Roee Ozeri

AI changed software. Quantum Computing 🚩 could change reality itself. At the @Wix Engineering Conference 2026, Prof. @ozeri_roee broke down why the race for quantum machines matters far beyond academia - from cybersecurity to global 🌎 power shifts. From breaking modern encryption to solving problems impossible for today’s supercomputers, quantum computing is becoming one of the most important technological races on the planet. This is a must-watch introduction to the world of quantum computing. Watch:

The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism: Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment? The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth. Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again. In short, they said: It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews. This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress, certainly on the topic of genocide, which to remind us all is: “the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group” The presidents’ answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership. Don’t take my word for it. You must watch the following three minutes. By the end, you will be where I am. They must all resign in disgrace. If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour. Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world? Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context. To think that these are the leaders of Ivy League institutions that are charged with the responsibility to educate our best and brightest. On the bright side, our congressional leaders deserve accolades for showing tremendous leadership and moral clarity in their statements, by the questions they asked, and the respectfulness with which they conducted the hearing. It was a masterclass of how our government and democracy should operate. If you have time, please watch the entire hearing. Throughout the hearing, the three behaved like hostile witnesses, exhibiting a profound disdain for the Congress with their smiles and smirks, and their outright refusal to answer basic questions with a yes or no answer.

Thank you, @IJasonAlexander, for lending your voice on behalf of Israeli hostages held in #Gaza by Hamas terrorists. #BringThemHome

Many many years ago, I learnt Hebrew out of curiosity, and in a bid to penetrate into a world that I once thought was evil and conspiring against Arabs and Muslims. Once in, I was surprised how wrong I was, how wrong almost every Arab and Muslim around me was. These days, I watch Hebrew networks (and Arabic ones). There is a lot of Israeli pain over those who were killed on 10/7, agony of those who survived, and anxiety over those who are held hostage by Hamas. A lot of tears, now mixing with tears over fallen soldiers fighting in Gaza. The thing about all this Israeli pain is that it is almost exclusively in Hebrew. The world does not see Israelis hurt, does not hear them cry. The world sees Israel as fighter jets raining death to punish those who killed them from 15000 feet above ground. The world only sees and hears pain coming from Gaza, and the world always takes the side of the underdog, even when the underdog is guilty. One billion Muslims certainly have a much louder voice than 20 million Jews, and the world will always blame Israel, even when Palestinians started the carnage. And that's exactly why Israelis are fighting the fight of their lives. They understand that the world is an unfair place, and that they cannot rely on non-existent international justice or biased global opinion. I wish I had a magic wand to make fellow Arabs, and the rest of the world, see what I see. There will never be peace without justice, and using our numbers (Muslims) to impose our narrative is one way to try to beat Israel, but not the way to peace. My voice will dissent. I want peace, and peace is incumbent on winning the trust of those we want to live in peace with, not keeping on instigating the world against them.

If you are still not convinced that we are fighting dark Jihadists who make the middle ages look like a humanitarian paradise. Watch this video

Every red dot stands for a settlement in Israel which had at least 1 murdered victim in the Hamas Oct 7th massacre. It can give you a sense of the scale of this singular event from an Israel lens.

Trapped-ion qubits are amazing! In our manuscript we propose a new, realistic, scalable architecture for quantum computing with trapped-ions using a combination of rf traps and optical potentials. Very exciting! arxiv.org/pdf/2311.01168…

If you tolerate this then your children will be next

“Everyone knew it when Marcel entered a room – she was a small woman with a huge presence”: Dr. Marcel Frailich Kaplun, who was murdered by Hamas terrorists on her kibbutz, was a passionate educator and a beloved figure at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Her colleagues bid her farewell >> bit.ly/Marcel-wis #WIS_stand_together

humanity back to the middle ages. The primary victims of these Jihadists are the Palestinians themselves. Hamas killed and deprived freedom from millions of Palestinians in the cruelest ways possible. This is a fight between darkness and light. Light will prevail.

Make no mistake, this is not another skirmish between Israelis and Palestinians. Neither is it a fight between Jews and Arabs. This is the struggle between a society that lives by the values of enlightenment, progress and knowledge and Jihadi murderers that are trying to drag

@WeizmannScience These are difficult days in Israel. We at the Weizmann Institute will help re-build all that was lost. The power of science, the values of enlightenment will overcome the darkness of jihadi murderers.

“Today, we urge each and every one of you to stand with us against terrorism. Just as we seek truth and understanding in science, so too must we seek truth in the world we inhabit. The power of the scientific community is immense, and our voices can resonate far beyond the walls of our laboratories. The recent events have shaken us to the core. But they have also reminded us of the importance of our collective power and action, and the impact we can have on the world. We must recognize that, as scientists, our words carry weight and our public statements have the power to influence opinions, policies, and, ultimately, the course of history. In the face of darkness, let our voices be the guiding light.” This letter, titled “Standing Together Against Terror and Violence”, was sent today from the Weizmann Institute of Science Management to the international science community.

My brother's wife and three children 10, 8 and 4 were taken from their home by Hamas. We want them safely back with us.

@PascalWeckesser Hi Pascal, thanks a lot for the great description of our work on your news and views!

Great results from the group of @ozeri_roee at Weizmann Institute! In their work they present a novel atom-ion bound state arising through the difference in trapping potentials. It was a pleasure to write the accompanying News and Views article! nature.com/articles/s4156…
