Optimizing pulses for the conception of gates is important to reduce errors on #quantum computer. Marco Rossignolo, @nv_alastair, Phila Rembold et al. introduce a new package of quantum optimal control, QuOCS. More details in: arxiv.org/abs/2212.11144 #QuantumComputing

Got a long email today basically asking for a favor and it began, "Dear Oliver" 🤨

😰 The proposal to reform the #WissZeitVG in Germany is terrifying. 🥼 If this goes through PostDoc time will be reduced to max 3 instead of 6 years, while there is no visible incentive for more permanent positions. WHAT A NIGHTMARE

QUANTUM 👏TECHNOLOGY 👏IS 👏ALREADY 👏HERE

Winner 🏆 of our #quantumchallenge2023 is Phila Rembold and she explained the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle using an analogy with guitars! Check out the thread below to know more about the analogy ⬇️

Guess what. A thousand Quantum papers! quantum-journal.org/1000-quantum-p…

should I go watch the new quantum computing Black Mirror episode and live tweet all the scientific inaccuracies just to ruin it à la NDT

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2023 #NobelPrize in Physics to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier “for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter.”

Deep congratulations to my brother in quantum arms Florian Meier on his first first-author PRL on the fundamental physics of keeping track of time. The accuracy of a clock lower bounds a function of the resolution at which it can keep track of time. journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1…

Massive massive congratulations to QuIT superstar Dr. Elizabeth Agudelo for getting approval for the Austrian Science Fund's Elisa Richter Program! 🤩 May she be stuck with us for many years to come ❤️ #ElisaForEliza #QuITtersNeverQuit

Huge congrats to QuITter Phila Rembold for being awarded the 2022 Ernst Ising Dissertation Prize from the University of Cologne! The prize-winning PhD thesis, in the field of quantum optimal control, can be found here: kups.ub.uni-koeln.de/61563/

Do you work on variational quantum algorithms or quantum machine learning? If so, please check our latest article: arxiv.org/abs/2312.09121 Here, we ask: Are barren plateau-free models classically simulable? Should we rethink variational QC as a whole? LONG 🧵 below 1/n

Next week, for "Quantum Day", our own Dr. Phila Rembold Phila Rembold will be giving a talk in Vienna on quantum computing!

New preprint from QuITter Phila Phila Rembold: The bases are really loaded for this one! She and her collaborators expain here how your choice of basis functions can drastically affect computation times in quantum optimal control calculations. arxiv.org/abs/2405.20889

Today my article for the online magazine scilog (FWF) was published. 🙌 It is my first commissioned pop-science piece so I'm quite excited. Enjoy my tableware-related analogy for quantum sensors and how it connects to Jupiter below 😊 scilog.fwf.ac.at/magazin/jupite…
