DC Comics’ Firestorm is the fusion of two individuals, forming one superhero. Similarly, Q-CTRL has fused two distinct protocols—teleportation and error detection—into a singular, more capable protocol. bsiegelwax.substack.com/p/the-quantu... @mjbiercuk.bsky.social

Happy New Year from the #quantum future (Australia)!

It was a great end to the year for our team. Wishing everyone all over the world a happy and peaceful holiday season. And got those who struggle to find peace, let's hope it comes to them soon.

Q-CTRL brand colours. No Shame at all 🤣

No. In Australia the public system provides a strong safety net for everyone and a private supplement lets you "skip the line" for immediate access to non-urgent surgeries. Many imperfections, but infinitely better than the US private system.

There is a name for the use of violence and murder in the name of a political end. If that's what youre into, please take it elsewhere.

You're proving my point sadly. I hate the US health insurance system so much it was a core part of why I moved overseas. It needs dramatic change. Using that to justify murder is not the way

The response to the #UnitedHealthcare CEO murder shows 2 things: 1) there is an unacceptable welcoming of violence in political/policy discourse 2) our oligarchs are forgetting that stability & social license are essential for their continued wealth and safety

Ions are indeed awesome. We published ppm a few years ago so it's great to see this crossing the 1ppm barrier! ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/doc...

It's hard to watch Twitter going so dark. Now it's #techbros claiming Canada is communist and should be annexed. WTF kind of propaganda amplification is going on there?!?

Time for #qoffee from Q-CTRL Would you like The Jitters or Coherence? <Insert joke about before and after Q-CTRL tech>

The work combines deterministic error suppression (see link) with error detection based on flag qubits and stabilizer measurements in the "pre fault tolerance" era...a little bit of #QEC with *no encoding* helps a lot! doi.org/10.1103/Phys...

In case you haven't seen it, here's our latest work from Q-CTRL on using #QEC primitives to actually boost the performance of #quantumcomputers! This is a subtle but important point. Using QEC primitives allows the machine to actually do more, not just demo QEC! arxiv.org/abs/2411.14638

It can absolutely be leveraged in other protocols like QEC! It's a runtime error detection mechanism that post selects out states with errors - but importantly it works without destructive msmt on the state - only on he flag qubits. We just do those to validate fidelity.

mjbiercuk @mjbiercuk.bsky.social · 29/11/2024
To be clear the state creation is not probabilistic - it's unitary. We add an error detection step just the way we would if we were using full QEC.

mjbiercuk @mjbiercuk.bsky.social · 29/11/2024
Thanks! Not quite heralded detection as the state creation is purely unitary. However we use stabiliser measurements on ancillae to detect errors (just like QEC).

Hi everyone. I'm making the migration over from the ruins of twitter. I really hope discussion of #quantum physics and #quantumcomputing is popular here!
