Manuel Rudolph

I am so, so happy to see this article published as a perspective in Nature Communications: nature.com/articles/s4146… More than the paper itself, I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with all my co-authors on the implications of the absence of BPs ~ classical simulability connection

Welcoming summer the best way we know how: with pasta, physics, and a phenomenal team 🍝⚛️ A warm #Google #Quantum #AI welcome to Manuel Rudolph, who’s joining us this summer! 🎉 We’re thrilled to have his sharp mind and curious spirit with us Thx Nikita+team for organizing

Had some great time welcoming our student researcher @QuantumManuel at @GoogleQuantumAI . He will be designing our new beyond-classical applications!

This paper was meant to go live yesterday (still love you arXiv), but who doesn't scroll social media on a holiday 💁 Thanks to my amazing group and co-authors @TysonRayJones, Yanting Teng, @acl_angrisani, and @qZoeHolmes!

Pauli propagation is naturally interfaced with both quantum computers and other classical simulation methods - the perfect team player! I love improving classical algorithms for simulating quantum computations, and I believe performant classical methods are good for everyone.

❗New paper and open-source library❗ PauliPropagation.jl is your go-to library for simulating quantum circuits via Pauli propagation. Our paper provides a thorough overview of this new classical simulation method. Paper: scirate.com/arxiv/2505.216… Library: github.com/MSRudolph/Paul…

@PennyLaneAI Hey! Thanks for highlighting our work again 🙏 You might enjoy our high-performance library that we published since then: github.com/MSRudolph/Paul… Would be great to interface with Python!

In case you missed it: Simulation isn’t always necessary! 👀 In this PennyLane demo based on the work of Angrisani et al., learn how to estimate expectation values classically, with no quantum device required. 🔗👇

🚀UnitaryHACK 2025 has begun - and we are part of it! If you are registered, earn real money by closing GitHub issues in our new library PauliPropagation.jl (github.com/MSRudolph/Paul…). We were supposed to have a "compact" paper out today, but the arXiv gods were not with us.

@QuantumMemeing From Henry Legg's talk

can someone at APS post updates on the Microsoft topological qubit claims? <3

New paper on arxiv 🔥We present a unifying characterization of “patches” in BP landscapes with substantial gradients for a broad family of circuits including physically motivated ansatz that could not be analyzed before ! scirate.com/arxiv/2502.078…

It should be considered disrespectful to waste everyone's time by giving a talk that is super difficult to follow and basically unintelligible to anyone in the room who doesn't work on the exact topic being discussed. There is a perverse incentive to deliver unintelligible talks because the audience just assumes the speaker is too smart to deliver the talk in any other way and often believes they themselves aren't smart enough to follow. Moreover, this format shields the speaker from having to answer any thoughtful questions at the end of their talk because only those who already understood everything could follow along. Over the last three years, I've probably attended over 100 hep-th talks, and this is a chronic issue. Everyone in the room has the intellectual capacity and background to understand what the speaker is saying if only the speaker would actually deliver their talk at an appropriate level.

Just released two papers on classical simulation of quantum circuits with arbitrary local noise! Huge thanks to my collaborators Victor Martinez, @QuAntonioMele, @QuantumManuel, Ekaterina Pankovets, Omar Fawzi, @MvsCerezo, @dsfranca & @qZoeHolmes! 🧵👇

Another amazing paper from our Summer School student @QuAntonioMele (is that 3 papers already form the school?!), and from our collaboration with the power house that are @acl_angrisani and @QuantumManuel from @qZoeHolmes 's incredible group. arxiv.org/abs/2501.13101

@QuantumManuel Check out the open-source library at github.com/MSRudolph/Paul…!

Submit to our special issue of IOP QS&T! We’re broadly after: 🔎 Careful non-hyped analyses on the state of Variational Quantum Computing (benchmarks, resource analyses etc) & ☀️ Big new (maybe half-baked!) ideas about how to combine quantum and variational components
