That's probably one of my favourite things about the entire narrative - that no matter how many times Aaron and Ella/Juliette are tortured, no matter how many times their minds are erased and played with, they still manage to find their way back to each other. Hell, Psycho Dad actually orchestrates an entire situation in which Juliette perceives Aaron as her enemy (and not once, but twice!), and their love still prevails. No wonder I'm so emotional about them.
Wooooo!!! Evil dad!!!! He’s one of my fave YA evil dads out there because he’s sooooo psycho.
If I remember correctly (it’s been YEARS since I read this series from start to finish so earlier books are a bit hazy), at some point Juliette goes “oh, heard you can’t kill your psycho dad, Warner. Hmmm, you know what? I actually can!” That’s one way to ensure no in-law problems.
Honestly between Juliette and Warner, with four parents, they have 75% abuser/torturer rate going which is terrible odds! I loved the end of the series but together plus dog (that Warner names “Dog,” because of course he does) is about the most those two can manage. I don’t think they should ever ever ever have kids!
ETA: if I were the evil Dad, I’d be seeing if the warranty is still valid on whatever mindwipe device he’s been using on his son.
You keep scrambling his brain to forget her and it keeps not working! He gets obsessed with her all over again. The product is faulty, get your money back!

Saint Louis of the Vieux Carré —an LDPDL fan event
A month-long creative challenge to celebrate Louis's 146th birthday, this October 4th. Starting October 1st and through the whole month, we'll be celebrating AMC IWTV's Louis de Pointe du Lac, who turns 146 this year!
Starting October 1st, you��ll be able to see the fan creations shared as part of the event in the tag, here »
31 prompts
day 1. humanity | human life
day 2. crossover
day 3. confession | penance
day 4. through the decades
day 5. hunger | feeding habits
day 6. canon divergence
day 7. memory | keepsake
day 8. fashion
day 9. epistolary | handwritten
day 10. missing scene
day 11. literature | intertext
day 12. intoxication
day 13. floral | the last bouquet
day 14. dubai
day 15. love | lust
day 16. parenthood
day 17. canvas | visual arts
day 18. storytelling

day 27. grief | ghosts
day 28. paris
day 29. childhood | innocence
day 30. music
day 31. halloween | haunted houses
How does this event work?
Every day of the month has an assigned prompt. The real challenge is to try and create something new for each day and each prompt.
But, of course, that is an ambitious goal! There are easier options.
If you...
create only one thing, or two, or three
only create something for two or three of these prompts
create something for a prompt but post it a few days later
don’t follow the prompts at all
...you’re still participating —as long as your creation is about Louis de Pointe du Lac, as portrayed by Jacob Anderson.
And Louis's character exists in relation with others, of course! So your contribution could be a portrait of the entire du Lac family, a playlist about one of his romantic relationships, a comic about his relationship with Claudia from her point of view, etc.
If Louis is at the heart of your creation, then your piece is in the spirit of this event.
This challenge isn’t limited to fanfiction or fanart!
Your contributions as a fan don’t have to be restricted to the most usual mediums. Beyond fanfic and fanart, some things that you may decide to create include: fanmixes, moodboards, gifsets, photomanips and graphics; fanedits and AMVs; meta and analysis in written, audio or video form; poetry, music, a blog post about your headcanons, your meta, or your favorite fanworks; and anything else you can think of.
Your creations can be related to your own or others’ existing work as well —if, for example, you want to use one of the prompts to add to an existing fanfiction series, or as inspiration for fanart of your favorite fic, that’s totally within the scope of this challenge!
You can start working on your creations for this challenge with as much (or as little) anticipation as you like, but remember to hold off from sharing them until the event starts. And, if you are taking inspiration from a prompt, we encourage you to share your work on that day.
Reblog or repost this text and graphic to spread the love; and don't forget to tag your posts with #IWTVfanevents or tag @iwtvfanevents so we can share them on the blog, and add them to the collection on AO3: Happy birthday LDPDL!

8, 19, 22 for the Hannibal asks 😊
Thanks, Dia! <3
Questions from this ask game.
8. Favorite dish?
Oh, you might hate me for this, but Bedelia's leg is hands down the most stunning and emotionally impactful dish. For a nasty book fan like me, eating someone while they're sat at the dinner table is quintessentially Hannibal, and while the scenes with Gideon are beautiful in their own way, they can't compare to how absolutely radiant Gillian Anderson is in that post-credits scene.
Janice Poon's food styling is impeccable and sooo romantic, with pomegranates, roses, flowers spilling out onto the table, and a bed of ice representing the ninth circle of hell in Dante's Inferno (positioning Bedelia as the ultimate betrayer). And the ti leaves studded with blackberries are gorgeous! Honestly, were her leg still attached, Bedelia could wear it as is to the Met Gala.
Plus, a pit-roasted leg is iconic (I head canon that Will dug the pit because Hannibal was too injured from his bullet wound). No dour "come from clay, return to clay" references here; this is a celebration. Also, there was a version of the script where Hannibal carved a portion of the leg and served it (see the pre-made cuts on the far left) and ahhhh I wish we could've seen that. C'est la vie.
[I feel so guilty choosing this one right in front of your salad. I promise I love Bedelia! Had Hannibal cooked and plated Will's brain in Dolce, that probably would've been my fav dish instead. I'm just a slut for the original brain-eating scene. 😭]
19. Do you relate to any character? Any lines?
I always get Bedelia when I take quizzes, and that makes sense to me! I'm reserved around people I don't know. We're both analytical and too curious for our own good. "Greed and blind optimism" lol. I'd be on that flight to Paris, too.
^ Me when I'm having a panic attack.
Also, her esoteric dialogue is so me writing meta. Girl, what are you even saying...
22. Have any personal head/heart canons that you don’t hear talked about often?
I don't hear most of my personal head canons talked about often because they're incredibly angsty! For example, I believe that:
S3b physically and mentally broke Will, and he needs Hannibal to put his pieces back together post-fall.
Post-fall Hannibal still needs to work through his past with Mischa/Abigail and his tendency to destroy the things he loves (an ever-present threat in his relationship with mentally-vulnerable Will).
Until these conflicts are resolved, they're both unstable and self-destructive, and it's a major impediment to their life on the run.
I also love the idea of toxic yuri marlana.
Basically, I want my favs to suffer as much as possible, bc that's what I find most interesting. 😇

TOSHIKI - The Toshiki Shop 2024.2.17 Sat - 3.3 Sun
この度VOILLDは、陶芸家・デザイナーの八木沢俊樹が率いるクリエイティブスタジオ、Toshikiによる展覧会「The Toshiki Shop」を開催します。本展はVOILLDでは初となる展示となります。
Toshikiは、2010年頃より活動をスタートし、陶器、3Dプリント、木材、コンクリートなどの様々なメディウムを掛け合わせ、独自の技法を用いて先鋭的なプロダクトの開発やオリジナルの作品を制作しています。Toshikiによるモダニズムの解釈が投影された作品やプロダクトは、これまでも国内外の様々なデザイナー、アーティスト、企業と取り組みを行ってきており、国境を超えて高く��価され続けています。本展は、従来のギャラリーの形態ではなく、ショップという概念を取り入れることで、作品とプロダクトとの境界線を曖昧にし、物質的な消費を超えた深い思索を促し、作品と観客の間の新たな関係性を創出します。
会場では、3Dプリンティング技術と伝統的な陶芸技術を融合した「Terra Meta Ceramic」シリーズをはじめ、チェーンソーのみを使用したドライブ感溢れる彫刻作品「Phantom」シリーズ、そしてベルリンのデジタルアートスタジオ、Zeitguised(ツァイトガイスト)との協業による作品「Metamodulated」からなる、およそ20点に及ぶ新作の立体作品を展示致します。これらの作品は、バーチャル・ヴァンダリズムやデジタルツインの概念に影響を受けており、バーチャルとフィジカル、抽象と具象、生成と製造、エレガンスと低俗の間を反復横跳びして生まれたものです。ジャンルを超え、類を見ない作品世界を広げ続けるToshikiの実験的な試みを体感することのできる本展を、是非ご高覧頂ければ幸いです。皆様のご来場を、心よりお待ち申し上げております。

