PhD positions available in my new group @UMontreal ! If you want to work on on quantum information and/or quantum foundations, apply by 13 Jan here: quantiki.org/position/phd-p… For quantum machine learning, see previous post.

Looking for motivated PhD students to join my new group at Université de Montréal / Mila! If you’re specifically interested in quantum machine learning, please apply by 1 December 2024 through the Mila website. For quantum info/foundations see next post.

It has been a pleasure to organise Causalworlds 2024 @Perimeter! The conference brought together experts in causality, ranging from causal structure in quantum computation and spacetime physics to causal inference for healthcare. Looking forward to the 2026 edition in Grenoble!

Registration and financial assistant applications are now open for the Causalworlds conference I’m co-organising on quantum, classical and relativistic causality! Register early to avoid disappointment!

Excited to announce our conference Causalworlds 2024, to be held @Perimeter Institute, Canada, 16-20 Sept, spanning causal inference, indefinite causal order and causality in quantum and relativistic physics. Submissions are now open until 24 May: causalworlds.ca

@markwilde Oh yes indeed, I will!

@Hljesi @UMontreal @Mila_Quebec Congrats! that's nearby Ithaca. please be in touch

Very happy to share that I will be starting a position as Assistant Professor (tenure-track) and Group Leader @UMontreal and @Mila_Quebec at the end of the year! I would like thank all my supervisors, colleagues and friends who have supported me through this academic journey!

Excited to share the first paper from joint work during my postdoc at @UniOfTokyo! We present a universal algorithm for linear transformations of Hamiltonian dynamics, even when only given as a black box - an example of quantum functional programming arxiv.org/pdf/2303.09788…

Looking forward to giving an online talk today at the Causalworlds conference @ETHQuantumCntr on the possibility of realising indefinite causal order and its application in quantum computation.

Excited to announced our new arXiv preprint ‘Quantum gravity as a communication resource’ arxiv.org/abs/2203.05861 We show how a black hole in a superposition of states leads to an interference of gravitational processes, counteracting the expected entanglement degradation nearby
