IEEE Information Theory Workshop will be in Sydney this year, Sep 29 - Oct 3. Nice opportunity for us complex systems people to engage with the "Information theory and statistics, biology and signal processing" track. Papers due by Apr 18 -- CFP at ieee-itw2025.org/call-for-paper…

Blown away by the record-breaking 252 submissions to #QEC25! 🚀 Exceptional quality across theory and experiment—our community keeps raising the bar. Can’t wait to work with the PC to select an outstanding program. This conference is going to be amazing! 🎉

We’re excited to share updates ensuring the long-term sustainability of the EC Zoo. To continue delivering great content and improving your experience, we’re introducing a new subscription-based model. Check out our website for more detailed information!

The EC Zoo is not just a repository. It can also be used as a data set to train our artificially intelligent friends! LLMs were tasked to compile zoo entries from papers. They identified hard-to-find information, and hallucinations were easy to catch by humans.

Huge congratulations to my amazing student Yeyuan Chen (+Zihan Zhang at OSU advised by Zeyu Guo) for receiving the STOC 2025 Best Student Paper Award! Their monumental result proves explicit Reed-Solomon codes can correct more errors than previously known: arxiv.org/abs/2408.15925

Tomorrow I'm giving a zoom talk on magic state cultivation at the Simons quantum Colloquium Apr 8, 10am PST, see simons.berkeley.edu/programs-event… Cultivation is the current culmination of a decade of work ending the reign of T gates as the main cost in fault tolerant quantum computation

The list of accepted talks for the QEC conference is out: qec25.yalepages.org/assets/images/… That will be a super exciting conference. Don't miss it! Our work with Gilles Zémor was accepted for a talk.

I've been sitting on this result for some time because it seemed too crazy to be true. I really hope I didn't make any stupid mistakes! arxiv.org/abs/2506.15147 A 🧵 on why I think this is a rather strange result.

We mourn the loss of one of the founders of the QEC (Knill-Laflamme) conditions and one of the first to write down the five qubit code (aka the Laflamme code). errorcorrectionzoo.org/c/stab_5_1_3
