New preprint: Speeding up classical simulation of Harrow-Hassidim-Lloyd #QuantumAlgorithm for solving #LinearSystems. arxiv.org/abs/2604.25148

New paper: Quantum speed limit for observables from quantum asymmetry @PhysRevA journals.aps.org/pra/abstract/1…

Thrilled to see Monty Yates presenting “Fluids on the #BlochSphere: #QuantumAlgorithms for Solving PDEs on #NISQ” at the @UMBC Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement Day (URCAD)! Looking forward to seeing where this project goes 👀

Think that error-dectecting codes don't work on a current #Quantumcomputer? Think again! Beyond break-even error supression using the Iceberg code demonstrated in this project for KBR. arxiv.org/abs/2604.13219

Congrats to QSI Graduate Fellow @ReeceJRobertson for winning UMBC's 3MT competition today! Next stop, Regionals! gears.umbc.edu/3mt/

Quantum on track: @UMBC (USA) and IITiS (PL) researchers demonstrate feasibility of using quantum devices to manage urban train scheduling, using a Baltimore transit line as a model umbc.edu/stories/quantu… Supported by @MNiSW_GOV__PL with @quthermo_comp

Train scheduling goes quantum feat. Dr. Emery Doucet and Reece Robertson: nature.com/articles/s4159… youtube.com/watch?v=xWKRhI…

What are NISQ computers good for? Well, possibly many things. But definitely for the preparation of Gibbs states: arxiv.org/abs/2603.03801

New paper on #QuantumComputing emulation just posted to @IEEEXplore! I was thrilled to share this work at the @IEEEorg #CASCON2025 conference last November. The project @github was awarded an IEEE Research Object Reviewed Badge. ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/11344…

Does it matter thermodynamically how to code your algorithm? On quantum annealers it matters a lot: arxiv.org/abs/2601.04402 with Emery Doucet, @moorishqubit , Bartłomiej Gardas, @quthermo_comp and @optipubtrans

Two new @KBRincorporated conference proceedings from @IEEEorg NAECON 2025 demonstrate the effectiveness of trapped-ion #QuantumComputing for solving job shop sheduling problems (ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/11235…) and for running the Iceberg error detecting code (ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/11235…).

End of semester lunch celebration for QSI Grad Fellows and friends Allioune, Sandra, Maggie, @ReeceJRobertson , Sanzida, and Alex. Two QSI Grad Fellow colloquia and several published papers ....what a great semester!
