Today we’re releasing Pinnacle, our first fault-tolerant quantum computing architecture. It shows that order-of-magnitude reductions in the cost of fault tolerance are possible, with meaningful implications for timelines to useful quantum computing. We’ve also raised a $6m Seed round.

Excited to have been part of this project @IcebergQuantum helping to make useful quantum computers a reality as soon as possible! Check out our blog to learn more: iceberg-quantum.com/blog/modular-a…

excited to share some of what we’ve been cooking up at Iceberg. we introduce fast surgery, a method for performing logic in qldpc codes quicker. check out our blog post. iceberg-quantum.com/blog/fast-surg…

We're working with Diraq to accelerate the path to useful quantum computing with spin qubits. diraq.com/newsdesk/icebe…

Very excited to be working at @IcebergQuantum and to be part of this great collaboration with @OxfordIonics!

What can natural history teach us about AI and consciousness? More than you might think! Because in the grand sweep of life's history, nature has played imitation games before. Find out more: quantemplation.substack.com/p/ai #scicomm #ArtificialIntelligence

Today's Quantemplation is all about alchemy. Find out how turning lead into gold went from serious pursuit to naive fantasy to scientific reality! And what that journey teaches us about science... #scicomm quantemplation.substack.com/p/the-science-…

Today's Quantemplation is all about irrational numbers - the unobservable, indescribable oddities at the foundation of physics. quantemplation.substack.com/p/irrational-n… #scicomm

Today's Quantemplation is all about stars! What are they made of? How do they work? And how do we know? quantemplation.substack.com/p/knowing-the-… #scicomm

How can the heat of the Sun cool you? Find out in today's Quantemplation: The Cool Power of Evaporation quantemplation.substack.com/p/the-cool-pow… #scicomm

How is it that measuring a quantum system can change it? And what does it have to do with sending secret messages? These are the topics of today's Quantemplation! quantemplation.substack.com/p/how-quantum-… #scicomm

How do we know that aliens don't live among us? Find out in today's Quantemplation: quantemplation.substack.com/p/the-genetic-…

What is dark energy? Why do we believe it exists? And do we have any idea where it comes from? Find out in today's Quatemplation! quantemplation.substack.com/p/dark-energy-… #scicomm

Today's Quantemplation is about how statistical mechanics and cosmology lead to the prediction that you may be just a disembodied mind in space that exists only for this moment. And what this could be saying about the nature of physics. quantemplation.substack.com/p/boltzmann-br… #scicomm

Today's Quantemplation answers two of life's most important questions: 1) How can I rob a bank? 2) Should I withdraw all my money from the bank and stuff it in a mattress? quantemplation.substack.com/p/quantum-comp… #scicomm

There is a gas toxic enough to cause a mass extinction event and destructive enough to turn whole landscapes to ash and vapour. But we must inhale it almost constantly or we will die! Today's Quantemplation is about this peculiar gas: oxygen! quantemplation.substack.com/p/oxygen-the-k… #scicomm

Arthur C. Clarke said "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". Perhaps for no technology is that truer than electricity. Today's Quantemplation: How does electricity work, and why is it so incredibly powerful? #SciComm quantemplation.substack.com/p/how-electric…

We are each made of seven octillion atoms. Why do we need so many? Today's Quantemplation is about how the order and predictability on which life depends emerges from the chaos of the atomic world only at a large enough size. tinyurl.com/2b7z7e78 #scicomm

Today is the first day of summer in Australia, which means it's a great time to think about sunburn! Today's Quantemplation: Why do people get so much more sunburnt in Sydney than in London, even on days that are no more hot and sunny? tinyurl.com/2wj8ymvm #SciComm

We are often told quantum mechanics says that cats can be alive and dead at the same time. If you think that sounds too crazy to be true, then you're right! Today's Quantemplation is about how Schrodinger's cat is not as mysterious as it seems. tinyurl.com/2z2anu44 #SciComm
