Quantum Roundabout is back! Join us on 9-11 September 2026 at @UoNMaths, @UniofNottingham Quantum Roundabout is a postgraduate conference for early career researchers in quantum science, previously held in 2014-2018. Read more and apply to attend at quantumroundabout.wordpress.com

Two new @UoNMaths preprints this week: - Quantum Limits of Passive Optical Surface Metrology and Defect Detection scirate.com/arxiv/2603.107… - Optimal Discrimination of Gaussian States by Gaussian Measurements scirate.com/arxiv/2603.121… To be presented in Japan 2026.quantumresources.science

The Fellows of the Academy for the Mathematical Sciences have been recognised for being leaders in their fields, through fundamental discoveries, exceptional work in education, or driving the application of mathematics across society as part of critical national infrastructure.

When digital models are used to simulate patients or machines one by one, the cost of running large virtual trials quickly becomes impractical. To address this scalability challenge, researchers proposed and evaluated a digital twin cohort framework built on interconnected rather than isolated models. They introduced cohort-level learning strategies that transfer information across members, relying on shared latent representations or learned discrepancies between models. In two cardiac digital twin case studies, this approach reduced computational burden by more than 50% while also improving emulator accuracy, even for relatively small cohorts. A more cost-efficient way to link digital twins could allow patients to benefit from virtual testing of multiple care options that would otherwise be too costly to run in comprehensive trials today.

@alexhrbfc Hi Alex, sorry this is fairly late but we currently don't have any formal recommendations for our students.

@UoNMaths What type of laptop do you recommend for Maths students? Child A has suddenly said they would like a 2 in 1 so they can use it with a pen for making notes during lectures.

🧵[1/4] 🎓Young people across the country are confirming their university plans while new graduates are taking steps into the workplace. 🛣️Our universities invest a lot into making sure students develop a wide range of skills to set them up a for a multitude of career journeys.

Scientists from @UoNMaths @UoN_Physics have created a 'universe in a box' where they simulate black holes to study phenomena we cannot directly observe Watch the @newscientist video here ⬇️ youtube.com/watch?v=pecqsj…
