Belated congratulations to Cory Aitchison on his first paper and Gates Scholarship to do his PhD at Cambridge. @DomJWilliamson explains our work in this thread
I'm sure that, like me, you have wondered what happens to boundaries and defects in a topological code that has no string operators? In a new work, we explore this question for the cubic code: arxiv.org/abs/2308.00138 Check out this table summarizing open boundary encodings.

I have 3 1) your PI shouldn’t be the single source of truth for science or your performance. Find other faculty or people in power that can be your mentors. 2) create a strong network of collaborators. 3) listen more than you talk. But when you talk make it count.
What’s the one piece of advice for entering PhD students that you wish someone had shared with you?
