Last week, I defended my PhD 🎉 Thanks go to the expert jury members 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗺, @CarlosSMW, and @J_Guillaud. I especially want to thank my supervisor, @vinniesavon, for this incredible opportunity at @EPFL_en and @QSECenter_EPFL! Public defense on May 31st! https://t.co/oHQWbdlGXw

Excited to share my latest piece on @PhysicsWorld about a breakthrough in quantum computing by @Alice__Bob. Their work on cat qubits 🐱marks a significant leap towards error-corrected quantum computing, paving the way for more stable and reliable quantum systems. Full story:👇

"The challenge of quantum error correction is not just about stabilizing qubits. It is also about controlling them without breaking the mechanisms that keep them stable." Here's how cat qubits have reached a new level of stability and control: https://t.co/5eXwxHmlCc

Peer review is so crucial for science as a whole. It's strange that for this vital task, we require a middleman of profit-driven journals that then directs back to scientists for review. It is time that we start thinking about how the scientific community can improve this...

Peer review is a net positive for science https://t.co/BZ7BgiIpmS

Excited to see two experimental works on the dual-rail erasure qubit from two different groups on the arXiv less than 2 weeks apart. https://t.co/HZwln1tzRk (3D cavities) https://t.co/3RPwqg5NnS (transmons)

How can one accurately simulate the dynamics of bosonic systems with large occupation numbers? With @vinniesavon and F. Minganti @QSECenter_EPFL, we use a variational approach and a basis of photon-added coherent states to simulate eg. large cat qubits 🐈 https://t.co/kzNXCyI8tq https://t.co/WKLi4eXmuN
