Two quick points on this: - D-Wave do not claim to be building a general quantum computer (although they willfully muddy the water on this). Their machines in principle can not run something like Shor's algorithm. It is not clear wheth

I am not sure I follow. Here is my attempt to respond to what you raised but feel free to redirect me if I misunderstood. The following is a (simplified, abstracted) way to measure an arbitrary energy value. 1. Set the system up so that the

Energy levels in simple finite systems are indeed quantized, but this does not mean we can not make the energy quanta be continuously parameterized. For instance, if your system is two mirrors facing each other and you are using the quantum

For what is worth, I am fully convinced that (1) (the paper-like visual feel) is completely true, not a snake-oil claim, even if it is just a perceptual placebo effect that is masking the ostensibly true nature you described. Placebo effect

I read arxiv content on the Remarkable 2 and I am satisfied. The reader auto-removes the white margins, so the smaller screen is not a problem. The zoom functionality is snappy for an e-ink device from 3 years ago (slow by modern standards)

That is frequently enough, but for a lot of folks who are fans of Remarkable, the preference is based on one or more of these three: (1) e-ink for both paper-like visual texture (the pixels are not square) and eye comfort (impossible with t

"20k photons at 99% fidelity" usually means "we can detect each of these 20k photons separately with 1% error rate", which would be roughly 20kb/s. Low bandwidth, but it has little to do with how much light comes fr

There are pretty easy examples of decreasing regulations, both in the US and in Europe. The US is particularly easy to come up with examples: the supreme court has banished many regulations, reverting to more laissez faire states, whether r

I can understand "nuclei excitation states" in two different ways. - If you mean excited states of the neutrons and protons in the nucleus, I really have no idea, mainly because these are generally unachievable in an engineered sy

There are a couple of ways to answer your question: - If we are talking about storing one qubit per defect: reproducibly/reliably/scalably creating such defects in large numbers is impossible for now, so the answer is either &quot

To provide some context: - Usually the problem with room temperature is that the various thermal mechanical excitation and thermal radiation surrounding the qubit lead to interaction with the qubit and the information stored in it "lea

I am trying to look you up, but I am not sure I completely understand your organization and offering. Is Ondsel to FreeCAD the same as Codeweavers to Wine?

The R stands for Resonance, not for Radio.

There is no ionizing radiation in MRI. Only strong low-frequency magnetic fields.

I do not think that is true anymore about MS. For most cases it is pretty manageable these days.

It got published in "Scientific Reports", not in "Nature". Scientific Reports is a journal that belongs to the Nature Publishing Group, *but* it is a known low-impact journal. When you get your acceptance-for-publication

I do not think you are missing anything that would change your cost-benefit analysis, but here are two things that might be of interest: - A QKD link would be much lower latency than transmitting a physical token over an authenticated chann

I believe OP said the opposite with regards to indies. In my experience indie games are the ones that run fine on Linux. Big studio games are not too bad either, but not as consistent.

It is a balance though. I do not like my property doing this type of reporting and I equally dislike someone else's property reporting data about me (e.g. a speed camera). But I do want everyone that uses a public good for which we pay

I game fairly regularly. I have given up on VR on Linux (valve gave up on it), and anti-cheat systems mostly do not work on Linux (valve is making some progress there). Everything else works perfectly for me, frequently with fewer crashes t

Those are perfectly fine reasons, but I just wanted to share my experience as maybe things are better since last time you used the other popular OS that permits upgradable hardware: - Thanks to infusion from Valve, Wine now works really wel

The presentations and workshops about Makie.jl from the last few JuliaCons are pretty good. All recordings from JuliaCon are available at the official Julia youtube channel.

Many undergraduates and most graduate students do not pay tuition at Ivies, rather it gets covered by financial aid or research stipends. And whether you get admitted is decided independently from whether you get financial aid. Of course, b

I thought precedents only matter in the US "common law" framework, but most of the EU is following the "civil law" framework where precedents do not matter. Does this precedent really matter?

Interestingly, a "conservation of matter" law can exist independently of atoms. I.e. it is mathematically consistent to create a universe in which a "mole" is necessary, but matter is not discrete. Therefore "mole&q
