IQM Collaborative Research Uncovers New Superconducting Qubit, the Unimon
November 15, 2022

ESPOO, Finland, Nov. 15, 2022 — A group of scientists from IQM Quantum Computers, Aalto University, and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland have discovered a new superconducting qubit, the unimon, to increase the accuracy of quantum computations. The team has achieved the first quantum logic gates with unimons at 99.9% fidelity — a major milestone on the quest to build commercially useful quantum computers. This pivotal piece of research was just published in the journal Nature Communications.

Your teachers have already found you, they just don't always come in the form you're looking for. The enemy is your teacher, the child is your teacher, the animal is your teacher, the grief is your teacher, the joy is your teacher. The teacher and the teaching and the taught, each, and all that you need to work with your life, is present with you already.

If you’re new to #Mastodon you will encounter words you don’t know.

Here’s the summary:

The #Fediverse : our Mastodon universe.

The Fediverse has planets (known as servers/instances). >Your handle< @ mastdn.social means your “planet” is mastdn.social.

Your posts = your broadcast signal.
People from other planets can hear your signal and follow you.

Planet gets too crowded = lag (it moves slowly.

You can change your planet and also keep your followers.

Follow and 🔁 repost for daily tips.

There is something almost sacred about language learning, to me.

It may start with curiosity. It may look cool to speak French. It may seem exotic to read kanji/hanzi. It could be about a tourist trip, or a refugee's survival.

But the result is that the world becomes more connect - less separate. Two cultures have one more doorway between them that allows for better understanding.

It's beautiful. It's important.

Similarly, I often find myself returning to these words by Cory Booker:

"Before you speak to me about your #religion, first show it to me in how you treat other people; before you tell me how much you love your #God, show me in how much you love all His children; before you preach to me of your passion for your faith, teach me about it through your compassion for your neighbours.
In the end, I’m not as interested in what you have to tell or sell as I am in how you choose to live and give."

Seaglass is such an accidental obsession, some years I’m more into it than others so kind of tide like with the passion. And out of that obsession a better understanding of the coastline, sea & history has emerged, accidental learning if you will. The glass in the images is locally found, admittedly the top end of seaglass free from chips and breaks. Anywhere from 30/40-200 years in age and maybe longer for the deep black glass.
