David Wineland, Nobel laureate, and active professor at Univ of Oregon at the #FiOLS25. He gave a great talk covering the origins of physical realization of quantum gates (leading to his eventual Nobel prize which he didn't talk about) very self effacing and humor filled presentation #quantum #Denve

Seen Parasite movie ? Like that ouch

Horror!
