The segment starting 16:30 ish is pure gold. Why he wanted to be a theoretical physicist and what led him to drop that plan.

Haha! Good luck with Euler. Ref: physics.stackexchange.com/questions/6320… #Units #Dimensions #Physics

This is so true. In 2015, I was exploring algebras and irreducibility of covariant quantization and came across DeWitt's notation. I made sure to have a small appendix (only one) to explain it. This was part of reading project in Year II of my PhD. rgjha.github.io/notes/tft_repo…

Feynman is now famously known for the last line of this prologue but he himself picked it up from this 1914 book.

I love this paragraph. Truth!

From Dirac's 1963 article in SciAm. Always a good read.

Wheeler sent Everett's PhD thesis to list of distinguished physicists for comments. DeWitt responded by writing a 8-page letter. And 13 years later, it was DeWitt who popularised this approach and named it `many-worlds' interpretation of QM.

This week is going to be fun! Attending #APSMarchMeeting [first time] happening in Minneapolis, MN and giving a remote talk at a workshop in Queen Mary U of London indico.tpi.uni-jena.de/event/359/cont…

Designing drugs to save lives has turned to be an exponentially hard problem over the past 50 years. Today, it takes about 10 years and $2 billion to find one new drug. Can computing with quantum mechanics help? #APSMarchMeeting #QuantumComputing

Good crowd for our session at #apsmarch celebrating 30 years since Shor’s algorithm!

This is a legendary photo.

Had a good visit to University of Maryland talking about our SYK time-evolution results with three layers of error mitigation with circuit depth of about 340 two-qubit gates using current best known Trotter-based complexity.

60 years of Jaynes-Cummings model! In recent years, it has become specially interesting because it is the simplest model which can be considered as a qubit-qumode system i.e., fusion of discrete and continuous approaches to quantum computing. icfo.eu/news/2385/the-…

Our paper on tensor network study of a toy model for QCD in three (Euclidean) dimensions is now open access on Physical Review D This is a direction towards approximating QCD partition function, accepted theory of the strongest of the four fundamental forces of nature.