Paris Notebooks: Essays & Reviews by Mavis Gallant - 4/5
Anyone who has visited Paris, or any part of France will no doubt be familiar with la grève. The French accept labor strikes as part of daily life. It’s no doubt politically effective, though as often as you’ll hear “train’s late? C’est la grève” seldom will the matter being protested be discussed. Reading Mavis Gallant’s first-hand account of the 1968 Paris Riot while missing a boat à cause de la grève was a microdose of the social climate she immerses herself in. Unsure if she mentions the historical context ever, her thoughtfully slipshod prose instead puts the reader in a time and place where the people rioting may not have known what the protests were originally about, either. She illustrates the occasional hypocrisy of the student protesters (“We ask, ‘Why Stalin?’ She hesitates, has been asked this before, says in a parrot’s voice, ‘We are prepared to admit his errors, but he was a revolutionary, too.’ Then so was Hitler.”) but for the most part remains a sympathetic, if detached observer to the myriad of grievances. The prose is sparse (it was intended as field notes) but still remarkably funny. The Events in May: A Paris Notebook is notable for having inspired a section of the film The French Dispatch, and I had read the first half in the Anderson-edited collection An Editor’s Burial. In its entirety it remained out of print until earlier this year, and while The Events in May is clearly the centerpiece of this collection, the other essays are worth mentioning.
The second longest piece in this book is a true-crime essay of almost 70 pages called “Immortal Gatito: The Gabrielle Russier Case,” which was also a surprisingly enthralling read. It tells the story of a female schoolteacher who slept with a 16 year old student, and the ensuing legal battle and eventual suicide of Gabrielle Russier. To make the case understandable for American audiences (the account was originally published in the New Yorker) Gallant expounds on the nuances of Napoleonic law, and somehow makes that interesting. For example, “in a French murder trial the jury is not asked to decide if the defendant did it but if he is guilty,” a nuance which creates nuances such as a man who stabbed his neighbor to death simply for being annoying (“the court expressed sympathy for persons who live in noisy and jerry-built apartment houses.”) But interestingly, this leniency is what caused the courts to come down so hard on Russier (a divorcée). Doubtlessly statutory rape is never okay, but in 1960s France, the same crime committed by a man against a girl would be treated with leniency; this double standard is what sparked a lot of the culture war surrounding this case. “Immortal Gatito” is not an essay I would have sought out if it had not been in this volume, but Gallant treats her subjects with both nuance and sympathy without necessarily forgiving their actions and it made for a fascinating read.
The rest of this collection was not as interesting as these two pieces, and it seemed a lot of them were chosen at random simply for being about Paris, almost as if to cram the book to justify the price. There are some introductions Gallant wrote to various biographies such as Paul Léautaud and Marguerite Yourcenar, but nothing as personal in voice as A Paris Notebook. Her voice throughout makes me want to read more, but I didn’t get enough of an impression from these alone. The last section of the book is reviews of other books, none of which I had read, and mostly biographies. Reading them felt Borges-level meta; though I didn’t get anything out of them, here I am writing a review of reviews.

anderson and his paradox:
about the duality of a man.
(aka see me rambling in this 1500-words long essay about how much i love him)
the first half of his paradox: he’s more than capable of love. i would even dare to say that love is a driving force behind 99% of his actions.
let’s look at examples:
adam’s mom (aurora):
i’ve said it before, i’ll say it again: he worshiped the ground she walked on. it’s a fact. it’s what adam said about him in unravel me: i know he loved my mom. it was always her, everything was about her.
her death was probably the worst thing that happened to him, the loss that made him truly suffer, hence him constantly talking about how he wants to shield warner from it. that whole thing with lena is not about control itself, it’s about warner not making his own mistakes. there’s a genuine desire to protect there.
evie:
considering how little information is given about them it’s honestly amazing how much there lies between the lines (can mafi write everything the way she’s written them, please?).
they’re the perfect example of my favourite type of soulmates. he’s actually second worst person on this planet, because first place is already taken by her. there’s no one who knows him better then her (she knew about adam = she knew about aurora). there’s no one who understands him better than her (them being two vital parts of the RE from the very beginning). it doesn’t matter how much they fight, he trusts her with his life no questions asked: he comes to her before ignite me and asks her to make him immortal. considering evie’s words in defy me about how she was ready to kill him for trying to kill juliette in unravel me it was very risky of him (because if there’s one person that could slit open his throat and kill him for good, because he let his guard down, it would be evie). he trusts her to do her job and has no doubts about her capability to succeed. his first reaction to her death is ‘what? it can’t be real!’ because evie for him is almost untouchable entity ‘if they couldn’t hurt me, they sure as hell won’t be able to hurt her’. when he realizes that it’s true he’s terrified.
and anderson doesn’t do terrified.
/i really don’t know what can scream LOVE louder than this/
warner:
we can’t not talk about warner here.
warner betrays him and he still saves warner life. you need to remember that the only reason why warner is still alive in defy me, after he committed treason, is because anderson protects him.
by that time in restore me/defy me anderson, who technically lost his position as a supreme, still managed to save warner’s life /because he’s cool like that/.
“I had to call in a number of favors to have you transported here unharmed. The council was going to vote to have you executed for treason, and I was able to convince them otherwise.”
even evie doesn’t dare to fuck with warner because she knows anderson will come at them with the wrath of god.
“If Aaron were anyone else’s son,” she says, “I would’ve had him executed. I’d have him executed right now, if I could. Unfortunately, I alone do not have the authority.”
anyone else’s son.
so yeah the problem here is not that warner is one of the heirs of the RE. the problem here is that he’s anderson’s son.
plus his entire conflict with juliette is rooted in the fact that she
a) tried to hurt warner
unravel me:
I cannot allow him to protect a person who has attempted to kill him.
restore me:
The monster we’ve bred has tried to kill my own son.
b) tried to take warner from him.
restore me:
Worse, she’s become a distraction for Aaron. He’s become—in a toxic turn of events—impossibly drawn to her, with no apparent regard for his own safety. I have no idea what she’s done to his mind.
and then in imagine me he declines warner’s offer.
“You would be willing to sacrifice yourself—your youth and your health and your entire life—to let that damaged, deranged girl continue to walk the earth? Do you even understand what you’re saying? You have every opportunity—all the potential—and you’d be willing to throw it all away? In exchange for what?Do you even know the kind of life to which you’d be sentencing yourself ?”
/i dare you to tell me he didn’t love warner, i dare you/
juliette:
as a cherry on top, there’s juliette, of course.
when we’re talking about hate we’re talking about juliette, no questions asked. i truly believe that his hatred for her was stronger than his love for aurora and evie combined. and still what brings him down for good is not hate for her but adoration of her (oh irony, my irony).
after 12 years of hatred, after 12 years of her being ‘the bane of his existence’, he still ended up spending his dying breath to make sure she will be safe.
“I ordered you to remain silent,” he says, glancing back at her. “And I am now ordering you to remain safe, at all costs. Do you hear me, Juliette? Do y—”
“Kill them,” Anderson gasps, blood staining the edges of his lips. “Kill them all. Kill anyone who stands in your way.”
just like defy-me warner, imagine-me juliette survives ONLY because of anderson.
he even apologized to her at one point.
“You know, I realize now that I’ve been too hard on you. I’ve put you through too much. Tested your loyalty perhaps too much. But you and I have a long history, Juliette. And it’s not easy for me to forgive. I certainly don’t forget.”
anderson??? admitting??? that??? what??? he??? did??? was??? wrong???
and not because he needs to get off the hook, but because he actually feels like it was too much???
ALERT THE MASSES, THE WORLD NEEDS TO HEAR ABOUT IT!!!
btw, do my eyes deceive me, or did this ‘not easy to forgive’ mean that he actually already FORGAVE her for trying to kill him?
anyhow if that wasn’t enough look at this:
“What could possibly go wrong?” Anderson asks. “She’s more powerful than any of them, and completely obedient to me. To us. To the movement. You all know as well as I do that she’s proven her loyalty again and again. She’d be able to capture them in a matter of minutes.”
do you see it?
it’s the same thing that happened with evie: no one here is strong enough to hurt her (oh, i can see some PROJECTIONS here happening).
it’s funny how the way Anderson acts is EXACTLY what I expected from Warner. he isn't just talking about how she can do anything, when moment comes he ACTS.
Anderson is guarding Juliette. The same Anderson who’s spent so much of his energy trying to murder her—is now standing in front of her with his arms out, guarding her with his life.
i’d still prefer for her or him to kill ibrahim but even without it... he says you can burn this place to the ground, I don’t care as long as you’re safe, he chooses her over not only the RE, he chooses her over WARNER.
/and you expect me not to ship this??? sure, jen, i’m not gonna/
conclusion number 1: yes, my beautiful people, everything Anderson does in one way or another tied to love.
the second half of his paradox: love doesn’t make him a better person, it doesn’t even make him fully human. you’d think that if person capable of such strong feelings there’s supposed to be something worth saving, just like castle’s said:
“Of course he’s a regular person, son. That’s exactly the point. We’re all just regular people, when you strip us down. There’s nothing to be afraid of when you look at Anderson; he’s just as human as you or me. Just as terrified. And I’m sure if he could go back and do his life over again, he’d make very different decisions.”
(castle is a fucking idiot, never listen to people like him or you’re gonna end up neck-deep in shit)
but at the end of the day anderson remains a fucking monster.
his love for aurora doesn’t stop him from marrying another woman and having a child with her because it’s the easiest way to social climb.
his love and devotion to evie and re (mostly evie, because evie is the reestablishment) doesn’t stop him from playing games with juliette and putting everything and everyone at risk just because he’s bored.
i won’t even start commenting on warner’s situation, because otherwise we’re gonna sit here for days and i’ll end up with 100k words essay about them.
and even his enamourment with juliette doesn’t actually protect her from his violent nature. even this perfect, absolutely perfect juliette still has to prove herself (cut off her finger to show her loyalty). it still very easy for him to hurt her.
conclusion number 2: him being in love, him caring about someone, him trusting someone doesn’t change his fundamental nature. he still remains a destructive force put into a human body.
he’s a fucking satan.
and that’s exactly why i love him.

