Integrated photonic source of Gottesman–Kitaev–Preskill qubits

Here we provide experimental details on each major component in this experiment: the laser subsystem, photonic integrated chip, PNR detectors for state heralding and the homodyne detection system used for state tomography. Further details can be found in the Supplementary Information. Laser system The laser subsystem is composed of five lasers: two lasers (P1 and P2) for driving the dual-pump SFWM process that generates squeezing, a local oscillator laser used to perform homodyne detection and

Show HN: Flint – Write code your way while ensuring remote consistency

Write code your way while ensuring remote consistency. Flint empowers developers to use their personal style and formatting preferences locally, while maintaining a consistent remote codebase. By integrating with Git, Flint automatically formats code during pull and push operations. This approach prevents commits from being cluttered with formatting changes, making code reviews cleaner and collaboration smoother. Note Flint is currently in alpha. Contributions are warmly welcomed. Table of Co

Locality of Behaviour (2020)

Locality of Behaviour (LoB) Carson Gross May 29, 2020 “The primary feature for easy maintenance is locality: Locality is that characteristic of source code that enables a programmer to understand that source by looking at only a small portion of it.” – Richard Gabriel Locality of Behaviour is the principle that: The behaviour of a unit of code should be as obvious as possible by looking only at that unit of code The LoB principle is a simple prescriptive formulation of the quoted statement

How Texas’ hands-off approach to autonomous vehicles gave Tesla an opening

Last week, a Tesla Model Y with the word “ROBOTAXI” scratched into its side and no one in the driver seat made a turn off Austin’s bustling South Congress Avenue. Another Tesla, described by autonomous vehicle experts as a “chase vehicle,” followed closely behind. Tesla CEO Elon Musk commented on the clip, seemingly confirming that the lead car was one of roughly 10 vehicles comprising the company’s robotaxi fleet, expected to make their official debut sometime next week. If that does occur, it

How the first electric grid was built

The Linear No Threshold model says that there is no safe level of radiation exposure. There is overwhelming evidence it is false, yet it inspires the ALARA principle, which makes nuclear power unaffordable worldwide. Read the lead article from Issue 19 of Works in Progress. We’re hosting a Stripe Press pop-up coffee shop and bookstore on Saturday, June 28, in Washington, DC. RSVP here if you can make it. In 1883, Sir Coutts Lindsay, owner of the Grosvenor Art Gallery in Bond Street, decided th

Stolen iPhones disabled by Apple's anti-theft tech after Los Angeles looting

What just happened? As protests against federal immigration enforcement swept through downtown Los Angeles last week, a wave of looting left several major retailers, including Apple, T-Mobile, and Adidas, counting the cost of smashed windows and stolen goods. Yet for those who made off with iPhones from Apple's flagship store, the thrill of the heist quickly turned into a lesson in high-tech security. Apple's retail locations are equipped with advanced anti-theft technology that renders display

When I share files, I skip right past Quick Share and use this app instead

Andy Walker / Android Authority Sharing files across Android and other devices can be tedious. Although Quick Share has improved slightly since Samsung and Google collaborated, offering a larger feature set than ever, it often feels more cumbersome than convenient. I spend more time connecting to the recipient’s phone than sending the file, which I don’t appreciate.

A Political Battle Is Brewing Over Data Centers

A 10-year moratorium on state-level AI regulation included in President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” has brushed up against a mounting battle over the growth of data centers. On Thursday, Representative Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, posted on X that the megabill’s 10-year block on states regulating artificial intelligence could “make it easier for corporations to get zoning variances, so massive AI data centers could be built in close proximity to residential areas.” Massie, who
