Optimal joint cutting of two-qubit rotation gates
Circuit cutting, the partitioning of quantum circuits into smaller independent fragments, has become a promising avenue for scaling up current quantum-computing experiments. Here, we introduce a scheme for joint cutting of two-qubit rotation gates based on a virtual gate-teleportation protocol. By that, we significantly lower the previous upper bounds on the sampling overhead and prove optimality of the scheme. Furthermore, we show that no classical communication between the circuit partitions …

Coding Over Coupon Collector Channels for Combinatorial Motif-Based DNA Storage
Encoding information in combinations of pre-synthesised deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) strands (referred to as motifs) is an interesting approach to DNA storage that could potentially circumvent the prohibitive costs of nucleotide-by-nucleotide DNA synthesis. Based on our analysis of an empirical data set from HelixWorks, we propose two channel models for this setup (with and without interference) and analyse their fundamental limits. We propose a coding scheme that approaches those limits by leve…

This computer science professor strongly endorses the advice in this thread from @…. The initial framing is about working with/around generative AI in coding, but the lesson is so much bigger.
If you want to learn it, play with it.
Reading, studying, listening: that’s all just the setup for the learning. The real learning begins when the play b…

Listening to this episode of 99% Invisible with Kid2 who's seriously annoyed with the Anglo journalists' French accent and the fact that they keep cutting off the Congolese interviewees to translate to English. "Why can't they just let them speak?" It's hard for the 8yo kid to understand that not everyone else is bilingual.

The Society of Ambiance Makers and Elegant Persons - 99% Invisible
Hailing from central African cities of Brazzaville and Kinshasa, sapeurs have become increasingly recognizable around the world. Since the 1970s, sapeurs (from: le sape, short for “Société des Ambianceurs et des Personnes Élégantes”) have been known for donning technicolored three-piece suits with flamboyant accessories like golden walking sticks and leopard-print fedoras, and then cat-walking through