“El Mañana Nunca Muere”: Sabotear lo mediático para salvar el mundo
Por Lucas Manuel Rodríguez* GoldenEye (1995) había sido un éxito absoluto del marketing mundial, por lo que era esperable que la siguiente película de Pierce Brosnan en 007 diera a luz lo más pronto posible. Fue entonces que la productora puso manos a la obra para preservar la dieta temporal de una película cada dos años, que bien se marcó en las últimas siete realizadas entre los períodos de Moore y Dalton, y en cuestión de meses la secuela ya era anunciada.
Soluciones para el regreso inmediato
En medio de las presiones por parte de la Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) de replicar el impacto de su antecesora, los productores Barbara Broccoli y Michael G. Wilson hicieron lo posible por recuperar a Martin Campbell para la dirección de El Mañana Nunca Muere (primer título que nada tiene que ver con el legado del autor Ian Fleming), sin embargo el neozelandés declinó y todo quedó en manos del director de nacionalidad canadiense y británica, Roger Spottiswoode, heredero del veterano Sam Peckinpah y con el aclamado debut en cines de Los Perros de Paja (1971), pero también con otros repudios como ¡Para! O mi mamá dispara (1992). Por otra parte, lo que sí se mantuvo para esta entrega fue la pauta de Campbell de “construir la historia en imágenes”, para esto se volvió a contratar al guionista Bruce Feirstein y a Martin Asbury para el diseño de guiones gráficos. A pesar de que esta sea una película con reseñas divididas en sitios como Rotten Tomatoes o Metacritic, los críticos coinciden que en materia acción esta Bond no defrauda para nada, y eso queda claro desde la primera secuencia, la que se mantuvo tal cual a las indicaciones planteadas entre Feirstein y Asbury.
Un Mundo-Bond sin Ley de Medios Audiovisuales
En El Mañana Nunca Muere tenemos el último regreso del MMM, o Malvado Megalómano Millonario, acuñado por Alberto Salas en en10puntos (ver nota de La Espía Que Me Amó publicada en Bond En Argentina). El villano de turno es Elliot Carver, un magnate multimediático con la meta final de disolver a China para conseguir exclusividad en sus derechos de radiodifusión para los próximos cien años de su Grupo de medios, Carver Media Group Network (Grupo Carver de Red Mediática), con Tomorrow (o El Mañana) como medio gráfico cabecera. Su método sigue los pasos de William Randolph Hearst, en tanto que les pide las imágenes a sus empleados y él asegura que con ellas brindará la guerra. Para esto genera tensiones entre las potencias de China e Inglaterra, perforando submarinos de los ejércitos de estas dos naciones con su taladro acuático (o Sea-Vac), con la mano de obra de tropas militares que realizan y filman estos sabotajes. Spottiswoode estaba fascinado con el desempeño de Jonathan Pryce en el musical de la década de 1980, Miss Saigon, por su capacidad de ser “creíble, versátil y con un malvado sentido del humor”, y el actor se sumó al elenco después de rodar sus escenas como el presidente Juan Domingo Perón en Evita (1996) de Alan Parker, y con Madonna encarnando a su esposa y protagonista que da título al film. Pryce quizás sea más reconocido mundialmente por protagonizar al padre de Keira Knightley en las tres primeras Piratas del Caribe (2003-2007), el gobernador Weatherby Swann.
Confrontaciones tecnológicas
Recordemos que a Bond le conciernen las actividades terroristas de Carver ya que es un Comandante Naval por oficio, siendo esta la tercera y última vez que lo vemos usar un traje formal correspondiente a su rango, pero esta seriedad le dura poco. El reconocido espía cuenta nuevamente con los artilugios de la Sección Q y en la secuela de Brosnan se divierte con ellos como en no tantas ocasiones, siendo la secuencia más querida la que involucra el uso del BMW 750iL con todas, y absolutamente todas, sus utilerías: ametralladoras, misiles y rastreo GPS controlados desde el teclado táctil de un celular Ericsson (con pantalla de alta definición y sistema de seguridad incluidos, todo un avance pionero en el desarrollo de Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación de los 90’s). Sobre la mencionada secuencia se suele decir que fueron destrozados entre diecisiete y dieciocho BMWs, sin embargo el director asegura que “solo fueron quince”. Ya sea para el manejo de la acción o la filmación de todos los estudios de Carver, Spottiswoode alaba la administración de cámaras del Director de Fotografía Robert Elswit, usual colaborador de Paul Thomas Anderson, y responsable en el mismo puesto de las partes Protocolo Fantasma (2011) y Nación Secreta (2015) de la saga Misión Imposible. Esto se debe a que las cámaras brindadas por la MGM eran Panavision con poca profundidad de campo, y para el director los sets fueron filmados e iluminados magníficamente.
Dicotomías en el recurso femenino
Por el lado de las “Chicas Bond”, las dos que más participación tuvieron en la trama fueron Paris Carver (interpretada por Teri Hatcher) y la agente del servicio chino Wai Lin (Michelle Yeoh). Se suele decir que la relación entre Brosnan y Hatcher, en y fuera de la filmación, resultó bastante conflictiva, más porque la actriz protagonista de Amas de Casa Desesperadas (2004-2012) estaba embarazada en su momento y su participación en cámaras fue filmada con tiempos acelerados, pero esto no es algo que se exprese en entrevistas filmadas o de audio. Paris Carver es la actual esposa del mismísimo Elliot, y ex-pareja de Bond, por lo que debe acudir a ella para obtener toda información respecto al caso en beneficio del Servicio Secreto Británico. En el caso de Wai Lin, Yeoh ya era una actriz estrella de Hong-Kong, destacada, entre otras habilidades, por haber estudiado ballet en Inglaterra, y esta fue la película que la catapultó a Hollywood, ya sea por sus buenos intercambios con Brosnan en pantalla y/o por su participación en las escenas de riesgo, al punto de que eran muy fuertes los rumores de una saga paralela a 007, con Lin como personaje principal.
Otra cuestión respecto a los desempeños femeninos se dio en el caso del tema principal de esta Bond 18. Fueron seleccionadas dos canciones cuyas letras mencionan al título original de la película, Tomorrow Never Dies, pero solo la versión de Sheryl Crow se quedó con dicho nombre y fue puesta en los créditos iniciales, mientras que la de K.D Lang se tituló Surrender, y fue reproducida recién en los créditos finales. A la fecha, se suele escuchar en círculos de fanáticos la preferencia por la labor de Lang, de la cual se dice que conserva lo mejor del glamur de la saga, y se repudia la de Crow por “parecer” digna de una publicidad de perfumes. A mi gusto, ambos son excelentes.
Opacados por otras aguas
Aunque no superó a su antecesora, El Mañana Nunca Muere cuenta con una recaudación mundial de más de 335 millones de dólares, lo cual es un mérito si lo comparamos con el presupuesto inicial de 110 millones, si bien no tan extraordinario ya que no se tiene en cuenta lo invertido en publicidad. En Argentina se estrenó en cines el 15 de enero de 1998 con un promedio de 309.774 espectadores que la vieron en su tiempo de exhibición. Sucede que el estreno de Titanic al mes siguiente (y previamente en diciembre en países anglosajones) prolongó su estadía en la pantalla grande durante casi un año de proyección, siendo que fue la primera película que registró Ultracine de haber superado los cuatro millones de espectadores en los cines argentinos, además de ser, junto con Avatar (2009), una de las dos primeras en superar el billón de dólares en la taquilla mundial. Aún así, la crítica especializada fue generalmente favorable, incluso tres de los principales medios gráficos de acá (Clarín, La Nación y Ámbito Financiero) le dieron la calificación de “Muy Buena”, resultado unánime que no volvió a verse, y la franquicia recibió luz verde para la vigésimo novena aventura de Bond, que resultó ser El Mundo No Basta.

Do you like marvel? Did you watch black panther: wakanda forever 🤧
Oh god no! Sorry. I hate super hero movies. I find the stories to be repetitive and boring. I actually don’t really watch most movies that come out because they don’t interest me and I’m pretentious so I tend to like Oscar bait movies. I like weird art style/avant garde movies that you can’t really predict or make sense of, stuff that makes you think. I love Wes Anderson, Darren Aronofsky, and Spike Jonze for directors.
Some movies I love:
Adaptation (meta af)
Being John Malcovich

I think even people into extreme BDSM would have a hard time dealing with this guy, as he doesn't seem the kind of guy who would respect a safeword.
Meet our latest entrant into the “hot evil dad of hot tortured blond YA ML” sweepstakes.
I confess I cackled.
(Tho unless you are into extreme BDSM, I don’t recommend this dude, looks or not.)

Jeffrey Cirio by Karolina Kuras
Q&A
When did you start dancing? I started dancing right around the age of nine.
Why did you start dancing? My sister, Lia, was a student at the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet. Our family had moved to Carlisle, Pennsylvania, so that she could study there. I had always enjoyed sports — soccer and karate especially — and I happened to see a men’s class. I asked my parents if I could take a class and the rest is history.
Which dancer inspired you most as a child? At first, it was my sister because I saw how hard she was working to achieve her dream. It soon became Fernando Bujones. He became my ballet inspiration.

Which dancer do you most admire? I still admire Fernando, although he is gone too soon from the ballet world. His dancing would still be relevant today. There are many amazing dancers out there today, but I would have to say Semyon Chudin is someone whose dancing I truly admire.
What’s your favourite role? That’s a tough one. I love dancing Solor in La Bayadère, Basilio in Don Quixote, and both Romeo and Mercutio in Romeo & Juliet. But I have enjoyed so many roles and ballets, it is really difficult to choose a favourite.
What role have you never played but would like to? Believe it or not, I have not danced Albrecht, and would certainly love to do so. However, I would really love to dance more of Kylián’s work. I had the opportunity to dance in a few of his pieces at Boston Ballet, but would love to work with him.
What’s your favourite ballet to watch? Any Kylián work, especially Gods & Dogs.
Who is your favourite choreographer? Another tough one. It is hard to choose just one, but I would say Kylián. I would also like the opportunity to work with Crystal Pite — I find her work fascinating.
Who is your favourite writer? I have always enjoyed C. S. Lewis.
Who is your favourite theatre or cinema director? I love film. Who to choose? I like Alfred Hitchcock, Guillermo Del Toro, Wes Anderson, Francis Ford Coppola, and Martin Scorsese, among others.

Who is your favourite actor? Tom Hanks.
Who is your favourite singer? I also love music, so this is difficult — Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight, and right now, Josh Edwards from Blanco White.
What is your favourite book? Growing up it was The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis, but right now it’s Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. I have not always been much of a reader, but I could not put this book down. I am hoping to put more practice into reading.
What is your favourite film? Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo & Juliet, The Goonies, Sandlot, and numerous others.

Which is your favourite city? I have too many favourite cities, as well: Copenhagen, Paris, Hong Kong, and London, of course. However, New York City, Boston, and Philadelphia will always be my homes.
What do you like most about yourself? My heritage. I also think I’m a pretty easy person to get along with and I consider myself a hard worker.
What do you dislike about yourself? I dislike that I can sometimes be too critical on myself, or not believe in myself and my abilities that I have been given.
English National Ballet Jeffrey Cirio with Fernanda Oliveira, Fernando Bufala in Akram Khan’s Giselle for English National Ballet © Laurent Liotardo
What was your proudest moment? Receiving a bronze medal at the USA International Ballet Competition in Jackson, Mississippi, at the age of 15 from Bruce Marks; being awarded a Princess Grace Award by Prince Albert of Monaco; seeing my first main stage choreographic creation (fremd) being performed at the Boston Opera House; seeing Cirio Collective come to fruition.
When and where were you happiest? I do not believe in looking in the past, and I try to be happy wherever I am.
What or who is the greatest love of your life? God.
What is your greatest fear? Not being the man God intended me to be.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? My height. I wish I was a little bit taller.
What do you consider your greatest achievement? Cirio Collective.
What is your most treasured possession? Faith and family.
Jeffrey Cirio with Mimi (mother), Ardel (father), Lia (sister), Gabriel (brother) and Phelan the dog, in Ocean City, NJ
What is your greatest extravagance? Clothes and shoes.
What do you consider the most overrated virtue? None are overrated, they are virtues for a reason.
On what occasion do you lie? I try never to lie, but I’m not perfect.
If you hadn’t been a dancer what would you have liked to be? A photographer or something in the fashion industry.
What is your most marked characteristic? Physical – my cleft lip scar.
Jeffrey Cirio by Karolina Kuras 01
Jeffrey Cirio by Karolina Kuras
What quality do you most value in a friend? Respect and honesty.
What quality do you most value in a colleague? Respect and honesty.
Which historical figure do you most admire? Jesus.
Which living person do you most admire? Each member of my family – they are each unique and amazing in their own way.
What do you most dislike? Dishonesty, disrespect, and zucchini.
What talent would you most like to have? To fly any sort of aircraft; if teleportation was considered a talent, I would choose that.
What’s your idea of perfect happiness? A good cup of coffee on a lazy Saturday morning, on a beach house porch looking out to the ocean. Sounds pretty darn good to me.
How would you like to die? In my sleep or doing something I love.
What is your motto? Go In! My close friends will know what I mean.

