Akira Kyle’s Blogoroam

Selected notes

My current workflows
- An (ongoing) attempt at explaining how this blogoroam is an aspect of my metacognitive processes.
My “tech stack” (aka all my dotfiles)
- The hardware and software I use with links to how I’ve set it all up.
This website
- The org-publish configuration that generates this website.
emacs-webkit
- An Emacs Dynamic Module for WebKit, aka a fully fledged browser inside emacs
Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) Scaling, Performance Assessment and Optimization
- My 2018 NCAR SIParCS Program Research. My talk can be found here.

Papers

In (Lordi et al. 2024) we play around with a quantum version of a Rubik’s cube.
- This paper got some press!
  - Quantum Rubik’s cube has infinite patterns but is still solvable | New Scientist
  - Scientists Invented A Quantum Rubik’s Cube To Win A Bet. It’s Infinitely Hard – But Solvable | IFLScience (Reddit thread)
In (Shlosberg et al. 2024) we find a flaw in the security analysis of disperse optics quantum key distribution.
In (Totey et al. 2023) we do a numerical study on the performance of rotation-symmetric bosonic codes and some notions of random rotation codes.
In (Kyle et al. 2023) we analyze a bunch of different schemes to optically network superconducting qubits using electro-opto-mechanical transduction.
In (Rau et al. 2022) we find when electro-opto-mechanical transducers are capable of achieving quantum operation.
In (Kwiatkowski et al. 2023) we find the thresholds on Gaussian noise channels beyond which it is possible to perform entanglement swapping with Gaussian measurements.
