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-publishconfiguration that generates this website.
- The
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.

- In (Lordi et al. 2024) we play around with a quantum version of a Rubik’s cube.
- This paper got some press!
- The APS press releases: Bluesky, X, instagram

- This paper got some press!
- 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.
