This July 4th reminds me that I only learned a few years ago that the Statue of Liberty is an anti-slavery monument created by a French abolitionist back in 1865 to celebrate emancipation, so I tell my little cousins about the broken chains at her feet any chance I get.

`“Magic states solve a problem with quantum computation that seems paradoxical,” researcher Robin Blume-Kohout said. “The error correction protocols that prevent random errors from corrupting a quantum computer’s memory are so effective that they also prevent programmers from performing a critical subroutine called the T gate. Future quantum computers can get around this obstacle by building special magic states...”`

`Quantum tomography (QT) has found broad applications across multiple disciplines, such as atomic and molecular physics, quantum optics, quantum computing, and quantum information. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of QT applied to atoms and molecules, which enables the full reconstruction of quantum states when combined with state-of-the-art ultrafast imaging techniques`

`Quantum tomography is applied on a source of systems, to determine the quantum state of the output of that source. Unlike a measurement on a single system, which determines the system's current state after the measurement (in general, the act of making a measurement alters the quantum state), quantum tomography works to determine the state(s) prior to the measurements.`

`The field of quantum sensing leverages quantum mechanical resources such as superposition, entanglement, and squeezing to surpass classical limits in measurement precision and enable new sensing modalities. This Special Topic Collection in Applied Physics Reviews brings together recent advances spanning theory, materials, device engineering, and applications of quantum sensors.`

Within the first few months of life, every bottlenose dolphin invents a unique whistle that becomes its name for the rest of its life — and other dolphins learn that whistle, remember it, and use it to call out to that specific individual, making bottlenose dolphins the first non-human species ever discovered to use personal names

A politician investigating Pegasus spyware… had their phone hacked with Pegasus multiple times. The compromises came days ahead of key meetings of the spyware inquiry:

Y’all remember a ways back when I said 3 major #egg producers were scamming the country, and that #avianflu was not causing the price surges, it was price fixing, cause I can do basic addition?

And industry executives and analysts were saying that there was nothing to see except a supply shock of a disease killing lots of hens. As one industry executive put it at the time, it’s all just “supply disruption, ‘act of God’ type stuff.”

Yeah. It was a #conspiracy to fix prices. Emails between each other writing down the damn conspiracy. They made billions. Guess how much they have to pay in fines? If you guessed less than 1%, you’ve been paying attention to the #kakistocracy.

Eat the rich.

Google loses its appeal and will now have to pay the record breaking fine of €4.125.000.000 for abusing its Android dominance to force Google search onto phones.

Immune cells exist as continuous clouds, not discrete categories. In this Perspective, authors from the Immunological Genome Project reframe immune identity through systems biology, and propose that immunotherapies should aim at dynamics of the cell cloud.
