When things cool down, they seek a lower-energy, lower-entropy state. For example water vapor will condense into little droplets of mist when you cool it. Physicists have taken this concept of "condensation" and generalized the heck out of it. Let's look at a few examples.

This kind of AI-assisted exploration of mathematical landscapes is exactly what we are betting on at Spooqy: that agents, with well-crafted tools at their disposal, will be able to make advances along directions which human ingenuity alone has found hard to pursue.

For the past 5 years, Nicola Pinzani and I have been hard at work to quietly re-define our understanding of how to discover, specify and certify new quantum protocols. Realising that work into the Spooqy technology roadmap will be our crowning achievement.

In an age of AI-supercharged adversaries, the assumptions of cryptography are crumbling one by one. Under an onslaught of novel attacks, we are quickly reaching the end of "No one has broken this yet" as a practical security paradigm. 1/7

Every week I grow more firmly convinced that the US frontier AI labs have been significantly over-invested into. Commoditisation is the inevitable end state of these technologies: Apple is leading the local AI hardware charge, Chinese labs are supplying the software. 👇 unsloth.ai/docs/models/...

Einstein derided it as “Spooky action at a distance”, and insisted it meant the theory was broken. He was wrong. The spookiness is real, it is fundamental, and it is the most powerful resource for security ever discovered. We named our company after it. Introducing Spooqy — Action at a Distance.

The recent Google AI shift of power from London to the Bay Area has triggered the usual ennui about UK tech. As a longstanding London-maxi, I see it rather differently: it creates an opening for us to finally grow our own frontier AI. That space is ours to fill now.

As a PR pro, we used to tell people to get ahead of various online controversies by making statements that refute them. It turns out this is the absolute worst way to respond to criticism or correct errors of any kind. Social media has made this worse. When you respond, it kick-starts issues again.

Error correction isn’t the only place where corporate researchers have brazenly redefined terms to mimic progress (cf attempted redefinitions of quantum volume, solve, utility, quantum, advantage, majorana, etc). Quantum computing is hard, but we won’t get there by pretending. Do the work!

The [[1,1,1]] code is the best code. Why else would it repeat three times that it is number 1? Unlike other codes, which are only now beginning to break even, [[1,1,1]] codes have always achieved results equal to the best physical qubits. Call now to leverage the [[1,1,1]] code for your use cases!

The "hide the exponential" game Scott Aaronson has complained about for decades is alive and well: arxiv.org/abs/2412.13164 Yes, Shor's algorithm with 3 registers only needs very basic operations. No, you can't pack a 2^2000 level quantum state into 1 oscillator and then operate accurately on it.

That's the thing: surface code improvements are so much more interesting than yet-another-RCS-benchmark. But most of the excitement communicated to the broader public is about an utterly nonsensical number and an outlandish statement about "lending credence" to parallel universes.

When claiming that you've beaten classical supercomputers by a factor of 10^30 isn't enough, why not spice things up and suggest that your results lead credence to the existence of parallel universes?
Screenshot from https://blog.google/technology/research/google-willow-quantum-chip/ where it is claimed that Google's Willow chip out-performed classical supercomputers by performing a computation 10^30 times faster, and that this leads credence to the notion that quantum computation takes place in parallel universes.
