Proud and excited to be leading this new @NSERC_CRSNG funded project with so many fabulous collaborators from across Canada.
A #UAlberta researcher is leading a national collaboration aimed at bringing next-generation #quantum computer networks from the lab into real life. @epsilonsquared @TIPS_SPIIE @ualbertaScience ualberta.ca/folio/2023/04/bu

Also need to give credit to my bonus-kid for teaching me so much about Greek mythology over the past few years, inspiring the title "ARAQNE" -- though we expect spinning quantum webs will be more of a blessing than a curse.

(even though I head home tonight, after a weekend just hanging out with @5thsound, who's actually here for physics)

Thanks for coming to visit, and for all of the @UofAResearch support from that makes this work possible!
Thank you to @ualbertaScience for the opportunity to learn about the outstanding dark matter, nanotech and quantum research from Drs. Piro, Hegmann and @epsilonsquared. These labs and research teams in physics are second-to-none! #UAlberta

STEM outreach circa 1992: an article quoting me: Lindsay LeBlanc, 11, said her teachers have opened a whole new world for her.... "I can work on computers at lunchtime and I've talked to and heard some famous and interesting people."

(Visiting some extended family, in the city of my birth, for #ccuwip2023, and my aunt hands me a newspaper clipping she has saved for 30 years.)

Interestingly, the back of the clipping is an article about Yeltsin and "defusing the nuclear threat."

I just made this available as a colouring page! It is free to print out and colour for personal use - a gift to show my appreciation for the support I’ve received online since I started painting full-time in 2018. Download it here drive.google.com/file/d/1pXP

Second day of the year, and second day skiing. Not a bad start! @epsilonsquared

Almost finished tuning up my new demo from @ArborSci... A beautiful demo connecting so much #physics to the simple harmonic oscillator, as evidenced by colleagues dropping by to say, "That's just like a [mode-locked laser] [quantum memory] [superradiance] [Alfvén wave]..."

This just in: Zero Point Cryogenics wins an @ASTechFDN ‘Distinction’ award! We are humbled and honoured to receive the Early Adopter of Alberta Technology Award thanks to our fantastic customers, funders, and employees. Alberta truly is a great place to build a business.

Super excited to give colloquium at @UofRegina this afternoon -- Regina, SK is where I was born and lived for my first ten years. Though this visit is remote (and you're all invited), I'm looking forward to heading to Regina for #CCUWiP2023 in January!

We think we just saw a meteor fall west of Hwy 2, driving into Edmonton from the airport! #yegwx #yeg

Lots of colleagues around the world were interested in the first yr course we created on quantum computing/information using only HS-level math. We finally wrote a paper to provide more details and hopefully help other instructors: arxiv.org/abs/2210.02868
