    For the averaging, you need to detect some experimental signal over some time window. The stronger that signal, the less time you have to average for to get the same uncertainty. S…

    Something the article touches on: communication is not just about how we express ourselves, it's about this mutual respect that that we have to grow into. That crosses any boundary…

    Sounds really nice! Do you have an example of the concise, high quality communciation the Japanese team used? It'd be interesing to see what they focused on to make it so clear.

    Putting aside the beauty of both the synth and its purpose, what I'm curious about is the learning process in making this. The running theme is that you picked up several new skill…

    Indeed, it is nuanced, as you point out. For example, you can't just attenuate a laser and use that as a single photon source (instead you'd get a coherent state). To realise a tru…

    Somewhat related: there's a relatively big push for optical interconnects and integrated optics in quantum computing. Maybe this article yields insight onto what may happen in futu…

    Don't be discouraged! It might even be that 2D is better than 3D in this case: it's all about how it sounds, right? And if a 2D simulation can be less expensive than a 3D while sou…

    Thanks, will hit you up later! I was using the demo just now: the sounds you get out of this are actually better than I expected! And I see what you meant in the videos about intui…

    Thank you for this, it looks very cool! Remind me of Korg's Berlin branch with their Phase8 instrument: https://korg.berlin/ . Life imitates art imitates life :) I highly support a…

    No, didn't work there. I looked up any connection to ARTIQ they may have: it seems they do full stack QC, as they have their own quantum compiler [1]. But I'm not really sure what …

    (minor edit: for observing experimental signatures of photon interference, nanosecond precision is the minimum to see anything when synchronising your experimental bits and pieces,…

    Very interesting! What's the fundamental physical limits here? Namely, timing precision, latency and jitter? How fast could PyXL bytecode react to an input? For info, there is ARTI…

    So I'll take a layman's view here since I've only cursory experience of the big data tasks that this software seems to made for. Or maybe the pitch is still different and it went o…

    Do you think that craftmanship and longevity, in terms of keeping these people on board, go hand-in-hand? As an example, Hamamatsu Photonics has been in the optics field a long tim…

    PhD in Quantum Optics and Atomic Physics from Oxford here (they call it 'DPhil in Atomic & Laser Physics' here). I fully agree with what everyone else is saying here, it's really g…
