Now

A short, frequently-updated note about what I am working on right now. Inspired by nownownow.com. Last updated: November 2025.

Currently focused on

  • Wrapping up my Byzantine-fault-tolerant quantum consensus work and turning the follow-up notes into a paper draft.
  • Building out the Quantum Radar automation that lives in this repo (see it here) so I can keep tabs on the field without spending all day in feed readers.
  • Tutoring a small group of students in physics, intro quantum, and test-prep topics on the side.

Reading

  • Selected papers from QIP and TQC proceedings.
  • Re-reading Nielsen & Chuang chapters 8 and 12 for a class I am sitting in on.

Thinking about

  • How to give realistic plain-language abstracts for technical papers without watering down the actual contribution.
  • Whether my QR “movers & shakers” list should track research labs more granularly than companies — they move at very different cadences.