More Than A Number:Blog 2
The next six blog posts will cover each of the 32 women on the list from my first blog post. I will talk about them more thoroughly and talk not only about their lives but how the media has failed them.
REMEMBERING:
Dana Martin
Dana Martin was 31 years old. According to the Human Rights Campaign and an Alabama-based trans advocate named Daroneshia Duncan-Boyd, Dana was “a person loved by many.” She lived in Hull Hope, Alabama and was very well known in the transgender community of Birmingham and Montgomery according to Meta Ellis, the director of Montgomery Pride United. According to ZORA, Dana loved watching movies, specifically dramas and thrillers. She enjoyed shopping in her past time as well as taking walks and working out. Her friend Stasha Nicole speaks highly of their friendship and said Dana took a while to warm up to people but that “when she did extend her friendship, she did so with her whole heart.”
One way the media has failed Dana’s story is by initially misgendering her. Not only was she misgendered by multiple media reports but by law enforcement officials as well. Because of this lack sensitivity and lack of carefulness it delayed the awareness of her community and institutions like the Human Rights Campaign who strive to bring justice for her.
***
Ashanti Carmon
Ashanti Carmon was 27 years old. She was engaged to Phillip Williams who remembers her as someone who "did not deserve to leave this Earth so early, especially in the way that she went out.” She lived in Alexandria, Virginia with her fiance. According to ZORA and Earline Budd, who is a case manager at HIPS, Ashanti often came to visit and cared about many young girls in HIPS, a nonprofit organization that provides education, advocacy, and harm reduction resources for sex workers in the D.C. community. Earline described Ashanti as a woman who was “vibrant, young, and full of life.” In her free time, she was getting her hair done with her friend Donshia Predeoux. She was known as a kind woman with a bright smile.
One way the media has failed her is by grouping her into a plethora of statistics of trans women that have been killed. Nothing is said about her life story or how she lived as a hardworking woman. The only details shown are of her death and even then, that is insignificant.
***
Claire Legato
Claire Legato was 21 years old. She was remembered by friends and family as someone who was “full of life.” She lived in Cleveland, Ohio and was described as a “conciliator” by her friend Fred Hunt. According to ZORA he talks about how “she loved helping people — regardless of circumstances — and how she helped to bring him out of his shell.” No matter what she “She brought comfort to those close to her.” She was a prankster and enjoyed cosmetology, reality TV, and music. She was an avid musician and dancer.
One way the media has failed in representing her is by not even naming her in certain articles. She is only talked about as a “21 year old transgender woman.” She is more than her age and she has a name. By not naming Claire it dehumanizes her in the eyes of the public making it easier to forget her as yet another black trans woman that was killed.
***
Muhlaysia Booker
Muhlaysia Booker was 23 years old. She was remembered as “such a beautiful spirit taken took soon” and as a woman who “lived her life and loved all of who she was.” She lived in Dallas, Texas. Brooker was courageous and did not tolerate violence. According to the Human Rights Campaign, Brooker was at a press conference and “courageously spoke out against the violence she experienced.” She had a passion for broadcast journalism and had “hoped to one day pursue a career in it” said Muhlaysia’s friend Jessica Anderson.
Michelle “Tamika” Washington.
Michelle “Tamika” Washington was 40 years old. She is remembered by loved ones as a “beloved sister and mother.” She lived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. According to ZORA, she “worked with the Office of LGBT Affairs to learn how she could mentor young Trans women using her own life experiences as her guide.” She connected with people through her humor and “loved being a prankster” said her friend Sharron L. Cook. She was a loving woman and “informally adopted those who needed guidance and was known to be a nurturing and caring individual.” She is remembered by her children as an amazing “gay mother,” which is a person who fosters people in the LGBTQ+ who were disowned by their families.
Paris Cameron
Paris Cameron was 20 years old. She lived in Detroit, Michigan. She was a beloved friend and according to her loved one she was “very sensitive, compassionate, protective, and loving.” She loved dancing, cooking, and cosmetology. According to ZORA, Paris loved voguing specifically the style called Dramatics. Her cousin Lemon Hudson remembers her as someone who “was more than a person—she was a star, and no one can ever take that away from her.”
Like Claire Legato, the media failed to represent these three women Muhlaysia Booker, Michelle “Tamika” Washington, and Paris Camreon by having many of their headlines not name them. Many articles only refer to Muhlaysia as “black trans woman that was killed.” Michelle just happens to be a “black transgender woman” that was shot, and Paris is grouped into a “homicide targeting the LGBTQ community.” Although this may not seem like a big deal it’s the small details that count and these women deserve more than to be grouped as an “unfortunate event.”

Comprendre l’informatique quantique – startups
Après voir fait le tour des solutions matérielles d’ordinateurs quantiques, je me propose ici de faire un tour d’horizon très large et presque exhaustif des startups de l’informatique quantique. La cartographie est relativement aisée car elles ne sont pas encore très nombreuses. Il y en a au plus environ 70 à l’échelle mondiale. On est loin des 5000 startups de l’univers du marketing !
Cet écosystème commence à peine à se structurer avant même que les ordinateurs quantiques fonctionnent à grande échelle ! Seuls les systèmes de cryptographie quantique sont opérationnels et correspondent à un marché bien à part. Il est fascinant de découvrir des startups qui font des paris à long terme, surtout dans le matériel. Dans le logiciel, le risque est atténué car nombre de startups créent des solutions pour les ordinateurs adiabatiques de D-Wave qui, même s’ils n’ont pas été commercialisés en volume, sont d’ores et déjà disponibles.
Les startups identifiées sont surtout américaines et européennes. L’écosystème logiciel est à observer de prêt. Il est prêt à dégainer lorsque le matériel fonctionnera.
Les investisseurs dans le quantique
Les premiers fonds d’investissements plus ou moins spécialisés dans les technologies quantiques ont déjà émergé avec notamment :
Quantum Wave Fund créé par des Russes dans la Silicon Valley et ayant déjà investi dans les Suisses d’IDQ ainsi que dans l’Américain Nano-Meta Technologies. Leur fonds n’est pas 100% spécialisé dans le quantique. Ils investissent aussi dans la robotique, les drones, les capteurs et les objets connectés.
Quantum Valley Investments (QVI), un fonds d’investissements canadien de $100M$, levés en 2013, dédié aux technologies quantiques. Leurs fondateurs avaient investi en 1984 dans Blackberry / RIM. Ils ne communiquent pas sur leurs investissements dont une part sont des spin-offs du laboratoire de recherche canadien Institute for Quantum Computing de l’Université de Waterloo dans l’Ontario.
Quantonation, un fonds d’amorçage français créé par Christophe Jurczak, un physicien issu de l’Ecole Normale et ancien chercheur ayant travaillé avec Alain Aspect avec Charles Beigbeder. Ils ont pour l’instant une seule société officiellement en portefeuille, Spark Lasers, qui propose des sources laser pas spécifiquement dédiées aux ordinateurs quantiques. D’autres projets sont en cours de “closing”.
Parkwalk Advisors est un fonds de deep techs britannique qui a notamment investi dans Quantum Motion Technologies et Oxford Quantum Circuits.
Machine Capital, un fonds britannique focalisé sur le quantique et sur l’IA, qui a pour l’instant investi dans QuantumX Incubator, un incubateur de projets logiciels quantiques lancé conjointement avec la startup Cambridge Quantum Computing, qui est spécialisée dans le développement de logiciels quantiques, avec une incubation qui dure 20 semaines.
Dans Federal Perspective on Quantum Information Science and Quantum Computing 2017 (33 slides), on peut aussi voir que l’activité s’intensifie dans le dépôt de brevets, surtout issus du privé.
Un inventaire des startups du secteur est disponible sur le site QuantumComputingReport. Il m’a permis d’identifier une majorité des startups citées dans cette partie. Certaines startups diffusent tellement peu d’informations à leur sujet que l’on peut se demander si elles ne sont pas des scams. Ce manque de communication peut simplement provenir du fait que les créateurs peuvent être des chercheurs non férus de communication, qu’ils sont mal financés et que leurs projets ont des perspectives business trop lointaines et hasardeuses.
Une bonne part des startups citées ici n’en sont pas encore sous la forme “pure” du modèle startupien, à savoir qu’elles sont loin d’avoir un modèle scalable. Ce sont souvent soit des TPE industrielles ciblant des marchés de niche à très faible volume, soit des startups où le risque scientifique et technologique est encore très élevé avant de pouvoir vendre quoi que ce soit. Et souvent, avec la combinaison des deux. Elles peuvent alors se financer avec des la recherche sous contrat pour de grandes entreprises ou des institutions publiques.
Dans la grande majorité des cas, je m’appuie sur les informations publiques disponibles sur Internet pour décrire ce que font ces startups. Sauf de rares cas que je signale, je n’ai pas d’information plus poussée.
Nous allons donc maintenant faire le tour des startup de l’informatique quantique avec trois parties : les composants, les ordinateurs quantiques et les logiciels, comprenant les outils de développement.
Cette cartographie recouvre en partie celle-ci, créé en juillet 2018 par le fonds français Siparex et l’accélérateur Wilco, et qui contient les startups européennes du secteur au sens large du terme (source). Sachant que j’ai cartographié à part, la partie suivante de cette série, les startups et acteurs de la cryptographie quantique et post-quantique. Ma cartographie ne comprend pas non plus les sociétés qui ont l’air de ne proposer que du service et du conseil dans l’informatique quantique, sans avoir de technologie en propre ou de produit.
Composants
Ces startups développent des composants physiques qui peuvent jouer un rôle dans la construction d’ordinateurs quantiques. Le plus souvent, comme ce marché reste cantonné à la recherche, ces startups sont plus généralistes et visent des marchés plus large que l’informatique quantique couvrant la recherche en physique en général voir des applications industrielles diverses.
bra-ket science (2017, Texas) est une startup qui veut créer des systèmes de stockage d’information dans des qubits fonctionnant à température ambiante. La société qui n’a que deux personnes est silencieuse sur sa technologie dont les brevets sont en cours de dépôt.
ColdQuanta (2007, USA, $6,8M) est une startup créé par Dana Anderson qui a une solution de refroidissement d’atomes à base de lasers. Cela peut servir à créer les conditions cryogéniques de fonctionnement de certains types d’ordinateurs quantiques ou à créer des systèmes d’horloges quantiques ultra-précises.
Delft Circuits (Pays-Bas) fournit des composants supraconducteurs divers qui peuvent rentrer dans la composition d’ordinateurs quantiques à supraconducteurs à effet Josephson. Ils proposent notamment des circuits de contrôle d’entrées/sorties de contrôle de systèmes cryogéniques comme le CF3 (ci-dessous), des guides supraconducteurs de micro-ondes supportant des fréquences allant de 2 à 40 GHz.
Element 6 (1946, Luxembourg) n’est pas à proprement parler une startup. C’est une filiale du leader mondial de la production de diamants, De Beers Group, qui fabrique entre autres choses des diamants synthétiques utilisables dans les qubits à base de cavités de diamants, un type de qubit très peu courant et qui n’a donné lieu pour l’instant qu’à une seule création de startup, QDTI.
Nano-Meta Technologies (2010, USA) est une startup issue de l’Université de Perdue qui ambitionne de créer un système de stockage d’information quantique. C’est en fait un laboratoire de recherche privé qui commercialise des travaux associant photonique et nanomatériaux sous forme de propriété intellectuelle et dans des domaines variés tels qu’un système de nano-délivrance de médicaments ou des sources de photons individuelles à base de diamants dédiées à des systèmes de cryptographie quantique. Certains de ses composants innovants peuvent se retrouver dans des ordinateurs quantiques.
Oxford Instruments (1959, UK) est une entreprise britannique établie, côté à Londres depuis 1999, qui est spécialisée dans l’instrumentation scientifique qui propose notamment des systèmes de cryogénie capables de descendre à 5 mK. Ils fournissent aussi des caméras CCD servant de détecteur de l’état de qubits à base d’ions piégés.
Qnami (2017, Suisse) est une spin-off du laboratoire de recherche en métrologie quantique de l’Université de Bâle. Ils produisent notamment des diamants artificiels destinés à diverses applications de photonique. Ils pourraient cibler le marché du calcul quantique mais cela n’a pas l’air d���être encore le cas.
Quandela (2017, France) est une startup basée à Marcoussis dans le sud de l’Ile de France, qui est spécialisé dans la création de sources de photons uniques destinées au monde de la recherche et des télécommunications. C’est une spin-off du laboratoire C2N du CNRS dont Pascale Senellart, chercheuse de référence dans la photonique, est cofondatrice et conseil scientifique. La startup était lauréate du grand prix du concours i-Lab 2018. Ses sources de photons peuvent servir dans la cryptographie quantique et, éventuellement, pour créer des ordinateurs quantiques à base d’optique linéaire ou autres techniques.
Qubitekk (2012, San Diego) est comme le Français Quandella un fournisseur de sources de photons et de photons intriqués utilisables dans le contexte de la cryptographie quantique (QKD). Cette technologie peut aussi servir pour gérer une partie de la communication entre qubits dans certains types d’ordinateurs quantiques.
QuTech (2014, Pays-Bas) est la spin off “hardware quantique” de l’Université TU Delft. Elle collabore notamment avec Intel dans la mise au point de qubits supraconducteurs et avec Microsoft dans le quantique topologique. La société se positionne plutôt comme un laboratoire de recherche appliquée que comme une startup “produit”.
SeeQC (1983, Italie) est une spin-off du groupe américain Hypres, spécialisé dans la création d’électronique supraconductrice. Elle se focalise dans la création de circuits de contrôle de qubits supraconducteurs dotés de mémoires à base de technologique spintronique (spin d’électrons).
Sparrow Quantum (2016, Danemark) est une spin-off du laboratoire de recherche en photonique Niels Bohr. Comme Quandella et Qubitek, ils proposent des sources de photons uniques.
