What to do? Senior researchers must lead by example, knowing that not everything will pan out. What I'm suggesting below may not work everywhere, but here's my own advice: 1/ 620351

A new #arXiv paper from our team proposes the 'ghost protocol’ to enable AMO qubits to catch up with superconducting qubits, which lag in #QEC cycle speeds. It addresses the challenges of scalable #QuantumErrorCorrection in the context of fast transversal logic👇🧪 173

Reposted by Aleksei IvanovPatrick @qmechanic.bsky.social · 26/11/2024#compchem and #drugdiscovery people - do you have any good references for where quantum chemistry actually makes a big difference or could make a big difference in the drug discovery process? To my understanding - often, the sampling error is much bigger than the electronic error when using FFs. 273
