nqo.sg/talent-develop… You can now apply to the department of Computer Science at nus for a fully funded masters by research program in quantum computing. Please help spread the word.

✨ Our next QIP 2026 tutorial speaker is André Chailloux from @Inria Paris! 🔗 Learn more about tutorial speakers: qip2026.lu.lv/en/programme/t…

Are you a PhD student in quantum computing and interested in working with our team in 2026 as a student researcher (i.e., an internship that's ~3 months and in-person at our office)? If so, apply here: google.com/about/careers/…

I just wrote a new blog post, in which I present a complexity-theoretic conjecture that is (IMO) really interesting. As I'll explain below, I think the conjecture could be compelling to theoretical computer scientists, philosophers of mathematics, and technical AI safety people!

I have an opening for 3 ERC-funded postdoc positions in my group at SNS in Pisa. If you are fascinated by quantum resources, entanglement, and quantum Shannon theory, don’t hesitate to apply! Starting date ~Sept 2025, salary ~2,800 euros/month. Details below:

A neat framework for analyzing learning algorithms based on sub-sampling the training data, with applications in boosting! arxiv.org/abs/2402.02976 Accepted at ALT25 🥳

One of the best ways to spend your quantum summer, highly recommended!

Highly recommended! Free PDF book: "High-Dimensional Probability: An Introduction with Applications in Data Science" by Vershynin with 41 very nice hand-written notes and videos and homework which explains most contents of the book: math.uci.edu/~rvershyn/teac…

New paper with Prabhanjan, Aditya, and Yao-Ting from UCSB! TLDR: You can stretch quantum randomness with a little bit of additional classical randomness, and lots of new tools for analyzing random unitaries! arxiv.org/abs/2410.19320

@huckbennett @NoahSD That's super awesome!

New work with Sasha Golovnev and @noahsd: "Difficulties Constructing Lattices with Exponential Kissing Number from Codes" (arxiv.org/abs/2410.16660). 1/

I am offering a 4 year PhD position to work on quantum algorithms for many-body problems, to stat in Winter of 2025. Please do forward the announcement to potentially interested candidates! ift.uam-csic.es/en/jobs/phd-po…

Tuesday and Wednesday this week: LucaFest@Simons simons.berkeley.edu/workshops/luca… #RememberingLuca

@markwilde @quantum_graeme @MvsCerezo @kunalsharmaq @qZoeHolmes @afhamash @NSF I was there. It was indeed a legend.

@quantum_graeme Here is my entry from QIP 2022 Pasadena: youtube.com/watch?v=_TsDhs… Possibly the best contributed talk I ever made at QIP. Warm thanks to my collaborators @MvsCerezo, @kunalsharmaq, @qZoeHolmes, @afhamash and the @NSF for supporting my research.

They always be like this.. #science
