Check your Google Scholar profiles. I found an article added to mine that had completely fabricated the authors and abstract, including an author who was born after the publication date ... I think AI filled in the blanks because the first page of the scan is missing online.

Hans Briegel telling us how to do GenAI with measurement based quantum computing. Lots of MBQC today, Richard Jozsa related it to IQP, and more from Elham Kashefi after lunch at #FQC2025 in Edinburgh, part of the #quantumfringe.

Want to use one of the fastest quantum simulators but hate writing python or C++?

I've just open sourced a project with high level Rust bindings for Qulacs. github.com/quantinuum-d...

Still reasonably unstable but hopefully minimally usable now!
