.Univ. of Maryland's Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (@umiacs) is expanding its data center by 50% to support the institute's growing research portfolio in areas like machine learning, artificial intelligence and computer vision. Learn more: go.umd.edu/3TSibIQ

We're heartbroken from the sudden passing of our colleague and friend Rance Cleaveland (1961-2024).

Known for his quick wit, positive demeanor, and dedication, Rance's presence will be deeply missed Univ. of Maryland.

At Science on Tap on 3/28, QuICS Fellow Nicole Yunger Halpern (@nicoleyh11) will be discussing 'quantum steampunk,' the title of her novel and the emerging field at the intersection of #QuantumComputing and energy science. RSVP: go.umd.edu/sot0324

Thanks again for the opportunity. Paper is now out: scirate.com/arxiv/2403.045…

Paper out just in time for March Meeting! Experiment inspired by closed timelike curves: using entanglement, you can perform parameter estimation on a field whose direction you don't know. Check out the talk Wed., 11:30, Rm 201AB.

How many things can you fit inside an oscillator? Slides and video of an overview talk on bosonic codes I gave Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing.

Did this week's colloquium speaker predict a violation of the 2nd law of thermodynamics, as he thinks possible? We aren't betting on it, but we had a blast debating at the #thermodynamicslunch QuICS UMD Physics Institute for Physical Science and Technology, with Chris Jarzynski at the board.

Research by #QuICS fellows, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students and alumni is featured at #QIP2024 , considered one of the premier conferences dedicated to quantum computer science.

My new work with Nathanan Tantivasadakarn and Victor V. Albert is out today on the arXiv! arxiv.org/abs/2312.09272

We study SPT order protected by *non-invertible* symmetry in a class of group-based cluster states, akin to the relationship between the toric code and quantum double.
