Popular quantum physics in a nutshell: Make stupid assumptions, win stupid conclusions.

More on ARC job cuts & restructure:
ARC’s spending $374k on consultants for organisational “review” & “planning & development”.
They’re also spending $765k on “risk management”.
That’s $1.1 million on consultants being spent over 1 year.
Un. Believable.
Slow clap, ARC.
My nephew (age 3.5) is coming to visit my lab next week and his top priority is checking whether or not I have all the items in @csferrie.com's "Goodnight Lab." I made sure I know where the multimeter is and I found a spectrometer down the hall so he won't think I'm a fraud! 📘🧪😂
Thanks for reminding me I need to work on the "Lab Safety Anniversary Edition"... 😂😂

Glad they were well loved in your home!

I doom the concept of that 2021 Nature paper by showing how to compile any distributed quantum protocol into real-only gates while preserving locality.

Main reason for me is 100% of the time they just start driving and ask what suburb you're going to and how to get there. Like, if I knew how to get there, I'd have your job!
Internet. You know what to do.
If you want something done right, do it yourself.

Oh, the irony!
What point do you think I'm making?
I came for the "thank you" chocolates but stayed for the teacher's saying:
