Yup, this one Focks you up.

Richard Feynman's mentor at Princeton University, and notable contributor to his development of quantum electrodynamics.

Worked with Niels Bohr at one point.

Web of Stories interview (1996): www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVV0r6CmEsFzVlqiUh95Q881umWUPjQbB. He's a bit slow, you wonder if he's going to continute or not! One wonders if it is because of age, or he's always been like that.

This is the one Ciro Santilli envies the most, because he has such a great overlap with Ciro's interests, e.g.:

Surprisingly, it can also become a superfluid even though each atom is a fermion! This is because of Cooper pair formation, just like in superconductors, but the transition happens at lower temperatures than superfluid helium-4, which is a boson.

aps.org/publications/apsnews/202110/history.cfm: October 1972: Publication of Discovery of Superfluid Helium-3 contains comments on the seminal paper and a graph which we must steal.

Good points:

This is what happens when you apply a step voltage to a series RC circuit: TODO $I(t)$ graph.

In this chapter Richard Feynman talks about his experiences in Brazil.

"O Americano, Outra Vez!" means "The American, once again!" in Portuguese, which is what one of the samba school boss exclaimed when Feynman was not playing well his instrument, the frigideira, during a rehearsal.

Feynman really enjoyed Brazil's (and notably Rio's) stereotypical "take it easy and enjoy life" attitude.

This is a pain point as of SVG 1.1...

Examples at svg/background.html which answers from stackoverflow.com/questions/11293026/default-background-color-of-svg-root-element/11293812:

This pain reflects directly on Inkscape: set SVG background color in Inkscape.

This is a good read: quantumai.google/hardware/datasheet/weber.pdf May 14, 2021. Their topology is so weird, not just a rectangle, one wonders why! You get different error rates in different qubits, it's mad.

Forms a normal subgroup of the general linear group.

Unsurprisingly the term "computer" became a synonym for this from the 1960s onwards!
