The Knowmads Podcast E17| Kaden Hazzard on the exotic nature of paraparticles. Kaden Hazzard #TheKnowmadsPodcast youtu.be/u4jeTezxuOM?si…

I had a great time on the The Knowmads Podcast talking about paraparticles and touching on a lot more -- choosing paths in research, science communication, and even a little philosophy. Thanks for having me Bhavay Tyagi and Prachi Garella !

I am alarmed by the proposed cuts to U.S. funding for basic research, and the impact this would have for U.S. competitiveness in AI and other areas. Funding research that is openly shared benefits the whole world, but the nation it benefits most is the one where the research is

🧪⚛️ Now is the time to push back on the proposed cuts to science and engineering research funding in the US. Congress appropriates, not the executive. nanoscale.blogspot.com/2025/06/pushin…

I am once again pitching my romantic comedy: - two academics start dating - discover they are each other's terrible reviewer - hijinks ensue Working title: Love is Double-Blind

Some thoughts on the recent Quantinuum magic state experiments: arxiv.org/abs/2506.14688 arxiv.org/abs/2506.14169 (Disclaimer: I am a coauthor of the second paper.)

Raymond Laflamme 1960-2025. A great scientist, renowned for his pioneering contributions to quantum error correction. A great leader, founding director of Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC). A great colleague and teacher whose legacy continues to inspire us. uwaterloo.ca/institute-for-…

Excited to share the first PRL from my group: journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1…

🧪 ⚛️ There are signs that the US Senate is resisting calls for giant cuts to science agencies. Now is the time to push on the House appropriators, to try to stave off catastrophic damage to US science and engineering research and competitiveness. nanoscale.blogspot.com/2025/07/us-sci…

It is a major policy failure that the US cannot accommodate top AI conferences due to visa issues.

Great talk, with the distinction of having the first hand drawn periodic table I've ever seen. Great workshop so far -- thanks to organizers Tim Langen (@timlangen.bsky.social) Sebastian Will

I’m excited to share our new Perspective article published in Optical Materials Express. We provide an overview of recent experiments, theoretical frameworks, cavity designs, and future opportunities in the emerging field of quantum vacuum engineering. lnkd.in/gRYxVYJa

Check out our preprint - first observation of droplets in Bose-Einstein condensates of ultracold molecules!! Droplets appear when increasing dipolar interactions. Molecule density reaches 100x the density in the BEC. Possibly a quantum liquid or a crystal?arxiv.org/abs/2507.15208

Daniel and Kelly talk about recent mathematical innovations that suggest a third category of particles beyond matter and forces. iheart.com/podcast/105-da…
