Come work with us! We're advertising a PhD position in quantum key distribution, in Gláucia Murta's Quantum Foundations and Cryptography group, with Elizabeth Agudelo's Theoretical Quantum Optics group. See here for details quantiki.org/position/phd-p…

Congrats to QuIT PhD student Julius Bittermann on successfully defending his thesis and passing his viva!

Beautiful new work led by @MathsMire and the @quit_physics gang, getting to the heart of the question driving the ASPECTS project: what is the thermodynamic cost of precision? It turns out: with the right quantum system, not that much! 🧵⬇️

Congrats to QuITter Tom Rivlin on being awarded an FWF ESPRIT award! He'll be extending his work with us on the thermodynamics of measurements and isolated systems, including cool new work on quasiprobabilities 🥳🥳 fwf.ac.at/forschungsrada…

Time for a new preprint! QuITter Florian @MathsMire joins a team of many frequent QuIT collaborators (including @QTD_Basel, @landi_qt2, @highfae_, @MarkMitchison) to extend their work on clocks to consider the problem of optimal time estimation arxiv.org/abs/2406.19450

Physicist Maximilian Lock: Maxwell-Boltzmann velocity distribution for ideal gases arises from a lack of perfect microscopic knowledge. With complete particle information, we could observe deviations from the predicted distribution at specific moments. qspace.fqxi.org/videos/308/max…

When does the indeterminate become determinate? qspace.fqxi.org/videos/308/max… Maximilian Lock asks how one rigorously delineates which parts of an experiment should be modelled unitarily versus projectionally?

New preprint from QuITters Debarba, Huber, and Friis! Here they show how well quantum systems can 'broadcast' information to their surroundings when the environment is messy and thermal, and how classicality is recovered via coarse-graining in this setup arxiv.org/abs/2403.07660

Quantenverschränkung funktioniert auch, wenn sich die Schwerkraft ändert. TU Wien und ÖAW führten Experimente in Schwerelosigkeit durch. Dabei zeigte sich: Die untersuchten Quantensysteme sind bemerkenswert stabil. tuwien.at/tu-wien/aktuel…

😍 Amazing! Well done to QuITters Meier, Schwarzhans, Erker, and Huber!

#3 IN OUR TOP 5 PHYSICS STORIES OF 2023... Perfect clocks are impossible. @Entanarchist Listen to part three of our podcast series with Zeeya Merali and Ian Durham for all the details. qspace.fqxi.org/podcasts/119/

(1/n) Introducing 🥁... the autonomous quantum processing unit! Our proposal for a thermodynamically self consistent model of quantum computation which we hope will serve as a framework to examine the physics of computation and complexity. scirate.com/arxiv/2402.001…

Wir gratulieren Elizabeth Agudelo zu ihrem Elise-Richter-Stipendium! Die Quantenphysikerin wird sich mit komplexen Strategien befassen, Quanten-Verschränkungen technisch nutzbar zu machen. tuwien.at/tu-wien/aktuel…

Massive massive congratulations to QuIT superstar Dr. Elizabeth Agudelo for getting approval for the Austrian Science Fund's Elisa Richter Program! 🤩 May she be stuck with us for many years to come ❤️ #ElisaForEliza #QuITtersNeverQuit

Measurement problem? Call your friendly neighborhood quantum thermodynamicist! Introducing guest blogger Tom Rivlin from TU Wien on Quantum Frontiers @IQIM_Caltech. @Entanarchist quantumfrontiers.com/2023/09/10/can…

Awesome invited talk @qtd2023 from @ASPECTS_quantum PI Simone Gasparinetti, telling us about autonomous qubit reset using a quantum absorption refrigerator with his superconducting qubit platform 🤩 arxiv.org/abs/2305.16710

It's finally time for QTD2023! We've been working hard to bring this together, and we're delighted to finally get to welcome so many quantum thermodynamicists to Vienna, and TU Wien's beautiful Kuppelsaal 🤩

9 day left to register and join us and the quantum thermodynamics community in Vienna this July! qtd2023.conf.tuwien.ac.at
