:kitten: Say hello to the new Kitten web site! 🎉
https://kitten.small-web.org
Like Kitten itself, it’s a baby but will be evolving quickly as they approach API version 1 together.
Enjoy!

PS. Of course it’s written in Kitten itself. It doesn’t do anything fancy but here…

I continue to progress and enjoy the Adrift Expedition in No Man's Sky. I have acquired a couple more starships to go along with the basic ass hauler I started with. The Solar Ship came by way of the Phase 2 "find a crashed ship and repair it" milestone. Oddly enough, I could swear I got one with the same name in the last Expedition I played through. I've been carrying around some odd thing in my inventory almost since I started, and finally used it and had a Sentinel ship …

Flying-cat parity checks for quantum error correction
Long range, multi-qubit parity checks have applications in both quantum error correction and measurement-based entanglement generation. Such parity checks could be performed using qubit-state-dependent phase shifts on propagating pulses of light described by coherent states $\vertα\rangle$ of the electromagnetic field. We consider "flying-cat" parity checks based on an entangling operation that is quantum non-demolition (QND) for Schrödinger's cat states $\vertα\rangle\pm \vert-α\rangle$. T…

This week I watched more than 4 movies. Click over to my letterboxd to view them all: https://letterboxd.com/tgpo/
The Special: Worst acting I've ever seen. Neat idea, but the movie sucks (no pun intended). 1.5⭐
Buddy Games: Unwatchable 1⭐
The Invisible Man: First 75% is well done…

Regularized-Renormalized-Resummed loop corrected power spectrum of non-singular bounce with Primordial Black Hole formation
We present a complete and consistent exposition of the regularization, renormalization, and resummation procedures in the setup of having a contraction and then non-singular bounce followed by inflation with a sharp transition from slow-roll (SR) to ultra-slow roll (USR) phase for generating primordial black holes (PBHs). We consider following an effective field theory (EFT) approach and study the quantum loop corrections to the power spectrum from each phase. We demonstrate the complete remova…

Part of a group arranging a school trip. For joint communication it was suggested we could pick between the following two options.
• WhatsApp
• Facebook Messenger
The option was given because people might have strong opinions about using one of the other.
Honestly I do not know whether to laugh or cry.

Home Prices Are Falling as High Rates Cool Demand for Former Hotspots
Redfin - June 6, 2024
“Nationwide, price drops are at their highest level since November 2022, suggesting more metros may soon see sale prices decline.”

Home Prices Are Falling in 3 Texas Metros and Portland, Oregon as High Rates Cool Demand for the Former Hotspots
Prices are down 3% in Austin, TX, more than any other metro, as near-record housing costs push homebuyers away. Nationwide, price drops are at their highest level since November 2022, suggesting more metros may soon see sale prices decline.

Success probabilities in time-reversal based hybrid quantum state transfer
We consider two memory nodes of a quantum network connected by flying qubits. We are particularly interested in the case where a flying qubit produced by one node has to be transformed before it can interface efficiently with the next node. Such transformations can be utilized as a key part of the distribution of quantum states and hence entanglement between the nodes of a hybrid quantum network linking together different quantum technologies. We show how and why the probability of interfacing …
