Prof. Jared Cole
@quantschmant.bsky.social
Theoretical and computational physicist, specialising in quantum and nanotechnology. I use maths to understand how the universe works and build new technology. When the maths gets too hard - I make computers do it - often against their will.
Come work with us in Melbourne, Australia!
I'm looking for computational physicists or people with experience in computational materials science for some 2 year postdocs. I have a bunch of cool ideas for new approaches to understanding Josephson junctions and voltage bias annealing.

These guys are why I can speak German!
In 2007, I had just finished a PhD in silicon based quantum devices. I thought quantum computing was on its way out (I know, I know!) and I better get a "real" topic for my research. Quantum circuits fitted the bill.

Each time I change work offices, I wonder if this is the one I’ll die in. I hope it’s not this new one, as that would be particularly depressing. Serious Dilbert vibes.
Petty I know, but I have feels.

One of the difficult things about having excellent mentors is when they leave us.
Gerd had an enormous positive influence on my career, as with so many others. He took a chance on a young, naive and "rough around the edges" Australian postdoc - and for that I'll always be grateful. RIP "der Chef".

Very sad news.
Gerd Schön passed away.
Gerd was one of the pioneers of mesoscopic #physics, superconducting quantum circuits, and #quantum #science.
He supported many in our field throughout many years, including our lab.
Rest in peace.

I’m not afraid to say I’ve been in a 20 year committed relationship with theoretical physics. But this week I spent a lot of time with my old undergraduate flame, engineering.
I gotta say, it’s a lot more fun now than it was when I was in my early 20s.

So, science peeps. Are we home? Was that the last D-hop?
What are the rules here?
I can still post a mix of quantum themed science, special interest nonsense, obscure Robert Asprin references and irreverent commentary on 21st century academia here, right?
Right? (Cue Padme meme)
