Stop! Stop! They are already dead.

A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. It’s a classic tongue twister! Would you like to try another one?

I got this from Gemini.

Didn’t happen to me on windows! ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

These qubits oscillate at microwave frequencies where the quantum information is stored. This means they need to be kept at a temperature where the microwave frequencies are completely devoid of any thermal noise. For microwave frequencies, this temperature is just a few millikelvins above absolute zero. Unfortunately, the temperature is required due to the fundamental nature of thermal noise due to temperature. Making the qubits out of room temperature superconductor would not solve the problem of the need to cool them down - unless they can be operated at higher frequency. There are quantum computers made using light/optical photons which do operate at room temperature because optical photons are at much higher frequency which has no thermal noise even at room temperature.

So, in conclusion, everytime you hear about superconducting qubit, they are always in a giant dilution refrigerator which gets bigger for more qubits as more connections from room temperature to qubits are needed.

For now they are only being used for research purposes. For example, simulating Quantum effects in many atom physics and implementing error correction for future quantum computers. Any real applications still need some time but the pace of development is really quite something.

I read it as “Iron man”.

Ein Deutscher kannst das auch verstehen.

I am in Austria. I am just getting simple ads - intermittent fasting these days for some reason.

Is this related to the German word “gemütlich”?

What I really like about Niagra is that the whole app drawer is on your finger tips. One just intuitively starts holding a certain point on screen which will roughly open the alphabet with which the app you are looking for starts.

I just went from 90Hz to 60Hz and it was noticably worse. Promptly went back to 90 lol.
