A newsletter featuring first-person analysis and conversations about quantum computing, networking and sensing, including industry infrastructure, open source software and commercial readiness. Readers get informed commentary that separates scientific milestones from commercial usefulness.
A physicist explains quantum computing engineering topics in accessible detail, such as magic-state cultivation, why fabless models may or may not transfer to quantum chips, and whether bigger dilution fridges help scaling. Readers get technical context that is hard to find elsewhere, with a clear personal voice.
Distributed Thoughts is an analytical newsletter on distributed computing, cloud infrastructure and data systems. Recent issues cover European cloud sovereignty, a hybrid quantum-classical chemistry result from IBM and partners, and the root causes of Telstra's 2026 outage from a GPS week-number rollover.
Artist David Young writes about his creative process, the philosophy behind his quantum and AI artworks, and his 'Post-AI' position that machine learning is inherently backward-looking. The issues cover the origins and pausing of a project, the question of whether AI might suffer, and a manifesto arguing for human creativity beyond current AI.
