Last week at the #APSSummit26, we had many conversations about what it takes to scale #quantumtechnology.
During the summit, APS TV featured a video where we talk about how support the #quantum ecosystem to do this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZv3...

A huge thank you to everyone in the apsphysics.bsky.social FGSA and FECS who helped bring this session to life, and especially to Daniel Marx for leading the effort and making this event such a success.

A big THANK YOU to everyone (27 if I count correctly) who tried out the Adventures with Emmy #TTRPG this week at #APSSummit26! Looking forward to reviewing the feedback survey responses and ~12 hours of playtest recordings.

It's a wrap! hard to believe so much science could fit in a single week. Also going by the weather, this conference lasted an entire season; it started with wintery snow and is ending with scorching sunshine.

Ever wonder what distinguishes a quantum device from a quantum computer? Jiri Stehlik of IBM puts the boundary at 100 qubits. Any bigger and it’s a computer, any smaller and it’s just a sparkling quantum device. #APSSummit26 🧪⚛️
The #APSSummit26 exhibit hall brings together companies, startups & researchers at the cutting edge of technology. From live demos & product launches to in-depth technical conversations, see how ideas move from theory to application. @apsphysics.bsky.social youtu.be/aZZcrtvhBP8
My #APSSummit26 dilemma earlier this week: should I depress myself by attending the session on “The Crisis in American Science”? Or restore my faith in humanity by finding out “How Early-Career Physicists Are Solving Society’s Greatest Challenges”? ⚛️🧪 physicsworld.com/a/the-coming...
On the last day of the APS Summit, I am following physical virology talks.
Juan Perilla introduced us to the mechanobiology of viral capsids and presented his investigations into the effect of Cyclophilin-A on the HIV-1 capsid using simulated AFM.

This is a great thread that goes into more detail on renewable grid integration, a topic I touched on in a report from #APSSummit26 earlier this week. physicsworld.com/a/wanted-an-...
Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, joined the discussions, came to our talks, and took part in our activities at #APSSummit26. It was great to see so much interest and engagement in the future of #quantumtechnology.
See you in Atlanta, Georgia, next year!

Against the backdrop of the annual Quantum Hockey game, APS TV Host Clara Nellist meets Alicia Mand to talk about one of the most extreme discoveries in astrophysics: the highest-energy neutrino ever detected. @apsphysics.bsky.social #APSSummit26 youtu.be/SaJiLSceQ6c
Polar bears don’t just survive the Arctic—they’re engineered for it. Watch as APS TV Meets Debendra Timsina, whose research explores how polar bear fur enables extreme thermal insulation—& what we can learn from it. @apsphysics.bsky.social #APSSummit26 youtu.be/0DU1lN4pMe4
How should scientific discoveries be shared with the world? At #APSSummit26 the editors behind APS Open Science, a new fully open-access journal from @apsphysics.bsky.social, explain their vision for a more transparent & collaborative future for research. youtu.be/vYk6EudYwjY
At #APSSummit26 cutting-edge physics can show up in unexpected places—even around a tabletop game. We met Maya Miklos from @colorado.edu during a TTRPG playtest inspired by Emmy Noether, where players use science to solve challenges. @apsphysics.bsky.social youtu.be/JKxPY9fK_qA
There’s no one to take a selfie with like the one and only Andreas Wallraff and Dave Schuster!
Glad to continue our now many year tradition of taking a selfie aps every year.

Ramamoorthy Ramesh on a stage in front of a set of Earthshots symbolised by Olympic rings
After the Kennedy-era Moonshot and the early Obama-era Sunshot aimed at drastically decreasing the cost of solar energy, Ramamoorthy Ramesh is talking about a Biden-era set of “Earthshots” that included reductions in CMOS energy consumption. #APSSummit26
Michelle Simmons in front of a slide showing photos of ever-smaller circuits
Michelle Simmons is next up, speaking about manufacturing and miniaturization in quantum computing. Says she feels like she’s been living through Feynman’s famous “Plenty of Room at the Bottom” lecture. #APSSummit26

Preskill and a slide reading quantum machines for science
Preskill has a useful summary of where different qubit platforms are set in terms of performance. #APSSummit26
John Preskill standing on a conference stage in front of a slide reading "Frontiers of Physics" and containing information about the short distance, long distance and complexity frontiers. There's a sign-language interpreter visible off the stage to the right
For John Preskill, #quantum computing is part of the "complexity frontier" within physics, comparable to the "short distance frontier" exemplified by particle physics and the "long distance frontier" that cosmologists and astronomers are exploring. #APSSummit26 ⚛️🧪
At #APSSummit26, our correspondent faced a choice: get depressed by attending a session on the crisis in American science? Or look on the bright side by finding out how early-career physicists are solving society’s greatest challenges? ⚛️🧪 physicsworld.com/a/the-coming...
Finishing the day with biomolecular condensates. #APSsummit26
Ben Schuler presents an impressive combination of simulation and experiment. Important insight: The microscopic dynamics of polyelectrolytes can be connected to their bulk viscosity via polymer physics.

Smith's answer is, realistically, 2040s. Many private fusion companies say they’ll deliver at the start of the 2030s, but the problems ITER is being built to solve exist for the private sector, too. “There’s just not a natural abundance of tritium...these are challenges for everyone.” #APSSummit26
Sarah Smith, an ORNL engineer working on the ITER fusion facility, gets the fun of answering the question fusion scientists love to hate: "When is someone, somewhere, going to get electricity from a fusion power plant?" #APSSummit26
