Introducing the InQuanto Summer School for Quantum Computational Chemists! We’re pleased to announce dates for the inaugural InQuanto Summer School, taking place this September in Cambridge, UK -- September 14th - 18th, and registration is now open: quantinuum.com/inquanto-summe…


i think you need to be a little bit stupid to work on neural nets. if you're too smart and too good at math you won't make any progress


Keynes acquired Newton's private papers and was shocked at what he found. @michael_nielsen reads the key passage in the essay Keynes published afterwards: "Newton was not the first of the age of reason. He was the last of the magicians, the last great mind which looked out on the visible and intellectual world with the same eyes as those who began to build our intellectual inheritance rather less than 10,000 years ago." And as Michael jokes, what are these great scientists actually doing? Writing down squiggles on a page based on observations and these mysterious cosmic connections, then using it to accomplish miracles. Launching rockets, creating atomic bombs. "That's exactly what magicians do." Keynes was shocked to find that Newton's alchemy and theology used the same methods as his physics: "There was extreme method in his madness. All his unpublished works on esoteric and theological matters are marked by careful learning, accurate method and extreme sobriety of statement. They are just as sane as the Principia, if their whole matter and purpose were not magical. They were nearly all composed during the same twenty-five years of his mathematical studies."


Oxbridge / LSE / Imperial should be forced to have regional campuses in deprived regions. In France, this is what their elite universities are forced to do - in order to bring high quality research and education to forgotten communities… why not in Britain?





had too many students not able to install latex on their computers, and the only way they write tex documents is on Overleaf. This feels wrong. Tex is supposed to be open software, but still being used via an enshittified entity, online dependent. It shouldn't be like this

Our algorithms team has introduced the Quantum Paldus Transform (QPT) — a novel technique that simplifies complex quantum problems by harnessing the power of symmetry, a concept rooted in the work of pioneers like Noether and Pauli. quantinuum.com/blog/were-taki…