SpiceLabs (Toronto) est une société spécialisée dans la création de systèmes de communication avec des qubits supraconducteurs. C’est complété par le logiciel QSPICE Design qui permet de concevoir des circuits quantiques supraconducteurs. Autant dire qu’il s’agit d’un marché ultra-niche. Voir The Geometry of a Quantum Circuit and its Impact on Electromagnetic Noise, 2018 (15 pages).
Enfin, sans rentrer dans les détails, citons à nouveau BlueFors Cryogenics (Finlande), Cryomech (USA), CryoConcept (France) et Janis (USA) qui sont spécialisés dans la production de systèmes de cryogénie utilisés pour les ordinateurs quantiques qui doivent fonctionner à de très basses températures, situées entre 10 et 20 mK.
Ordinateurs
Voici quelques PME et startups qui cherchent à créer des processeurs ou ordinateurs quantiques en plus de D-Wave, IonQ et Rigetti que nous avons déjà couverts en détail. Très souvent, ces entreprises s’affichent comme étant “full stack”, ce qui veut dire qu’elles ambitionnent de créer à la fois un ordinateur quantique et toute l’infrastructure logicielle qui l’accompagne. C’est souvent justifié pour les couches basses logicielles qui peuvent dépendre de l’architecture des qubits de l’ordinateur créé. Pour les couches plus hautes, notamment au niveau des frameworks de développement, ce n’est pas forcément bien vu. Il vaudrait mieux se raccrocher aux frameworks qui commencent à s’imposer ou à ceux d’entre eux qui sont open source et multi-plateformes. Dans d’autres cas, les startups ici citées en sont au stade de la recherche appliquée pour créer un processeur quantique. Elles sont généralement loin d’avoir créé une infrastructure logicielle.
Alpine Quantum Technologies (2017, Autriche, $12,3M) est une spin-off de l’Université d’Innsbruck créée par Rainer Blatt. Peter Zoller et Thomas Monz et qui se focalise sur les systèmes de qubits à base d’ions piégés, le premier d’entre eux en étant l’un des pionniers. Leur financement est pour l’instant d’origine publique, issu des équivalents autrichiens de notre Ministère de la Recherche et de l’ANR. La société n’a pas encore de site web ni de logo, c’est dire si elle est jeune !
Atom Computing (2018, USA) ambitionne de créer un ordinateur quantique à base d’atomes neutres contrôlés optiquement. C’est une technique que nous avons creusée très rapidement dans les parties précédentes. Elle semble bien marginale, tout du moins dans la sphère entrepreneuriale. Voici quelques éléments d’informations dans Neutral Atom Quantum Computing du Anderson Group Optical Physics ainsi que dans Quantum computing with neutral atoms, de David Weiss 2017 (7 pages).
BraneCell (2015, Cambridge Massachusetts et Dusseldorf, $1,8M) est une startup lancée par Wassim Estephan et Christopher Papile (ci-dessous). Elle développe un processeur quantique fonctionnant à température ambiante. Ses qubits utilisent un processus permettant de faire cohabiter un état condensé et non condensé de molécules, sans conduction électrique ni silicium, avec un procédé qui s’appuierait sur de la lumière infrarouge. Bref, ce n’est pas bien documenté. L’idée est de permettre d’exécuter des programmes quantiques de manière décentralisée et pas dans des data centers. L’approche est originale mais on demande à voir sur pièces !
Ils ont déposé quelques brevets sur la question notamment le brevet USPTO 9607271 validé en mars 2017 et dont voici la description : “The subject matter relates to multiple parallel ensembles of early stage spherical pulses radiated through engineered arrays forming the foundation for quantized computer processors taking advantage of integer thermodynamics. The materials, architecture and methods for constructing micro- and/or nano-scale three-dimensional cellular arrays, cellular series logic gates, and signature logic form the basis of small- and large-scale apparatuses used to execute logic, data bases, memory, mathematics, artificial intelligence, prime factorization, optical routing and artificial thought tasks not otherwise replicated in electron-based circuits”.
Leur communication est pour le moins cryptique, comme BraneCell Systems Presents Distributed Quantum Information Processing for Future Cities en avril 2018 et un partenariat annoncé avec le prestataire de services du gouvernement US, AST, en juillet 2018, dans AST and BraneCell Announce Their Partnership to Improve Critical Government Functions Through the Power of Quantum Computing. Ils ne fournissent aucune information technique ni de vulgarisation sur leur solution, sur le nombre de qubits et le taux d’erreurs. Ils planifieraient aussi une ICO qui serait la première du genre pour une startup de l’informatique quantique. Ils visent surtout à créer un système de communication sécurisé. Ils ciblent la finance, l’énergie, la santé, la chimie et le secteur public. Un Theranos du quantique ? Au minimum, on est en droit de douter.
EeroQ (2017, New York) développe un processeur quantique qui serait plus-mieux que les autres, sans plus de précision autre que cela s’appuie sur des principes connus de la physique. La startup est fondée par Johannes Pollanen de l’Université du Michigan, Nick Farina et Faye Wattleton. Elle a bénéficié de financements publics US (NSF) et privés. Leur site web est pourri avec une page “The Science” qui décrit les avantages basiques du calcul quantique mais aucunement les caractéristiques de leur solution. C’est du quantum washing du premier degré.
Dans la bio de Johannes Pollanen, on peut voir qu’il a fait des recherches dans les qubits supraconducteurs et bidimentionnels (silicium, graphène) qui font penser aux principes du quantique topologique. Ca donne quelques pistes de ce qu’ils doivent bien tramer !
MDR (2008, Japon) est une énigmatique société japonaise qui ambitionne de créer son propre ordinateur quantique universel et de développer des algorithmes intégrant l’IA et la chimie. En attendant leur ordinateur, ils travaillent avec D-Wave.
Oxford Quantum Circuits (2017, Oxford, UK) a été lancée par Peter Leek, qui provient du Clarendon Laboratory Oxford. Elle veut produire des qubits supraconducteurs et lever les barrières identifiées qui empêchent ceux-ci de scaler en nombre. Leur architecture comprendrait des qubits “planar” à grande cohérence avec un contrôle 3D miniaturisé des portes et de la lecture à base de résonnateurs. Cf Surface acoustic wave resonators in the quantum regime (40 slides). Ils sont associés à Cambridge Quantum Computing (CQC) qui développe un compilateur quantique dédié à leurs qubits.
PsiQuantum (2016, Palo Alto, California) est une startup créé par Jeremy O’Brien, un chercheur de Stanford et de Bristol, qui veut créer un processeur quantique en CMOS et photonique. Ses travaux de recherche sont nombreux dans le domaine, notamment dans les quantum dots en arséniure de gallium, dans les qubits en spin de diamant, la conception de systèmes cryogéniques et de systèmes de contrôle haute fréquence.
Quantum Motion Technologies (2017, UK) est une spin-off de l’Université d’Oxford qui ambitionne de créer une plateforme d’ordinateur quantique à base de silicium CMOS permettant de créer des puces avec une grande densité de qubits. Ils ont bénéficié d’un financement d’amorçage non précisé du fonds britannique Parkwalk Advisors.
QCI (2015, USA, $18M) ou Quantum Circuits Inc est une spin-off de l’Université de Yale cofondée par Rob Schoelkopf, Luigi Frunzio et le français Michel Devoret (ex CEA) qui veut créer des qubits supraconducteurs avec l’objectif, plus que courant dans le domaine, de résoudre les problèmes de bruit et de cohérence de cette technologie. Leur technologie est à base de qubits supraconducteurs transmon. Leur originalité se situerait dans la méthode de gestion des correction d’erreurs des qubits réduisant le besoin de redondances en nombre de qubits. Leur communication parle d’ordinateurs génériques faciles à reconfigurer selon les besoins. Ce qui semble être une caractéristique commune des ordinateurs quantiques universels.
QuSoft (2014, Pays-Bas) est la spin-off de l’Université TU Delft spécialisée dans les algorithmes et logiciels quantiques. Comme sa sister-company QuTech, c’est plutôt un laboratoire privé de recherche appliquée qu’une startup.
Silicon Quantum Computing (Australie, $66M) est une spinoff de l’University of New South Wales (UNSW) et de son laboratoire Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology (CQC2T). Ils planchent sur une technologie CMOS proche de celle du CEA LETI de Grenoble. A court terme, ils veulent sortir un circuit de 10 qubits d’ici 2022. La société a été créée par Michelle Simmons, une des rares femmes de l’écosystème entrepreneurial du quantique.
TundraSystems (2014, UK) développe un processeur quantique en optique linéaire fonctionnant à température ambiante. Difficile de savoir où ils en sont exactement. Ils ont l’air de vouloir créer un microprocesseur en photonique, et pas forcément, un ordinateur quantique avec des qubits utilisant l’optique linéaire.
Turing Inc (USA) est une startup qui ambitionne comme Rigetti de créer une offre matérielle et logicielle d’ordinateur quantique, à base de qubits utilisant des cavités de diamants (NV Centers) et fonctionnant à 4K, une température certes basse, mais gérable avec une cryogénie plus simple, à base d’hélium 4. Cf Turing Inc: Large Scale Universal Machines, 2017, qui détaille un peu cela. Ils développent aussi des systèmes de correction d’erreurs qu’ils commercialisent auprès d’autres spécialistes du secteur. Une manière de ne pas mettre tous ses œufs dans le même panier !
