38 points to my daughter! Congrats on a great word.

Mama etna has calmed down in time for our flight home to be undisturbed. Surreal to see videos of scary fast pyroclastic flows only a few days after we had a tour up there! (Check the news if you don’t know what I am talking about)

Family holiday. At a loss to name this mythical creature, maybe it is the long forgotten mercentaur! It looks functional for neither sea nor land.

When your marketing celebs get old and need name tags to be recognisable. LA highlights.

“Business mode” Going to economist quantum event in London. 1 day before look at website and surprised to see 1000+ expected attendees, with photos of previous events showing a high density of suits. 5 mins b4 leaving house recheck email and see “dress code: business attire” Slight panic…

Thanks Alice & Bob for organising a wonderful week at Les Houches. In, particular Jeremie Guillluad. It was a most lovely event, with great people and surroundings. And a real balance between theory and experiment! I have these mints as a souvenir, and my kids keep asking …

Casey presents a magic state distillation experiment on Gemini, the latest device from Quera. There have been papers before that do MSD on physical qubits, but I think this is the first MSD demo on d>=3 encoded qubits.

Earl Campbell @quantumearl.bsky.social · 22/04/2025

(Yesterday) Bela Bauer of MS talking about their progress. Less hyper than the recent PR as the roadmap slide doesn’t claim that the 8 qubit device is “done”.

Ted Yoder summarised the onslaught of qLDPC logic papers (for fixed architectures) from IBM (and others). I’ve read most/some of these papers but had a few gaps remaining in my understanding before today …

First time at Les Houches, school of physics for a QEC workshop. Great talks and walks so far.

Waldraff presenting “lattice surgery” with rep codes spilt from a surface code on a 17 qubit transmon chip similar to the infamous krinner et al setup.

A mishmash of slides from NQCC scalability conference, which I intended to post with commentary, but now have a backlog problem so here you go without context:

Earl Campbell @quantumearl.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

Oxford! I will be talking Thursday at NQCC scalability conference for a 9am keynote and also here for the QCi3 hub meeting. Beautiful as ever. First time staying at Keble college.

To defeat the dreaded lurgy. Very surprising number of people ill today at work. Some massive superspreader event has occured.

Editorial in news scientist special issue on QC. Publish and show your workings! For a technology with such potential, and so little wider understanding, companies should evidence their claims. Topical the given other news today This is a principle we follow at @riverlaneltd.bsky.social

Found in the wild! Megaquop quantum computing article! Review to follow…

A nice day. Where we had some informal science talks from riverlane and our nearby friends at ucl and quantinuum.

It’s that time of year again, when I start the long commute to Sheffiled Uni to teach quantum computing, first thing 9am Monday morning.

Today is the day …. I was trying to avoid X, but just having the app there meant that through habit I kept checking it.

Part 2: wine running low, and socks off.

It is finally on YouTube. Evening viewing. One sip for each NISQ, a gulp for every MegaQuOp… until the risk of a morning headache becomes too high.

The Nasdaq has barely moved in the last month, so this isn’t quantum being pulled along with the rest of tech.

Earl Campbell @quantumearl.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

Wow. Looks like some correlated movement happening here in quantum stock land! I know Rigetti had some good news recently, though some generally positive quantum sentiment seems to be at work.

Todays seminar speaker at Riverlane hasn’t even started yet and I have already learned something new: that Bell labs still exists (in some form) and is doing quantum research today!

From the other place.... QEC zoo is cool. But should we also start dumping stim circuits there or in some common repo?

Frost but no snow. Warmer here than in other parts of the uk.

Earl Campbell @quantumearl.bsky.social · 19/11/2024

Followed by Ben barber talking about RUNESCAPE vs MEGAQUOP.

And sheltered on the warmth of my train, I shall read a bargin from a second hand shop in the Peak District.

I will try and post everyday to kickstart this thing even if I can’t find something meaningful to post about. So in true Brit style, I say: it is awfully drizzly this morning.

Today I pass 5000 followers on X and 50 on Bluesky. Only 2 more orders of magnitude to catch up.

Some follow backs in first few minutes, thanks :) So some signs of life here…
