What I'll definitely do is make a serious attempt at writing the "Cond Mat Phys for Quantum Computer Scientists" tutorial paper I've been threatening to write for years. I think it's important that people are equipped to distinguish realistic use cases of quantum computers from straw man arguments.
I've never been tempted to write a "Comment on..." paper before, but today is teaching me that there's a first time for everything. 👀

Computational Mechanics: Pattern and Prediction, Structure and Simplicity
Computational mechanics, an approach to structural complexity, defines a process's causal states and gives a procedure for finding them. We show that the causal-state representation--an $ε$-machine--i...

Physics Nobel will be announced tomorrow morning, so I guess this would be the spot for a half-assed prediction. Looking at the recent list, feels like we're due for something in the cond-mat area, maybe some experimental technique? Not sure what, though. ARPES, or is that too old?

If you listen to non insane Miami cubans its usually like: "Sanctions mean rationing, rationing means breadlines, and the Party is full of opportunistic cops who use Party connections to cut in line."
Which is fair, but then the point of propaganda is to disconnect the corruption from mat. cond.

Finally, a book that does justice to the hidden heroes of #quantum physics: Landau, Anderson, Wilson i.e., cond. mat. physics community. Symmetry breaking & renormalization, concepts which unite #physics. It includes key papers from many-body physics (see timeline). Looking forward to reading it!!

There's a story about a guy who came into AMO physics from cond-mat going after a speaker really aggressively in a talk, and being pulled aside afterwards by Aspect and Cohen-Tannoudji and told "We don't do that sort of thing in this community."
