I’ve just successfully completed MIT’s “Introduction to Quantum Computing” xPRO course. This comes seven years after creating Quantum JavaScript in order to teach myself the basics of QC—but better late than never.

The Listening Room at MOI. 86 Wardour Street, London W1F 0TQ, United Kingdom. https://listeningroom.bar. Thursday, 14 May 2026, from 17:30 to 24:30 BST.

It’s official. I’ve just joined Moth—the creative quantum software company. More to come soon.

I don’t often receive personal whiteboard lectures on quantum mechanics. But when I do, I make sure it’s from a Nobel-Prize-winning Yale professor 😆 Congratulations, Dr. Michel Devoret! 🍾🥂🎉

From the the Nobel Foundation’s official announcement: The Nobel Prize in Physics 2025 was awarded jointly to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit.” The photo above was snapped by Dr. Florian Carle, Managing Director of Yale University’s Quantum Institute (YQI), during my 2022–2023 artist residency at YQI. Dr. Devoret (on the left) was patiently explaining to me (on the right, back to camera) the graphical power of Feynman diagrams as a logical reasoning device. I am not a physicist, and had little business receiving such focussed attention—exactly one of the joys of participating in Florian’s residency program.

Last Thursday I joined the “Beyond the Frontier” conference here in New York, speaking on the discussion panel, “Inventive by Nature: Creative Entrepreneurship in Times of Change.” And then I ripped my shirt off.

With less than ten minutes until our scheduled group appearance, our gang of four huddled in a corner of Microsoft’s Soho office “garage” to introduce ourselves to one another. Our panel consisted of Amy Peck (Founder & CEO, EndeavorXR), Sam Hunter Magee (Director on Creativity and Entrepreneurship for the Lemann Program at Harvard), Tiya Gordon (Co-founder & COO, It’s Electric), and myself. I was happily outclassed. I had a good feeling about our panel.

I’ve just returned from an absolutely gorgeous “peak autumn” journey by rail up to New Haven, Connecticut as a recently-minted Artist in Residence at Yale University’s Quantum Institute.

Over this present academic year I’ll be collaborating with Yale students, faculty, and researchers associated with the Yale Quantum Institute (YQI) to create quantum-inspired artworks. This program is organized by YQI manager (and official rocket scientist!), Florian Carle, who created the artist residency role. I’ve impossible shoes to fill, with past residents such as Martha W Lewis and Spencer Topel. An exciting adventure to set forth on, to be sure.
