Extractors: smaller than the code, enable full logical processing, same error rate as memory, compatible with fixed connectivity. As promised, they turn quantum memories into quantum processors. arxiv.org/abs/2606.03507 Joint work with the wonderful John Blue, Harry Zhou, and Ike Chuang.

Full Extractors for Logical Processing in Hypergraph Product Codes

Quantum low-density parity-check (QLDPC) codes are promising candidates for practical low-overhead quantum memories. For large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computation, we further need logical process...

I gave a talk about our quantum error correction tools at the Monte Verita Quantum Codes conference. It has been a great conference so far including experiment and theory for both CV and DV codes.

We just posted a new paper: “Architecting Early Fault Tolerant Neutral Atoms Systems with Quantum Advantage” arxiv.org/abs/2604.19735 🚀🎉 Our goal was to identify fault-tolerant (FT) architectures for neutral atom platforms that can enable quantum advantage experiments in the near future.

Architecting Early Fault Tolerant Neutral Atoms Systems with Quantum Advantage

Recent advancements in neutral atom platforms have enabled exploration of early fault-tolerant (FT) architectures for applications with quantum advantage, such as quantum dynamics simulations. An effi...

Congrats to Keegan Ryan for being the first to exploit the simulator we used to validate the secret quantum circuits: blog.trailofbits.com/2026/04/17/w... It kills me that the (now fixed) bugs were simple (we didn't port the op validation code from C++ to Rust!), but that's to be expected.

We beat Google’s zero-knowledge proof of quantum cryptanalysis

Trail of Bits discovered and exploited memory safety and logic vulnerabilities in Google’s Rust zero-knowledge proof code to forge a proof claiming better quantum circuit performance metrics than Goog...

In this MURI project with Sebastian Will (Columbia), Yongshan Ding (Yale), Shruti Puri (Yale), and Daniel Grier (UCSD), we will explore the potential uses and benefits (and limitations!) of using quantum gates that can act on many qubits at a time.

Led by DSI member @henryyuen.bsky.social, a new multi-university grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) will examine whether larger quantum operations could reduce errors and make future quantum computers more practical. More: datascience.columbia.edu/news/2026/tr...

The APS Meeting in Denver starts in earnest tomorrow and as sort of an experiment to see if this still works, I've resolved to actually cover the conference on social media (like we did in days of yore), so bear with me for what will be a couple days of posting about physics.
