As promised, the top three papers I found interesting this week:

Real-time quantum error correction beyond break-even (from @Yale_QI researchers)
https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.09116

Efficient Unitary Designs with a System-Size Independent Number of Non-Clifford Gates (@jenseisert and his colleagues)

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00220-022-04507-6

Cloaking a qubit in a cavity (Alexandre Blais @circuitQED and colleagues)

#Python 3.6 is the new 2.7 in terms of people not being willing to let go. 😅

Python 3.6 is no longer supported upstream, so unless you're paying someone for Python support you are not getting security fixes (and haven't since last year). And if you're thinking of upgrading to 3.7, understand that you're so far behind at this point that 3.7 reaches EOL in about 8 months (June 2023), so you should probably target Python 3.8 at minimum if you're still on 3.6.
