Ruminator
The volume of papers on quant-ph is getting unmanageable; ruminator is a small tool that attempts to surface a few interesting papers daily based on a list of interests and keywords, along with a simple up/down vote to nudge recommendations. LLM-generated summaries of the top 6 papers are also displayed. Vibe-coded, but hopefully built in the spirit of convivial tooling as a system that makes the research flow more legible without removing any user agency. Graze broadly and chew the cud. Local-only, for now…
Auspex 2.0
Auspex is our lab’s experiment orchestration and instrument control framework built in python for general purpose as well as qubit-specific use. We are finally bringing it into the future (Python 3.13), and taking the opportunity to rethink how lab software can help researchers define, run, and understand their experiments.
TinyRV-BSV
I am a huge proponent of BlueSpec SystemVerilog (BSV) as a better way to design hardware, especially for small teams. TinyRV-BSV is a toy RV32I core built over a day for fun. It also powers the next generation of our lab’s qubit control FPGA hardware.
