+1 For Roam. I'm a long-time Org Mode user, but was always waiting for something like Roam to take its place. Roam is a great example of how getting a few key features right can launch a tool into a league of its own. Implementing the

The original quote is too ambiguous for me to parse, but I feel compelled to mention that we should be careful with time-energy uncertainty. Time is usually not considered an observable in quantum theory, so it can be tricky to talk about t

You probably mean: "A quantum measurement influences the system being observed: The act of observation injects a kind of random noise into the system. This is ultimately the source of Heisenberg’s famous uncertainty principle." I&

You're confusing quantum trajectories for classical ones. The latter are what we use in path-integral formulations, and constitute a single path through spacetime. No such path exists for quantum states, since that would be a local hid

Finished a bachelor's in engineering physics in 2014. Chose to pursue a career in software/aerospace instead of continuing in physics. I then left aerospace in 2017 for a quantum computing startup [1]. I'm currently focused o

Emacs + Jupyter integration got significantly better with the recent emacs-jupyter package [1], which, while young, is about as un-janky as any Elisp I've seen. I use this daily now for Julia/Python development. The acs-jupter Org

I've found ob-ipython [1] within Org Mode to be one of the best options for interfacing with Jupyter. If you're sick of the limitations of working in a browser, it's worth checking out. Scimax version: https://gith

My understanding is that ProteinQure is focusing on optimization algorithms (like QAOA) supported by near-term quantum computers. These fall in the category of quantum-classical hybrid algorithms, and are different than quantum simulation.

I use Org for software development whenever I can, which is currently everyday. Usually, new code starts in cells with some Org-managed context (e.g. a Jupyter kernel in a remote container with some DB/service access). This is done usi

ob-ipython enables IDE-like editing features within the code cells. It's embedded in a polyglot, git-friendly, literate programming environment called Org-mode. I use it every day and love it. Other goodies: - easily manage multiple ke

You are describing a Memex, and I agree there are no satisfying options. Some related keywords / projects (from my natural memex): IdeaFlow, Mark Carranza, The Brain, Org-brain. For input methods, I'm excited for a combination of

This annoyance is one reason I avoid leaving Emacs. Eshell, tramp, dired, proced, docker-mode, etc... replace most of my terminal needs (including SSH). The same movement, search, and copy/paste bindings work everywhere, including in

I can't help but mention Magit [1] here. It's so pleasant compared to the CLI, I've actually found myself Emacs + Magit on machines just to avoid running a few git CLI commands. [1]: https://magit.vc/

No variant of quantum computing is expected to solve NP problems in polynomial time. That's just a common misconception.

Recent announcements from IBM and Google indicate they will jump from ~20 to ~50 qubits. My guess is that near-term growth will not remain linear.
