I didn't know solar panels were under debate. So the argument here is against the magnetic field?

The textbook story of measurement as instantaneous collapse hides a rich dynamical landscape. Now we've mapped it. arxiv.org/abs/2602.02672 @fabienlafont.bsky.social

What theory didn't predict: decoherence rearranges the whole picture. The first two transitions swap order. The real phase diagram is fundamentally restructured, not just smeared.

First: oscillations suddenly die at an exceptional point- quantum jumps are born. Second: the qubit gets stuck near one state, dwell time diverges. Third: the Zeno regime- more measurement, less dynamics.

Theory (Snizhko et al., 2020) predicted the crossover from quantum to classical-looking dynamics wouldn't be smooth. Instead: three sharp dynamical transitions. We've now seen all three for the first time in a superconducting qubit.

What happens when you open Schrödinger's box not all at once, but gradually? We answered this experimentally- and the answer isn't what anyone expected. 🧵

Not sure what it is, but pretty sure it's not quantum. @quantuminthings.bsky.social

In our lab everybody has converged toward Sony. Each person bought at a different time so the models are different, but generally speaking everybody is happy and is able to work with the fridge noise in the background...

It's only entanglement if it comes from the entangle region in France. Otherwise it's just bubbling correlation.

Our latest preprint is a review explaining all about quantum Zeno physics. Again following @dulwichquantum.bsky.social 's rule, here's the meme summary (the answer is yes) arxiv.org/abs/2506.12679

I have a theory that Andreas just adds slides to the same presentation throughout his career and only hides different ones for different occasions.

Totally agree. In the research they summarize (I didn't read the full version) the examiners got the CV where *all authors* are named. If they were from the field and facing the first author's name more frequently it would have made a difference for sure.

Come to my talk at the APS meeting! Danielle and I are presenting in a two-part talk our experimental results showing the transition into the quantum jump regime, and the onset of the quantum Zeno effect. It's going to be great! :) Monday, session B17, room 161. summit.aps.org/events/MAR-B...

Maybe someone from Amazon about their architecture?

We started with b, the CNC workshop here, but now we mostly order from Xometry and do small stuff/fixes at the "traditional" workshop here.
