Arthur Pesah's personal blog at arthurpesah.me covers science and math. Since 2022, 4 different Hacker News readers have linked it 5 times, most often “An interactive introduction to the surface code”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-07-22, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
One commenter links his blog and says the surface code post is hard to follow without deep quantum background, while his earlier quantum computing posts are much better. Otherwise, the comments do not discuss the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
I am well aware of quantum error correction, but there is quite a lot about surface codes that I don't understand. I would estimate there are about a couple of thousand people at most who can, without any other resources, make an accurate technical summary of the essential concepts in this post. I think if people understand quantum computing a little bit, then his earlier posts are much better https://arthurpesah.me…
