A study in Nature reports that 2020 may mark the crossover point when human-made mass surpasses that of living biomass. The mass embedded in human-made items has doubled every 20 years for the past 100 years. go.nature.com/3n3L6rM

.@nature cover features findings by ASIM 🦋 @asim.dk, a first for an European Space Agency International International Space Station experiment! The paper describes a sighting of five intense blue flashes in a cloud top, one generating a ‘blue jet’ into the stratosphere esa.int/Science_Explor…

Error mitigation techniques may allow a smooth transition into the fault-tolerant computing era. Together with Christophe and Stefan from IBM Research and ETH Physics we improve the sampling overhead for the quasiprobability method arxiv.org/abs/2101.09290

Salla, the self-proclaimed coldest town in Finnish Lapland, wants to draw attention to climate change by announcing that it will bid to host 2032 Summer Olympics reut.rs/3t7JRLF

¡Por fin vemos la dinámica del sombrero del #Teide! Impresionante video time-lapse con el comportamiento de la nube lenticular en #Tenerife. Es estática porque se forma por la propia montaña y se modula por el fuerte viento en esa capa atmosférica.

Checkout our latest work in IBM Research on quantum algorithms for tackling the protein folding problem using Qiskit , published in NPJ Quantum Information nature.com/articles/s4153…

When we first derived error mitigation we tried to make it clear it was not error correction. Since then I have wanted to bring them together and in this work we start to close the gap. Still a long way to go but I really like this direction of research arxiv.org/abs/2103.04915

I am very excited to share with you our work on Quantum HF- and DFT-Embedding algorithms! If you are interested in how we use #qiskit and #pyscf to scale to larger molecular systems be sure to check out: doi.org/10.1063/5.0029… PanagiotisBarkoutsos @PaulineOllitrau

In this new work we show how to approximate the Quantum Fisher Information of parameterized circuits using SPSA, reducing the cost of Quantum Natural Gradient and Variational Imaginary Time Evolution on quantum hardware, check it out! Computational Quantum Science Lab IBM Research EPFL ETH Physics

Finally, it is published! nature.com/articles/s4153… Very happy for the result. Thanks a lot to the reviewers, who found the time to check it, despite the covid :) And of course to my collaborators Julien, Christa and Stefan IBM Research ETH Zürich Faculty of Science | UNIGE

We are excited to announce our Qiskit Hackathon Europe: Research Study Groups! If you’re looking to collaboratively work on quantum computing projects with a community of researchers and developers, register before the kick-off on the 20th of April! qisk.it/hackathoneurope

Today was our annual IBM Quantum Summit where we and our community made important announcements. Here is a quick recap thread.

postdoc position in Renato Renner's quantum information theory group QIT Zurich at ETH, in close collaboration with the IBM quantum algorithms and application group led by Stefan Wörner: jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/JOPG_… 🎉

New arXiv paper out! Purely classical machine learning :) in collaboration with David Sutter Alessio Figalli and Stefan Woerner. We define and motivate a measure of capacity for ML models: the local effective dimension. We show how this quantity bounds generalization error 1/3
