In his latest work my student @evanhockings.bsky.social shows you can use ACES noise characterisation to train a decoder and improve noise suppression in the surface code even for very large codes.

Why characterise noise in syndrome extraction circuits? One reason: directly improving quantum error correction!

In simulations of the surface code, we find that noise-aware decoding—calibrating the decoder with noise estimates—improves the code's error suppression factor.

Large scale characterisation of errors in quantum computers. Very excited to see @evanhockings.bsky.social first paper out just days before he submits his thesis.

ArXiv quant-ph needs to be split up! Paul Ginsparg lists Daniel Gottesman's proposed subcategories at his @aspenphysics.bsky.social talk. He is looking for feedback: please reply, dm, or email.

Modern-Day Oracles or Bullshit Machines?

Jevin West (@jevinwest.bsky.social) and I have spent the last eight months developing the course on large language models (LLMs) that we think every college freshman needs to take.

Submissions for QEC 2025 are now open through March 28.

This will easily be the most exciting conference on quantum error correction yet!

Roadtrip! Heading from @equscoe.bsky.social EQUS workshop in Noosa to the @psiquantum.bsky.social Brisbane office opening, with Tom Stace and Andrew Doherty. In Gerard Milburn’s car! Going to be a very #quantum drive

Repost this if you’re old enough to remember when they tried to convince us that “global warming stopped in 2008” (or whenever).
