We’re changing the world through quantum technology, and it takes all kinds of people. Come and work with us.

We’re scouring Bristol for an aspiring electronics hacker to join us at Qontrol. If you know your RJ-11s from your RJ-45s, your through-holes from your SMTs, and your 0402s from your MELFs, get in touch. Pass it on. ⚡️qontrol.co.uk/jobs/

We’ve been a bit quiet on here lately but we want to introduce you to our new employee…

@BosonBulmer So it was BS all along…

Massive result today on classical simulation of GBS. I personally believe that it means: **Gaussian Boson Sampling experiments no longer hold a quantum advantage** Huge congrats to Changhun Oh, Minzhao Liu et al. scirate.com/arxiv/2306.037…

1. New York, 2023 2. San Francisco, 2020 3. Los Angeles, 2020 4. Sydney, 2019 In the past 4 years alone, each city has experienced it's worst day of wildfire smoke in recorded history. The Earth is on fire. Our negligence is killing our planet. We must change our ways.

@quantunmise This is crazy-talk Tunmise! I’m no theorist, but eq 1 isn’t normalised. If you want to start from eq 3, fine, but then you need to symmetrise the last term (or just use second quantisation from the outset)

🚨Controversial preprint alert!🚨 “#Quantum #Entanglement allows faster-than-light communication” Not yet peer reviewed, so either way please don’t crucify me 🫣 😁 adetunmise.com/quantumftlcomm/ Read, reflect, and weigh in with your thoughts. #Debate #QuantumRevolution #fasterthanlight

We choose to build quantum computers in this decade and do the other things not because they are easy, but because …

Congrats Marcus! 👏

@metoffice Out the back window, over Bristol!

3/ A really well-travelled person could have potentially met Socrates (470-399 BCE) Confucius (551-479 BCE) and Buddha (563-483 BCE).

Something I notice about twitter: how much people dunk on one another. Certainly far more than in my e'day life. I've worked hard to remove it from my feed, muting & unfollowing people. And yet I still see it a lot. I wonder how much it's due to design decisions about the medium?

Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.

Radon transforms decompose a 2D function into lines, producing a sinogram (left). It has applications in many fields (e.g. CT scans). Typical presentations usually go through Fourier transforms and whatnot, but that hides the magic. Here's a more brute force approach. ;)

A VERY good morning #Bristol👋 Kicking off day two with the first mass ascent at a @bristolballoon fiesta in THREE YEARS! 🤩

We're currently advertising a faculty position in quantum computing theory (broadly interpreted) at @BristolUniMaths - closing date 15 May. bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find/deta…

We are aware of the concern that has been raised regarding tweets posted by Researchfish. We understand and acknowledge the serious issues raised by researchers and we will be discussing these with Researchfish as a matter of urgency.

A fabulous thread, filleting a thin-skinned Researchfish 🎣

Come and work with us, at @QETLabsBristol! New lectureship with the @BristolQE CDT: bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find/deta…

Read about the first homodyne detection in the 2-micron band, published in @OpticaPubsGroup’s #OpEx today! 🚀 #bigphotonsarebestphotons doi.org/10.1364/OE.450… @biele_jake @jcf_matthews @QETLabsBristol @BristolQE
