When you are bored, you do silly things. Today I discovered that on quant-ph, I am a coauthor with 18 people who are in turn coauthors with 295 more people.
O brave new quantum world!
When you are bored, you do silly things. Today I discovered that on quant-ph, I am a coauthor with 18 people who are in turn coauthors with 295 more people.
How’d you figure out the second number? Did you just search on author name, and count them all up?
Oddly enough, when I saw your number of 18, I thought “There’s no way I have that many coauthors”, did a count, and got 43. Geez. I’d forgotten how many large multi-author papers I’ve been on. I’m still yet to meet a few of my coauthors.
Like I said, I was bored. So I made an initial list and then listed all of these coauthors and then eliminated redundancies.
