1. Thread on topological quantum computing (TQC). TQC is a radical approach to quantum computing where the individual topological qubits (Tqb) are intrinsically protected against decoherence by physics, making quantum error correction unnecessary. #quantum #QuantumComputing

Here are some enen more technical papers, all concluding that there is T=0 Mott transtion in an eh system-- it is always a superfluid of excitons at T=0

Among all the hyped usage of quantum computers, the possibility of crypto hacking is the most likely since the one (only?) task QCs can do is integer factorization, but we need ~ 10 billion qubits, right now we have ~ 10 qubits, so it will be a while

This work by our student Jacob may be the first direct use of Vision Transformer (Google Brain: 'An image is worth 16x16 words' arXiv:2010.11929) in the search for non-Abelian Majorana zero modes for topological quantum computing

What is the probability for rebirth/reappearance/resurrection precisely as the same individual from a molecular statistical perspective? Roughly it is 1 in (10^23)^ (10^23), a number so small that just writing it out as a decimal will take longer than the lifetime of the universe

@gppcarleo In GO all the 'machine' has to do is beat humans-- machines are often much better than humans in solving specific tasks-- cars can go 200mph! This proves nothing about solving strong correlation problems with large exponential Hilbert space

@PimentelES1987 The estimated LLM scaling exponent makes it unlikely that anything resembling a "solution" can emerge from the current AI unless one is talking about a 10-20 spin Hilbert space
