I don't think research papers normally come with a simple portable way for others to rerun the calculations. At some point the code is complicated enough to be impossible to just proofread without running it.

  Yeah I would say that the 'some point' is frontier quantum research. Which makes it even more confusing as to how something like this is not caught.

  Pretty sure you responded to an AI bot, looking at their comment history.

    And the structure of their sentences, unless they're doing that on purpose for some reason

      Ok I don't normally call "bot" but yes it is. "It's not a sentence – it's a DSL"

    Research code is stereotypically awful

    I actually created a template to make research dossiers to do exactly that on GitHub. it works, and self hosts, and has a DOI, and blockchain timestamps... I'm a quantum physicist that left academia cause it was too slow for my taste, and I think the technology is here now for open-sourcing science research.

  I actually have been fiddling with something like this. Self publishing on GitHub, numbers that are run in real time. If code can be open-sourced, I think research can start to be. I started using linux in 2019, and honestly, though I don't use it now (windows-turned-mac man, sigh), open source is a solid concept.

  I'm surprised they even included source code at all.
