#2Tldr: It's a low loss nonlinear optical component, reducing the loss by a factor of 2.

Now explain like I'm five :)

#4Damnit, now I have to learn Q#...I've been putting it off for more than a year but I guess I need to stay competitive.
Well, actually, maybe this would be the right audience to ask; if I wanted to do some stuff with quantum, would you recommend Q# or is there a cooler language to use now?

#5Any evidence that these are quantum coherent devices? In seems like the only reference in the paper is that "future improvements" will allow entanglement generation. I don't think the use of "closes in" in the HN title would be appropriate if these are such early stage devices that they can't even put a number on the coherence time yet.

It may be that the use of photons gives long coherence in these devices as compared to other types of potential qubits, but then you still have to ask about (coherence time) / (gate time).

#7So it seems like there’s an even more difficult “room temperature challenge” out there.

Heh I thought you were making a joke but Q# is really a thing ?!
Damn I'm old.

Yeah, MS announced awhile ago. [0].
I've had it in my todo's for almost two years now...still haven't played with it yet.
