Super Artikel - das Detail mit dem "Frisöer" ist besonders gelungen. In diesem Sinne - bin schon mal auf die SoMe Kommentare gespannt. Da weiß ich nie ob ich lachen oder weinen soll.

I like your illustrations as it illustrates the AE conceptually. For me the difference seems to be mostly about whether you want to emphasize the conceptual or the actual - basically the "what" and the "how". The NN illustrations put emphasis on how you can do it practically

In this article we describe different ways of encoding vibrational wave functions on a fault tolerant quantum computer. While this has been done before the size and scale of experiments are beyond previous work and some of the strategies we discuss have not been used in this context before

After a long time in the making I am happy that this piece of work finally sees the light of day: Fault-tolerant vibrational structure calculations

Fault-tolerant quantum computations of vibrational wave functions

Quantum computation of vibrational properties of molecules is a promising platform to obtain computational advantages for computational chemistry. However, fault-tolerant quantum computations of vibra...

I will soon advertise a call for a 2y-postdoc position in my group intended for a talented, motivated, and ambitious candidate to help develop new ways to promote bonds as kernels in the interpretation of chemical simulations.

Two points:

1) Of course QC is not anywhere near solving real problems more (economically) efficiently than classical compute, but useful results may be obtained

2) We are currently looking for beta-users for our API - at the cost of providing us feedback. Shoot me a message if you are interested

Not completely personal post, but yet somehow anyways (since I love #quantum, #compchem and #quantumcomputing):

We (i.e. the company I work for: Kvantify) show in an upcoming webinar hosted by IQM how quantum computers are easily accessible for chemical calculations: meetiqm.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Using quantum computing for the simulation of butyronitrile dissociation. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar...

Join us for an in-depth look at how Kvantify’s Quantum Development Kit (QDK), running on IQM Resonance—the first quantum computer purpose-built for chemistry—is enabling powerful molecular simulations...

Congrats on the grant. Hope you will get good candidates to drive that project

How can I create an EMP strong enough to fry my neighbors HiFi system?

Gave a talk in Copenhagen yesterday at a small scientific conference on quantum computing with great attendees. It was an interesting experience after so many years out of touch with "my field". Hope to deepen the interaction in the future.

Below is the part of the presentation I am most proud of:

After a very long time it is finally peer reviewed and out:

pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

The preprint (arxiv.org/abs/2408.11091) is from last August and (v1) not that different from the published version. For some reason I always get content-fatigue when it comes to the final touches.

Quantum computing (QC) provides a promising avenue for enabling quantum chemistry calculations, which are classically impossible due to computational complexity that increases exponentially with syste...

I bought that book when I was in my teens and did not understand it at all. Now, nowadays we can all see what he means every day when reading the news

How do you even short stocks. There are plenty that I would have shorted recently (among others the quantum companies in the beginning of this year)

Politics is a strange thing - and I feel I am missing a basic nugget of education here. Why is it that on a personal level it mostly does not matter where people come from and we get along just fine - but as soon as we start building and thinking in groups (tribes, countries etc) it turns to 💩

Now seems to be a good time to attract scientific talent from the US ...

Europe should get their act together and invest in such individuals.

The question is: why do we as a society allow for a group of hyper-wealthy people to form in the first place.

Don't get me wrong - I have nothing against people becoming wealthy, but there should be limits. "Any system without negative feedback will overshoot" (think this is from Konrad Lorenz)

Talking about Ioannidis - does anyone know if there is a site or paper checking his claims made during the pandemic? My mother in law keeps telling me how right he was about everything right from the start - and I know too few details about all of that to come back with a qualified answer

Patrick @qmechanic.bsky.social · Jan 30

Yeah - in have just been on their page as well. Well known images - I have produced many of that kind myself 😄

Anyways - their money-givers seem legit open philanthropy etc but I am still sceptical

What is this institute of replication? Asking since it has an "interesting" angle here - which I would interpret as: the accounts we tried to flee from by moving to mastodon and bluesky are in close pursuit, still trying to change the discourse.
