At the same time, I discovered our local tea provider munches a ton of branches into our Lapsang Souchong supply. Disgusting.

We are all Dr. Brunkow 😴
“Dr. Brunkow said she did not expect to win a Nobel Prize. ‘My phone rang, and I saw a number from Sweden and thought, well that’s just spam of some sort, so I disabled the phone and went back to sleep,’“ www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/h...

Interesting bit of sociology: They are really studiously avoiding any mention of quantum computing. First and only mention came in the last few words of the presentation by Johansson.

So now EU has decided we have to declare all the travels we are going to make *beforehand*, detailing number of people, destinations, actual travel expenses, and purpose of trip. According to PO, "how do you know the money you need if you do not know beforehand?" 😩

The tensor network conference at Krakow starts with Frank Verstraete's talk. It will be a pleasure to talk about our work on quantum inspired methods for numerical analysys later on today

Scientists at JILA led by Jun Ye have built one of the world’s most stable lasers—so precise it can guide 3000 quantum bits with record-breaking accuracy. This breakthrough could supercharge atomic clocks and quantum computers.

Started off as a historical perspective but ended in a bit of a mild reprimand 🤣 Quantum technologies are exciting but there is still a lot of work to do.
