We should celebrate the courage to have some echos of the fun we have doing science in our work and not let bureaucrats paint everything we do in an insufferable shade of gray for the sake of 'formality'.

Avi Wigderson gave a truly inspiring talk yesterday at Cambridge Computer Science about the value of errors in proofs. The video will be posted shortly on the Cambridge Algorithms and Complexity Workshop webpage.

'This gives a polynomial time quantum algorithm for solving LWE.'
Is this real?

For the Tim Gowers 60th Workshop (newton.ac.uk/event/ooew04/) I gave a talk (youtu.be/AOqwetaRAUE) about reversible circuits, cryptography, derandomization, expanders, quantum, black holes...& do check out the other 23 talks on combinatorics, probability, analysis, complexity...!

Umesh Vazarani kicks off the 'Quantum Complexity: Quantum PCP, Area Laws, and Quantum Gravity' workshop at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing. Talks will be recorded and available at simons.berkeley.edu/workshops/quan…. I'll be around all week, come say hi!

We live in such strange times. Apple, a company famous for its secrecy, published a paper with staggering amount of details on their multimodal foundation model. Those who are supposed to be open are now wayyy less than Apple.

MM1 is a treasure trove of analysis. They discuss…

(1/3) XPRIZE CTO & EVP, Deep Tech Jim Mainard joined Ryan Babbush (Head of Quantum Algorithms, Google) and Brigitte Hoyer Gosselink (Director, Product Impact, Google.org) at the @APSPhysics March Meeting in Minneapolis, MN to promote XPRIZE #QuantumAlgorithms .

Posted today, our paper contains a surprising twist. The complex conjugate of a quantum state can provide exponential advantages in learning. The learning task we look at is motivated from bosonic physics. Check it out:

With Jarrod McClean and Kianna Wan.

Tomorrow, the 'Quantum Leap into the Future: Exploring the Synergy of Quantum & AI' French Tech Amsterdam x Quantum.Amsterdam event takes place at Startup Village. Speakers are a.o. Iordanis Kerenidis (QC Ware, CNRS 🌍) and QuSoft's Amira Abbas. See: quantum.amsterdam

This work blew my mind in a number of ways! The inference technique at the core of this work is both surprising and simple - I’m certain it will have other applications! A privilege to work with everyone on this!

The Hamiltonian Jungle is now alive! Inspired by the legacy of the Complexity Zoo, Quantum Algorithm Zoo, and Error Correction Zoo, this new website categorises the complexities of local Hamiltonian problems. Explore the jungle at hamiltonianjungle.xyz.

My little boy, Morty - hard at work and featured on cats with jobs 🛠! What a good boy!

I'm super excited to be joining Department of Computer Science - Warwick as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2024! There, I'll continue working at the intersection of quantum computing and learning theory.

If you'd like to become my first PhD student, you can apply now: warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/dcs/ne…

Ok so I’m learning that QIP is a really big deal in Amsterdam. I thought it was sweet that everyone checks their acceptance emails together, and we have a whole week of practice talks - but now this! 😄🍰

Quantum computing meets physics. Last day of #QTML2023 at #CERN and we were able to visit the impressive LHCb experiment 103.4 meters under ground 🫶

Want an A.I. update that doesn't have anything to do with Altmangate? Learn about the three essential phases of Quantum Machine Learning via this infographic we created to commemorate Dr. Amira Abbas's episode as Podcast of the Month!

Hahaha this is awesome, Amira Abbas showed me her Bingo Card and I think she's ahead of anyone!!
