Decoding monitored quantum circuits
by professor rat 07 Dec '21

Beni Yoshida : Decoding monitored quantum circuits (and black holes) Abstract: Given an output wavefunction of a monitored quantum circuit consisting of both unitary gates and projective measurements, we ask whether two complementary subsystems are entangled or not. For Clifford circuits, we find that this question can be mapped to a certain classical error-correction problem where various entanglement measures can be explicitly computed from the recoverability. . .

Jim Bell, communist.
by Punk-BatSoup-Stasi 2.0 07 Dec '21

07 Dec '21

Jim Bell vomited : > I blame, in large part, the people whose apparent timidity kept the vaccines away from kids under 18, up to 11 months after they were available initially for the oldest people. > older people needed it more. > keeping that large group unvaccinated meant that they represented a pool of potential infection that needed to be dealt with > more vomits. Ok, ignoring for a second the complete evil insanity that the flu farce is, what we have here is Jim Bell barefaedly promoting FREE GOVERNMENT VACCINES. That's right. What Jim Bell is barefacedly promoting is GOVERNMENT 'MEDICINE', aka 'socialized healthcare', aka communism. Governments are giving 'free healthcare' to their subjects, and communist Jim Bell is PROMOTING those government actions. To make this even more hilarious, the 'free' commie poison that governments give away come from the 'private' mafias that Jim Bell love so much like pfizer and co. So to be more accurate Bell is not only a commie promoting 'socialized healthcare', he's also a right-wing commie, aka fascist, working as marketing criminal for pfizer. This is the turd who wants to pose as 'anti government'.

The right spent months downplaying Rittenhouse's associations with the far right. It's been less than 3 weeks since the trial ended and he's sitting down w/Schaffer, who posts Nazi imagery and just hosted a pillow-soft 2.5 hr-long interview w/Nick Fuentes. https://angrywhitemen.org/2021/10/16/in-2018-blazetv-host-decried-immigrati…
