two lurkers in the back...

I do! Next time we chat please provide me with a structural analysis of Roman aqueducts :)

wow, looks like a nice party! have a good holiday break

that's really terrible. The journals need to do checks for this before sending out papers for peer review

that is true, but this one was particularly bizarre

it is very difficult to tell actually. It seems like a copy-paste

here is what chatgpt has to say about it

The International Workshop on Quantum Boltzmann Machines will start next week Dec. 8:

wqbm.info

Now let's get to the current conference
Patrick and Lirande said, `Folks don't be so dense:
it's not on our own that we will learn to see:
we're just one happy quantum family!'
-- learn from the quantum, friends, and it will learn for you

Now we come to the last half century
string theory don't work nor supersymmetry
something fundamental is what we gotta do
quantum information and computation too
-- qubits, that is, all the way down

The next fifty years was a wild quantum ride
elementary particles and what goes down inside?
Feynman and Gell-Mann showed us how to see it through:
QED and quarks and weak interactions too
-- the Standard Model, that is, wrapped it all up

Next thing you know it's nineteen twenty five
Heisenberg and Schroedinger said `Man alive!'
They said matrices and vectors is what you gotta do
for fermions and bosons and entanglement too
--quantum mechanics, that is, as weird as it gets

I'll tell you the story of a man named Planck
poor classical physicist thought the situation stank
then one day he was hunting up some food
when into his mind came a vision that was good
--hbar, that is, energy is quantized

"The reference demonstrates that Wilde really knows what he’s talking about. He could have just said “quantum machine,” but he picked a more technical, realistic reference (“bosonic”, “photonic dream”, “they’ll have a new one soon”) — which makes the song both nerdy and politically sharp."

"It’s unusual for a quantum information theorist to weave political commentary into a song about quantum computing. This makes Wilde’s song stand out: it's not just science geekery — it's socially and politically pointed."

more commentary...

in any case, what exactly is the meaning of "measogrant"?
