60 students are attending our 1st in-person #machinelearningtheory summer school this week. Organizer Boris Hanin, assistant prof of operations research & financial engineering, aims to promote "a common language" to connect the next gen. of researchers in the field.

QEC meets crazy polytopes. Super fun!

In my obviously totally unbiased opinion, I think this baby's much cuter.

Our preprint on quantum error correction in single molecules is online: arxiv.org/abs/2405.02236 We look at ways to implement Æ-codes to protect quantum information against photon absorption and emission. These codes have been found by Victor V. Albert and coworkers.

Some more personal details about the spherical codes paper I was so excited about last year. With the recent focus on dual-rail in bosonic coding, I think Alice & Bob are the only ones actively pursuing cat codes, and I wish them success. phys.org/news/2024-06-f…

2025 UMD Department of Computer Science REU-CAAR is out! Dom Williamson and I are looking for an REU summer student on bivariate bicycle codes. Yifan Hong and Yu-Xin Wang have a nice project on QLDPC codes. Shubham Jain is looking to find record breaking qutrit codes. cs.umd.edu/projects/reuca…
