I had the privilege of interacting with John when I was at the start of my journey. Those little chats and receiving compliments from him was influential on my line of thought. I will miss him.

Can any of my friends here tell me why we do research? Why should we (as humans) understand complex things in the first place? I mean, in a few years we will be dead anyway.

I'm unsure if having an account on X is acceptable anymore. It seems to be accreditation of #ElonMusk's actions, helping him to satisfy his desire for power by manipulating facts.

Final call to apply for FQC 2025! eventcreate.com/e/fqc2025

Let's kick off #FQC25 in Edinburgh with our beloved Richard Jozsa talking about the foundations and recent results in IQP computation.

Our next #FQC25 speaker is Hans Briegel talking about MBQC and his recent results on machine learning.

Our first speaker of the afternoon at #FQC25 is Elham Kashefi. She tells us why fell in love with MBQC!

Last speaker of today's #FQC25 program is Viv Kendon. She presents to us nonlinear quantum random walks.

Second day of #FQC25: Matt Pusey talks about the reconstruction of state spaces from data.

Sitan Chen talks about information-memory-computation tradeoffs for learning quantum states. #FQC25

Mathias Caro talks about learning quantum states and unitaries of bounded gate complexity. #FQC25

In the last talk of the day, Rüdiger Schack tells us that quantum dynamics happens only on paper! #FQC25

We kick off the last day of #FQC25 with Paolo Perinotti talking about quantum and fermionic cellular automata.

The final invited talk of #FQC25 is delivered by Hjalmar Rall, “Quantum tomography from the evolution of a single expectation.”

Thanks to everyone for making #FQC25 a great fun! Hope to see many of you in the next one.

Claim: gpt-5-pro can prove new interesting mathematics. Proof: I took a convex optimization paper with a clean open problem in it and asked gpt-5-pro to work on it. It proved a better bound than what is in the paper, and I checked the proof it's correct. Details below.

Soon, problem solver “scientists” will be obsolete!

Thugs of #IRGC easily come to Poland and go on an EU tour, while my Iranian postdoc has been waiting for nearly a year for getting his residence card approved! I can't travel to the US for scientific purposes, and many researchers are behind the borders. Who lets them in?
