  • A Big Deal

    A paradigm shift might be coming where photons and phonons take over the role of electrons in both data storage and computing.

  • Most of All, You Need a Junkyard

    It would be smart if we could incentivise up-and-coming players to compete on ideas and execution, rather than on who’s got the bigger machine.

  • The Fog of Physics

    I once took a course in “Contemporary history”. The most recent couple of decades were out of scope. That’s telling.

  • Things I Didn’t Know About Quantum Entanglement

    I’ve gained a valuable insight into how humanity’s collective understanding of this enigmatic field has evolved over time. I feel that goes a long way.
