Mind the Gap: From Resolving Theoretical Foundations of Chiral(ity)-Induced Spin Selectivity to Pioneering Implementations in Quantum Sensing
The chiral(ity)-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect, where electrons passing through a chiral medium acquire significant spin-polarization at ambient temperatures, has been widely observed experimentally, yet its theoretical foundations remain actively debated. Open questions persist regarding whether CISS originates from helical geometry or more general chirality, and whether a unified mechanism can account for phenomena across solid-state and soft-matter systems, mesoscopic films, and sing…

So, my Valve Index arrived. As you may know, it officially supports Linux.
It works, sort of, but dear god what a mess that was to get working.
Within the span of one evening, I have seen it all: GPU freezing, failing to aquire a DRM lease, firmware updates crashing, latency, and some weird swap chain flickering issue.
It works, though. On Linux. And I have a plethora of paths to get it perfect. This weekend will be awesome.
