And now for some light entertainment. Let me introduce to you...

Day 4 of #QTML2023 and the venue for #QTML2024 is just announced... Melbourne, Australia! Relevant dates:

On the arXiv today: important new work work from Marco Cerezo and co. And proving once again the value of Twitter threads as a form of scientific communication!

Keeping my eyes on this, already looks to an excellent resource 👀

The UK IBM Quantum team are looking for summer interns! If you are a master's or PhD student and interested in a research placement this summer please see below: krb-sjobs.brassring.com/tgwebhost/jobd… ⚠️ Deadline is Monday 18th March ⚠️

Exciting news! Our research, exploring the connection between trainable encoding gates and the spectral form of #QML models, is now published in PRA! Key takeaway: for classical data, trainable encoding gates are often cheap and very effective! journals.aps.org/pra/abstract/1…

Today on the arXiv (arxiv.org/abs/2508.20868), we show how the Fourier modes of variational QML models are almost always correlated! And the amount of correlation (a) depends on your choice of ansatz (b) can be a strong predictor of how well your model will perform
