• A Yale research paper on “Exponential Quantum Enhancement for Distributed Addition with Local Nonlinearity” was shared, proposing a quantum-computing scheme that achieves exponential speed-ups for certain distributed addition tasks by exploiting local nonlinear interactions (http://qulab.eng.yale.edu/documents/papers/Marblestone,%20Devoret%20-%20Exponential%20Quantum%20Enhancement%20for%20Distributed%20Addition%20with%20Local%20Nonlinearity.pdf).

• The open-source tool “magic-wormhole” (https://github.com/warner/magic-wormhole) was highlighted as a simple, secure method for peer-to-peer file transfers, demonstrating the community’s interest in practical, privacy-preserving infrastructure.
