensonFalk 😳 Three truly disturbing thoughts packed in one tweet. (Maybe just two. But three sounds better.)

@EliLevensonFalk Some people are known to have heard back. Not clear if it was because they submitted early, have the right connections, or are just uncommonly handsome. Or maybe all three?
