Comparison of schemes for highly loss tolerant photonic fusion based quantum computing
We summarize the performance of recently-proposed methods for achieving fault tolerant fusions-based quantum computation with high tolerance to qubit loss, specifically aimed at photonic implementations.

i’m in the fens where the skies go on forever
and right now they have little fluffy clouds
time, i think, to add some old noise to the traditional sounds of an english summer

Inner disc and circumplanetary material in the PDS 70 system
The two giant protoplanets directly imaged in the dust-depleted cavity of PDS 70 offer a unique opportunity to study ongoing planet formation. Both planets have been detected in infrared thermal emission and in H$α$, indicating active accretion. We calibrate and analyse archival ALMA Band 6 and 7 observations of PDS 70 from 2019, 2021, and 2023 to search for circumplanetary material and assess its motion. Using 2D visibility modelling of the high-resolution (~0.11"x0.08" in Band 6; ~0.05"x0.05…

Elementary Functions and NOT Following the IEEE 754 Floating-Point Standard — TRYING TO FIND THE OBVIOUS
The IEEE-754 Standard for floating-point numbers was introduced initially in 1985 to solve the problem of diverse floating point implementations prevent code being portable and increase stability across platforms. It has been widely adopted and revised over the last 30 years and if you have dealt

The jemalloc memory allocator was first conceived in early 2004, and hasbeen in public use for about 20 years now. Thanks to the nature of open source software licensing,jemalloc will remain publicly available indefinitely. But active upstream development has come to anend. This post briefly desc...

Implementing Dependent Types in pi-forall
These lecture notes describe the design of a minimal dependently-typed language called "pi-forall" and walk through the implementation of its type checker. They are based on lectures given at the Oregon Programming Languages Summer School during July 2023.