Xanadu (2016, Canada, $2,5M) développe un ordinateur quantique en optique linéaire avec un nombre de qubits non précisé et probablement très faible. L’ordinateur doit fonctionner théoriquement à température ambiante. Leurs qubits dénommés qumodes utilisent un encodage utilisant le principe de “Continuous Variable”, qui stocke une information plus riche que les qubits. Cela rappelle le CV-QKD, une variante des clés quantiques utilisant un principe voisin de communication utilisant la phase et l’amplitude des photons, dont nous parlerons dans la partie suivante de cette série, dédiée à la cybersécurité. Leur procédé est décrit dans Continuous-variable gate decomposition for the Bose-Hubbard model, 2018 (9 pages). Xanadu développe la plateforme logicielle qui va avec, dénommée Strawberry Fields et créée sans surprise en Python. Elle est documentée dans Strawberry Fields: A Software Platform for Photonic Quantum Computing, 2018 (25 pages). La plateforme comprend le langage Blackbird. Ils visent notamment le marché de la chimie, la théorie des graphes et le machine learning quantique. Tout cela est proposé en open source.
Logiciels et outils
Les startups de logiciels et d’outils de développement quantiques ne sont pas encore très nombreuses. Une bonne part d’entre elle travaille autour de D-Wave qui est le seul fournisseur d’ordinateurs quantiques commerciaux, même si ceux-ci ne sont pas des ordinateurs quantiques universels. Elles sont d’ailleurs souvent canadiennes, comme D-Wave. Cet écosystème est donc encore très jeune. Il évoluera en parallèle avec la mise au point d’ordinateurs quantiques commerciaux. Il y a de véritables opportunités à se positionner sur ce marché naissant ! Vous remarquerez que cet inventaire ne comprend pas de startup chinoise. Ce n’est probablement pas par hasard. Le pays n’est pas très versé dans le logiciel comparativement au matériel et il semble avoir mis la priorité quantique sur la cybersécurité plus que sur le calcul quantique.
1QBit (2012, Canada, $100M) est un éditeur de logiciels quantiques focalisé pour l’instant sur l’usage des ordinateurs adiabatiques de D-Wave. La société a été notamment financée par Fujitsu avec qui ils sont partenaires, ainsi qu’auprès d’Accenture et d’Allianz. Ils sont comme il se doit également partenaires de D-Wave qui les met bien en avant dans son marketing. Ils ont développé des briques algorithmiques quantiques diverses de bas niveau comme dans le traitement de graphes qu’ils appliquent dans un grand nombre de marché, via une activité de consulting. Ils couvrent notamment les marchés financiers, pour l’optimisation dynamique de portefeuille d’investissement, documentée dans Solving the Optimal Trading Trajectory Problem Using a Quantum Annealer, 2015 (13 pages), ou pour simplifier l’allocation de classes d’actifs dans un portefeuille. En plus d’être un partenaire historique de D-Wave, ils le sont aussi avec IBM.
Anyon Systems (2014, Canada) développe des outils de simulation du comportement d’ordinateurs quantiques supraconducteurs pour optimiser leur conception. Ils ont notamment aidé Google à mettre au point ses premiers prototypes d’ordinateurs quantiques supraconducteurs.
Artiste-qb.net (Canada) a un modèle d’activité voisin de celui de 1Qbit : ils développent des briques algorithmiques de niveau intermédiaires qu’ils assemblent ensuite au gré des besoins de leurs clients. Ils ont même déposé des brevets pour certaines méthodes. La startup a été créée par une équipe internationale comprenant notamment des chercheurs allemands.
Blackbrane.ai (2016, Canada) est une startup focalisée dans le développement de solutions de machine learning quantiques. Ils sont très “stealth” à ce stade.
Cambridge Quantum Computing Limited (UK) développe le système d’exploitation quantique (ti|ket>) et divers algorithmes quantiques dont Arrow dans le machine learning. Ils sont comme nous l’avons vu plus haut partenaires de Oxford Quantum Circuits qui travaille sur la partie hardware. Et aussi d’IBM. CQC est aussi actif dans la cryptographie post-quantique.
Entropica Labs (Singapour) est une startup dédiée à la création d’algorithmes quantiques pour les sciences du vivant et en particulier pour faire de la génomique, à base de quantum machine learning. Avec à la clé, le développement plus rapide de thérapies, en partenariat avec les boites de pharma. La société a été créée par Tommaso Demarie et Ewan Munro.
Everettian Technologies (2017, Canada) est une autre startup logicielle focalisée sur les usages du quantique dans le machine learning.
Heisenberg (2018, Allemagne) est une startup de Karlsruhe qui développe des algorithmes quantiques dans le domaine de la simulation moléculaire organique et inorganique. Ils ont annoncé en juillet un outil de portage open source de code ProjectQ (plateforme IBM) vers Cirq (plateforme Google).
Horizon Quantum Computing (2018, Singapour) créé des outils de développement quantiques, sans plus de précisions.
Nordic Quantum Computing Group (2004, Norvège) essaye de croiser l’analyse de données et l’informatique quantique. Ils ont travaillé pour Lockheed Martin Corporation. Ce sont aussi des spécialistes de l’IA. Mais bon, il n’est pas évident de savoir ce qu’ils font exactement, qui a l’air de beaucoup relever du service.
Prevision.io (2016, France, 1,5M€) est une startup spécialisée dans le machine learning. Ils ont développé une plateforme qui automatise le choix de modèles de machine learning pour exploiter des données structurées. Ils envisagent d’utiliser des algorithmes quantiques, notamment de QML (Quantum Machine Learning) pour compléter leur bibliothèque d’outils. Cela a du sens, d’autant plus que pour faire cela, la startup n’a pas besoin d’acquérir un ordinateur quantique ! On en trouve quelques-uns dans le cloud pour faire ses premiers tests. Le quantique, ce sera surtout du cloud computing !
ProteinQure (Canada) est une startup basée à Toronto qui utilise différentes technologies dont du calcul quantique pour créer et simuler de nouvelles thérapies “in silico”. Ils utilisent des algorithmes quantiques pour simuler le repliement de protéines.
QbitLogic (2014, USA, $1,5M) est une autre startup qui développe des applications de machine learning en quantique, sans plus de précision dans leur communication.
Q-Ctrl (2017, Australie) est une startup créée par Michael Biercuk, de l’Université de Sydney. Ils développent un firmware en cloud pour ordinateur quantique focalisé sur la gestion des codes de correction d’erreurs, Black Opal. Ils ont aussi un outil de visualisation de l’effet de la modification de l’état des qubits par des portes quantiques… dans la sphère de Bloch. Ils sont notamment partenaires d’IBM.
QC Ware (2014, USA) développe une plateforme de développement de logiciels quantiques en cloud. Ils créent des algorithmes quantiques et logiciels pour de grandes entreprises. L’une d’entre elles est le groupe Airbus qui fait partie de leurs investisseurs. Ils ciblent le marché aérospatial, la défense, la finance et la cybersécurité. Ils ont aussi reçu un financement public US de $1M via la NSF en 2017. Ils sont notamment partenaires d’IBM.
Qilimanjaro Quantum Hub (2018, Espagne) est une startup de Barcelone, donc plutôt Catalane ! Eux-aussi développent une plateforme logicielle quantique en cloud. Ils veulent aussi développer leur propre ordinateur quantique adiabatique à base de qubits de flux. Ils prévoient aussi de se faire financer via une ICO, les tokens associés étant le QBIT, une cryptomonnaie d’usage de leurs ressources en cloud. Qui n’existent pas encore !
Quantum Benchmark Inc (2017, Canada) fournit une solution logicielle de code de correction d’erreurs pour ordinateurs quantiques universels. C’est donc en apparence un concurrent de l’Australien Q-Ctrl. Ils proposent aussi un système de validation de performance d’ordinateur quantique. L’ensemble est intégré dans la suite True-Q. Le marché visé n’est pas bien large puisque c’est celui des constructeurs d’ordinateurs quantiques et ceux qui les évaluent. A noter qu’ils ont déjà testé le framework Cirq de Google, ayant fait partie du programme de beta test de ce langage de Google. Ils sont aussi partenaires d’IBM.
Qubitera (2018, USA) développe des solutions associant IA et quantique. N’a pu qu’à !
QxBranch (2014, USA) a été créé par des anciens de Lockheed Martin. Elle propose des solutions, probablement sur mesure, pour les marchés de la finance, de l’assurance, de l’aérospatial et de la cybersécurité. Basé à Washington, D.C., ils ont déjà des bureaux à Hong Kong, Londres et Adelaide en Australie. Ils sont partenaires de D-Wave et d’IBM.
River Lane Research (2016, UK) est une spin-off de l’Université de Cambridge qui fournit du service dans l’informatique quantique et développe de nouveaux algorithmes associant machine learning et le quantique dans le domaine de la chimie. Ils développent avec dividiti Ltd (un one man shop créé par un certain Grigori Fursin), le Quantum Collective Knowledge, un SDK de benchmark de matériels et logiciels quantiques.
Strangeworks (2018, USA, $4M) développe des logiciels quantiques. De manière pas spécialement originale, ils ciblent les marchés de l’aérospatial, de l’énergie, de la finance et de la santé. Ils sont notamment partenaires d’IBM. Ils sont notamment à l’origine de la création d’un site de questions/réponses sur l’informatique quantique, Quantum Computing Stack Exchange.
Tokyo Quantum Computing (2017, Tokyo) veut développer un logiciel de simulation d’ordinateur à recuit quantique.
Zapata Computing (2017, USA) est une société de logiciels et services quantiques créé par des chercheurs de Harvard dont le fameux Alán Aspuru-Guzik de l’Université de Toronto qui est spécialisé dans les applications du quantique dans la chimie. Ils sont notamment partenaires de Google et IBM.
Voilà, ce petit tour est terminé. Si vous découvrez des startups du calcul quantique qui ne figurent pas dans cet inventaire ou disposez d’informations complémentaires sur celles qui sont citées, je suis preneur ! J’utiliserai vos informations pour actualiser cette liste au fil de l’eau.
