Some qubits are Doppler cooled, causing it to fluoresce. In these case you can observe the emitted light using a special camera. Check this out: https://petapixel.com/2018/02/12/picture-single-atom-wins-sc...

I know about the conventional 2-qubit Molmer-Sorensen but not the 5-qubit version. Could I ask what it is?

Part of the issue for me is that I don't think her research on quantum foundations is viewed very highly. Some would probably consider it completely pointless. In her videos, she claims that the majority of physicists do not understand

I think it's because what constitutes core physics is more standardised and less variables across universities. In addition, the core syllabus of physics tends to have concepts that build on the previous very nicely and ultimately comb

Differential forms looks really cool and I really want to learn more about them at some point! That said, isn't calculus, mainly the chain rule, enough to tell you what operations are allowed?

A few years ago I met up with someone who just graduated and who's only experience with programming was MATLAB during his degree. To my surprise he'd been hired to use Rust and was telling me how great the recently released async

Even if the functionality is in binary blobs, can open source drivers still take advantage of this?

In all seriousness, I think people not reading the full article is a recurring theme on hn. For controversial topics, it's a major problem: people don't establish what's actually being debated, instead attacking/defended

Regardless of whether one agrees with it or not, the point is to include trans men, because they think that they're better described as men. If trans women were to get pregnant by some not yet existing medical procedure, why would they

by JBits 4y ago
We're talking about trans men getting pregnant, not trans women. While trans men are a minority, those percentages are multiple orders of magnitude too small.

It's kind of sad that in response to an article which initially talks about women's feelings, the actual feelings of women aren't talked about at all. An extremely good point made by another commentator is that the article tu

I'm not familiar with the topic so I don't know, but it seems reasonable that the question at a minimum needs to be asked. That said, if they've transitioned they (I think) need to stop taking testosterone, which points out t

I never said that cis women don't deserve this right. If you look my other responses in this thread you'll see that I have expressed that they do multiple times. I also don't just mean accomodation in terms of words: if trans

I'm not sure what the best words to use are, as if many cis women find these gender neutral terms offensive, they have a right to complain and push back. However, trans men have a right not to be ignored, for their view in what they&#x

As far as I can tell you're the first person here to comment about the actual article without stopping after the beginning. While I'm guilty of this too, almost everyone here hasn't clarified what we're actually arguing

I wouldn't say your view is "hateful" or "problematic" but trans men can give birth, and if they are ignored then their quality of care will be impaired. It's also important to note that it's necessary to

Accomodation to receive good medical treatment is more important than accomodating feelings about words.

This aligns with my opinions so you're not really disagreeing with me. Most of the comments here never established what's actually being discussed. Personally I think a big source of contention is that a lot of people don't a

The issue is that the costs of accomodating trans people are greatly exaggerated to push for discimination. This article is focused on language which is obviously of great importance to everyone involved. I support the writer's hurt fe

More boys being encouraged to go into tech is a potential reason. However, personally I think the biggest reason is that lots of people with ASD are in tech, and there is an overlap between ASD and trans. All of the times I can remember whe

Biological differences are real but lots of them can be changed by hormones. People caring about how they are categorised is universally central to a lot of people, this article illustrates that. I think ciswomen have the right to be upset

I find the narrative being pushed here ridiculously hypocritical. The problem isn't that students are against free speech but that they have their own opinions and morals, daring to not just voice them but even to act upon them. The go

The menus, particularly for fortress mode, aren't the easiest so I'm looking forward to a reworked version in the Steam edition but I'm not sure if I'll play it if there isn't an ASCII mode.

Sabine isn't very accurate though and pushes her own fringe ideas while criticising everybody else.

PBS Space Time seems pretty good. He gives good explanations and gives a balanced perspective to both sides when there's debate.

That's nice, I didn't realise AES was quantum resistant. However, an algorithm being promising doesn't mean it works. Do you know how well the development of these other techniques is progressing?

You're right that it does need to be miniturized to some extent but there's absolutely no need for it to be desktop sized. If in the future a quantum computer is built, taking up multiple rooms is not an issue at all. The value is

I would also say that Sabine is wrong on a number of points, like coherence times, but I thought that the problems with cooling were correct. Since I don't know much about cooling, would you be happy to elaborate?
