New paper: Photonic quantum error correction of linear optics using W-state encoding
With my PhD student Madhav Krishnan Vijayan, and old PhD colleague Austin Lund. Full paper available at https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.03093 Abstract Error-detection and correction are necessary prerequisites for any scalable quantum computing architecture. Given the inevitability of unwanted physical noise in quantum systems and the propensity for errors to spread as computations proceed, computational outcomes can become… Read more

Hi Pete, as a physiciast, what does science dictate as the optimum frequency for sanitising ones bathroom drying apparatus.
Please keep in mind the following variables:
– male vs female
– fan vs no fan
– vent vs no vent
– bathroom window vs no bathroom window
– contractor noise
– the thread count of ones towel
– the meal that one had the night before
– guests throwing up in the toilet bowl because they want food6

I have a question regarding the impact of contractor noise on the drying of my 500gsm burnt orange Sheridan towels. Do you have any experience in this area? What do the literature reviews say?
