Student's take on (post-quantum) cryptography: "It shouldn't be about hard problems or fast algorithms, it should be about not being a d*ck. Like, don't steal my stuff dude."

Happy to see YQIS returning after our last iteration MSU QIS and to now be on the steering committee - please consider submitting if you're a young researcher in quantum!

Nice diagram to motivate quantum computing to computer scientists - physics underlies all computers: change the physics and you change the computer! From Nisan and Schocken, The Elements of Computing Systems

For connections in Michigan, we're organizing a free short school in quantum computing for highschool students from metro Detroit June 12-14 at MSU - please share with any interested students & schools. More information and a link to apply at ryanlarose.com/quantum-motor-…

After SIAM AN20 was cancelled I at last got to present VQLS at SIAM LA24 today in Paris. It was interesting to present "old" work instead of "new" - there's more accountability. Thanks a lot to the organizers for the invitation and great workshop. Slides: tinyurl.com/la24-vqls

Submission deadline for QTML24 is approaching - submit an abstract for a talk or poster before May 25 at qtml2024.org/authors/

I found these results really interesting, assuming they're credible, and considered some new perspectives based on the comments - thanks to everyone who chimed in!

Twenty four new quantum computer programmers from around Detroit! Thanks to IBM's Quantum Education team for coming to help inspire students! We're already looking forward to a bigger and better school next year. msutoday.msu.edu/news/2024/msu-…

Zoomed into the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv this morning to give an intro to quantum compiling for some very bright and dedicated students! apps.ucu.edu.ua/en/summerschoo… Slides (~undergrad level) for anyone interested: tinyurl.com/ucu-compiling

It's been an honor having Ben join my group to do his PhD - check out this paper from his master's and keep an eye out for more great work from Ben!

I've started a new position! Starting this fall, I'm an Assistant Professor in the CS department Virginia Tech Virginia Tech Computer Science, with open PhD and postdoc positions! Check out my research (sumeetkhatri.com/research/), and feel free to contact me if you, or anyone you know, is interested.

Check out the new work in measurement reduction led by Nicolas P. D. Sawaya! in collaboration with Azulene, LBNL, NASA, Stanford, and MSU
