Albee Layer surfing in Maui, Hawaii, October 2023. Fred PompermayerThere’s little money to be made surfing big waves. It's not the most rational career choice, yet a dedicated few devote their lives to the daredevil pursuit. They invest in the best surfboards, log countless early-morning sessions, and fly themselves across the globe to chase big waves. But to what end? For years, most big-wave rides went entirely undocumented.

Love ‘em. Hate ‘em. Drones have changed the way we watch surfing. Especially in big waves, where the theater is often out to sea. And with this new technology, a new generation of cinematographers has emerged – complicating the airwaves with annoying buzzing and epic imagery. Meet Tucker Wooding. He grew up in Lake Tapps, Washington, spending every summer from age 10 on his dad’s commercial fishing boat in Alaska, and he was running his own boat as soon as he turned 18.

Abstract Quantum computers offer the potential to efficiently simulate the dynamics of quantum systems, a task whose difficulty scales exponentially with system size on classical devices. To assess the potential for near-term quantum computers to simulate many-body systems we develop a formalism to straightforwardly compute bounds on the number of Trotter steps needed to accurately simulate the time evolution of fermionic lattice models based on the first-order commutator scaling.

Abstract Among the emerging technologies with prophesied quantum advantage, quantum communications has already led to fascinating demonstrations—including quantum teleportation to and from satellites. However, all optical communication necessitates the use of optical devices, the comprehensive quantum thermodynamic description of which is still severely lacking.
