Very exciting announcement, the next Quantum Error Correction conference QEC26 will be hosted by Google 7-12 June 2026 in Santa Barbara. See you there! @dripto.bsky.social @mattmcewen.bsky.social

If you were going to do a PhD in quantum information in the US, but no longer trust the US government to provide a visa or maintain steady funding, you have options!

Many institutions will consider applications outside the normal timelines from students who are affected by the American meltdown.

🚨New Preprint: This time it is an invited short review article on the contribution of Canadian researchers in Quantum Error Correction and Mitigation in celebration of the 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology.
Enjoy Reading!

Thanks @thiha-phy.bsky.social
It wouldn’t have been possible without your consistent support. Thanks for your radiant positivity which keeps our team motivated :)

Meet Willow, our state-of-the-art quantum chip Our new quantum chip demonstrates error correction and performance that paves the way to a useful, large-scale quantum computer.

🌳 Excited to introduce Willow, Google Quantum AI’s latest chip. Willow 5x’s coherence times, beats the Surface Code QEC threshold, and the time to reproduce Willow's RCS on Frontier supercomputer is estimated at 10^25 years⏳! 👇 thread #Quantum #Physics #Science
