that sweet moment when, for once, enlightened reason defeats myopic bureaucracy. Definitely having a beer tonight.

If you wanna do some simulations of processes where you're heralding non-gaussian states from gaussian states + photon detectors but you want to include realistic errors like loss and distinguishability, you should check out our paper!

"No condono la astrología. Divulgarla en los medios de comunicación debería ser tan escandaloso como repartir cigarrillos en los colegios". Una lectura para cerrar la primera semana del 2025.
Para Navidad y Año Nuevo @elespectador nos propuso el complejo ejercicio de hablar positivamente sobre personas que estén en una orilla ideológica distinta. El resultado es "Mi amigo, el astrólogo" hoy @EEopinion elespectador.com/opinion/col…

Driving is a privilege, not a right. It should be harder to get/keep your license, and if you have multiple DUIs and/or at-fault accidents, you should lose your license permanently - no matter what age you are.

Nicolas (github.com/NDalbec) presented the results of his mémoire de maîtrise, on Accurate unsupervised photon counting from transition edge sensor signals! The results he obtained are reported on this preprint arxiv.org/abs/2411.05737 .

Check out our latest paper on a topic at the intersection of quantum optics and non-Hermitian physics. It is co-first-authored by Polina Blinova, an undergraduate student from Cornell who worked in my research group for two summers, and Evgeny Moiseev, a postdoc in my group.

Supercontinuum's highly sensitive to input's parameters. Machine learning trained on Wigner distros of the input can achieve convergence speedups. Results: 12 fs pulses, full control of dispersive wave, and high-order solutions. 💪Check out aXiv arxiv.org/abs/2411.14410 @femtoQ

The panel discussion on the “future of quantum computing” at #qtml2024 features @quantum_aram, @andrewmchilds, Scott Aaronson, and Ed Farhi delivers a number of highly insightful points. To date, it is not so clear what #quantumcomputing can deliver for the the unstructured problems in common in #machinelearning.
