What an exciting time to be alive.
We're starting to explore a regime of physics that has always been out of reach: large, highly entangled quantum systems that we can build and control ourselves.
Quantum mechanics itself is on very solid ground. It has passed every experimental test for a century, and it already underpins the modern world, from the chips in your phone to lasers and MRI.
We know the rules. What we often can't do is calculate what they produce once many particles become deeply entangled. Fully describing the state of just 300 entangled qubits can take more numbers than there are atoms in the observable universe, and no classical computer can keep up.
Quantum computers are the first machines that let us create these states on purpose and study them directly. Scaling them to millions of qubits takes us into territory no one has ever been able to test.
There are two possible outcomes, and both are extraordinary.
If quantum mechanics holds at that scale, as most physicists expect, we gain an instrument for physics we've never been able to compute: new phases of matter, new materials and molecules, and open puzzles like high-temperature superconductivity, still not fully explained 40 years after its discovery. Early machines have already produced exotic states, like time crystals and non-Abelian anyons, that once existed only in theory.
If it doesn't hold, and these systems behave in ways the theory can't explain, that would be the biggest discovery in physics since quantum mechanics itself.
And there's precedent for this.
Electromagnetism was always around us, in lightning and lodestones, long before we understood it well enough to build motors, power grids and radio. The nucleus sat inside every atom for billions of years before the 20th century turned it into nuclear power and medicine.
Entanglement fits the same pattern: it's already everywhere in nature, and we're only now learning to engineer it at scale.
We can't predict where that leads, and history suggests we'd guess wrong. The inventors of the transistor and the laser didn't foresee the smartphone or the internet. The biggest impact of mastering entanglement will likely be something no one has imagined yet, or dare I say even capable of imagining.

Post-communism (1989–2026) – an Obituary
Post-communism was born in 1989, of a lie. We were told communism had ended. It had only changed its name. The communists handed over the government and kept the rest. The change was real on the surface and fake underneath.
Every lie needs a charming face. Post-communism found its best one in Donald Tusk, Poland's Tony Blair: modern, smiling, fluent in the language the West wanted to hear. Brussels loved him, and in time post-communism grew into Euro-communism: the same apparatus, the same contempt for the voter, now speaking the language of "European values".
This week, the face slipped. Riot police kept the Chief Justice out of his own Constitutional Tribunal, and the government called it restoring the rule of law.
A lie that needs the police has stopped persuading anyone. Lies do not die gently. They stand until the day they fall all at once. In 1989, we were told that day had come. It had only been postponed. Now this lie is coming to an end – and this time, the end will be real.
Post-communism is survived, for now, by its networks. In lieu of flowers, Poles are asked to vote in 2027.
Post-communism is dead.
Long live a Free Poland! 🇵🇱🗽✌🏻

The Polish post-communist institutions are completely dysfunctional.
A new Polish state needs to be established after 37 years of post-communism.
A Free Poland ✌🏻🇵🇱
Long live Poland!! 🇵🇱🗽
Czy ktoś mi może wytłumaczyć jakie jest znaczenie tego kto wejdzie, a kto nie wejdzie do budynku Trybunału Konstytucyjnego??
Przecież to jest jakaś żenada na poziomie jakiegoś kompletnego Bantustanu.
Jeśli obecna konstytucja nie ustala tutaj jasnych reguł działania, to to państwo się po prostu do niczego nie nadaje.
Tu trzeba po prostu postawić zupełnie nowe państwo.

The President of Poland 🇵🇱 is being pushed around at night, at the entrance of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal.
It is a full constitutional crisis.
The Polish post-communist institutions are completely dysfunctional.
The reality of it is that no one really understands how the system is supposed to work, and the constitutional order has effectively crashed. It is a complete constitutional mess.
The current constitution, designed by the post-communists, was deliberately made convoluted and messy.
The Polish state needs a full reset, built on new, sound foundations.
A new Polish state needs to be established after 37 years of post-communism.
A Free Poland 🇵🇱✌🏻
Long live Poland!! 🇵🇱🗽

Dom consistently puts out some of the best threads in #quantumcomputing (along with @infosec). Both are must-follows if you’re interested in the space.
.@Alice__Bob (Paris) just compiled Shor's algorithm onto cat qubits, down to every physical qubit.
RSA-2048: 22,593 qubits, 3.14 days. About 40x fewer than Google's 2025 estimate.
The catch: it assumes bit-flip stability nobody has built yet. 🧵

But zoom out:
In 15 years, RSA-2048 estimates shrank 5 orders of magnitude in qubit-days. Algorithms, codes and qubit design compound. A Paris startup now sits at the low corner of the chart.
Direction: the RSA-breaking bar keeps falling, and hardware physics is now the bottleneck.
