Kurt Vonnegut is trending at #ICE9! @GIQ_BCN's John Calsamiglia is opening the morning session of ICE-9 today taking about hypothesis testing

Do we live in a multiverse? A new study used a #quantum mechanics framework to demonstrate how multiple universes could exist — possibly as many isolated quantum realities that are imperceptible in our classical experience of the universe. 🔗 go.aps.org/3YF6AAx

Missed the QIP deadline? Don't fret. You still have two weeks to submit your work to the Quantum Resources workshop, taking place in Korea next March!

As a kid, were you fascinated by fractals, went on to study science, but ended up doing "only" information theory or quantum physics? Rejoice, here is our communication-capacity-fractal-dimension crossover (improved v2)! arxiv.org/abs/2402.09117 @TU_Muenchen @ias_tum

oh my there's a federal anti-trust lawsuit again 6 publishers (Elsevier, Wiley and others) for collusion. lieffcabraser.com/antitrust/acad…

Preprint uploaded. We prove the generalized quantum Stein’s lemma and the 2nd law of resource theories, both static and dynamical. Grateful for the scientific feedback last time and hoping constructive reactions again. Joint work with Masahito Hayashi. arxiv.org/abs/2408.02722

Just announced at #QTD24: the next Quantum Thermodynamics conference will take place in Singapore, 14-18 July 2025. Organizers Dario Poletti (chair), @AlexiaAuffeves, @NellyNgHY, Mile Gu, Manas Mukherjee and myself. Mark the dates.

Fifteen years minus one day between these photos. Taken at the Rhone glacier in Switzerland today. Not gonna lie, it made me cry.

Beyond IID in Information Theory is currently held at UIUC, but already things are being put in place for next year's edition, at Institute for Advanced Study (Technical University of Munich) #BeyondIID13 #BIID13 #BeyondIID12 #BIID12 @TU_Muenchen @ias_tum

Ben Schumacher delivering a fantastic public lecture about his early discoveries in quantum information theory at #BeyondIID #BeyondIID12 #BIID #BIID12

♥️

It’s probably ok as long as the pioneering work of Smolin, Smith and Vargo on factoring integers with a single qubit (or even cbit) is referenced properly… doi.org/10.1038/nature…

Confessions of a quantum physicist...

At ICMP 2024, this year's Henri Poincaré Prize has been awarded to David Brydges, Alexei Kitaev, Antti Kupiainen, and Scott Sheffield. Congratulations to all! I am excited and proud of this marvelous selection as a member of the selection committee. #ICMP2024

Breaking News from ISIT: The Shannon award goes to @PeterShor1!

arxiv.org/abs/2407.02612 Finally out, "Women for Quantum - Manifesto of Values" by more than 30 women in quantum science, including Anna Sanpera from @GIQ_BCN and Verónica Ahufinger from the Optics Group @UABBarcelona #w4q #womenforquantum #quantumphysics

🚨 Big news on arXiv! 🚨 Over 30 female Quantum Professors have united to release a powerful Manifesto of Values. They reflect on gender issues in quantum physics and call for change with a clear set of values. Let's support and amplify their voices! #WomenInSTEM #QuantumPhysics
