Are you giving a talk at QIP this year? Here is a thread of pro tips from Dulwich.🧵
1. The most important thing is to prepare yourself mentally. Remember, no matter what happens on the stage, you go on!

But can it be exchanged for a FIFA Peace Prize?
The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred.

Stefan Knecht has written up a nice summary of Garnet Chan's new paper
"No, FeMoCo hasn’t been entirely solved but for its gold-standard active space model (the model QC folks have been looking at), there is now a classical benchmark which provides an excellent baseline for any quantum work."

My recommendation: read the paper, an excellent work marking IMHO another milestone for quantum chemistry, congratulations to all authors.
To add to the cited post, the most important conclusions of the work are highlighted in the picture, a breakdown will be provided in the comments.

... this work gives us a compelling classical benchmark which will serve as excellent baseline for any quantum work.
Yet, world hunger won’t be solved by that work "just yet" but, and that’s the good news, it tells us more about the computational framework and vast(!) resources needed to do so.

The promise of solving the electronic structure of FeMo-co has long been central to the narrative that quantum computers will one day solve world hunger. Now we can finally put the "solving world hunger" part to test since Garnet Chan just solved FeMo-co *classically*!

Something for quantum computing folks to think about. 👇
Every week, Nature publishes yet another breathless puff piece about some AI startup, based only unpublished claims from the company and interviewing only those who work there.
How can the leading scientific journal publish piece after piece that would make Kevin Roose blush?
I think it's that...

Let's not forget that quantum computers will be able to simulate both human biology as well as materials, so they will be more powerful than AI scientists and magic ponies!
“An AI scientist, for example, could figure out how the human brain works, or deliver any gene to any cell in the body.”
Yeah and a magic pony could shit bricks of 24k gold and piss a highly concentrated solution of pure heroin.

Awful for academics but great news for Borges fans
This is horrific. AI hallucinates references, Google Scholar swallows them, libraries adapt their records to Google Scholar as ground truth, and an inexistent paper becomes reality.
Finally, if you can get through the paywall this piece from earlier in the week illuminates how the experience above is just a tiny part of an industrial-scale, global, and sector-wide catastrophe of AI and citations to nonexistent papers in academic publishing bsky.app/profile/mile...
