we live in an inherently quantum mehanical world

quantum mechanics permits entanglement

it is an open question what "measurement" in QM really is

we know that systems cannot measure themselves

toerhwise superposition would not work



it logicallys follows that we are all entangled as one & because the system cannot measure itself to destroy the entanglement we are all connected

Simulating the performance of a distance-3 surface code in a linear ion trap

We explore the feasibility of implementing a small surface code with 9 data qubits and 8 ancilla qubits, commonly referred to as surface-17, using a linear chain of 171Yb+ ions. Two-qubit gates can be performed between any two ions in the chain with gate time increasing linearly with ion distance. Measurement of the ion state by fluorescence requires that the ancilla qubits be physically separated from the data qubits to avoid errors on the data due to scattered photons. We minimize the time required to measure one round of stabilizers by optimizing the mapping of the two-dimensional surface code to the linear chain of ions. We develop a physically motivated Pauli error model that allows for fast simulation and captures the key sources of noise in an ion trap quantum computer including gate imperfections and ion heating. Our simulations showed a consistent requirement of a two-qubit gate fidelity of > 99.9% for logical memory to have a better fidelity than physical two-qubit operations. Finally, we perform an analysis on the error subsets from the importance sampling method used to approximate the logical error rates in this paper to gain insight into which error sources are particularly detrimental to error correction.

You know, Zloc, you never played through TODOA and/or Deus Ex: Nihilum that one time you were on IRC and you said you were on a vacation and that you'd play through (either of) them.

We are all ions in a linear trap

& the efficientsy of the surface code is proof that

we are entangled w/ our neighbors

and correct their errors in life

It is important to be good 2 ur neighbor

without whom

the error model woud take over

but sometimes the neighbors are more abstract

as int he case of the linear ion crysal

where the topology is not immediately obvious

because the surface code is a surface

and not a line

I think I played TODOA some TODAY-A, but I never played NOTHING, you are correct.

Well, Zloc, I'll spoil the ending for you: It ends with you giving me 5bux.

**** y`all, there is no way I allow some uppity liberal to stand here and tell me I'm entangled with some Kenyan socialist.

adjectives are meaningless, my friend.

we are all one.

i am he and he is we.

namaste

do u take venmo?

Here's how ya do it, Zloc:

earth has 4 corner

simultaneous 4-day
time cube

within single rotation.

4 corner days proves 1

day 1 god is taught evil.

ignorance of timecube 4

simple math is retardation

and evil education damnation.

cubeless americans deserve -


and shall be exterminated.

omg how did I not see the resemblance
