For the past 70 years, scientists have taught us that female mammals are born with a finite ovarian egg supply. In humans, that supply dwindles until menopause, when it goes bankrupt. That dogma might be utterly wrong, new research suggests. www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-...

Coseners was great, I missed cheese and british irony. Selling quantum to a room full of classical internet & communications architects went down quite well

Such a pleasure to have participated at NUS’s HACKAMONTH this June! Beyond grateful to my co-hackers and the staff at Singapore’s Center of Quantum Tech, for an incredible month & wonderful collaborations! One of the papers written during this time is already out, but keep an eye out for more :)

I visited the first museum on the afterlife. Can now claim I have been to hell and back 😉

Some pictures of the orchid garden at the Singaporean botanical garden

New pre-print: a quantum ring all-reduce, the primitive behind large-scale ML training. We cut online communication, enable info-theoretically private aggregation, & show quadratic/exponential advantages on gradient-conflict problems. scirate.com/arxiv/2606.2...

Yesterday I gave a short intro to Distributed Quantum Computing at the Center of Quantum tech in Singapore! You can check out my (20 min long) dry run here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=xUrb...

In case you doubt why would distribution be useful for compute: ~ from arxiv.org/pdf/1802.05799

It would be very nice if quantum circuit benchmarking suites like MQTBench came with expected results for the circuits in 0 noise environments so that we can test against them. It's easy enough for things like W or GHZ generators but I have no clue what your Grover implementation was converging on

Having a great time in sunny Singapore during the first week of CQT’s HACKMONTH

I find this mildly entertaining

I’ll be at the Center of Quantum Tech in the National University if Singapore t’ill late June. Reach out if you’re around!

I have a few things to plug so I guess this needs to be a thread. First: new paper! What if instead of designing quantum software with H's in boxs and of weird things, what if you just play whack-a-mole with a managable set of variables. Turns out it works! scirate.com/arxiv/2605.2...

Interested in what resource estimation for minimisation looks like in DQC? Well I have a new blog post: grageragarces.github.io/dqc_articles...

1/2 After a week of causality lectures and explanations over sake and whiskey I think I’m starting to get it:

Lovely ride to the Isle of Skye today for the QI spring school

QuNAP group at the end of the day. A few people are missing, but this is a good chunk of attendees. #IEEE #INFOCOM #INFOCOM2026

Landed in Tokyo! First time in Asia (and thus also Japan). Quite excited and tired from the flight!

A spring Sunday aesthetic

Recent work were Majid Haghparast and I explore how the optimisation of quantum circuits behaves when implemented before and after partitioning in a standard compiler pipeline for distributed quantum computing: arxiv.org/pdf/2605.02727 Will be presented at DisQIC within ICDCS this summer.

I made it to the Nova 111 student list this year! The list recognises the top 111 students contributing to maths, physics and data analysis in the country

Are you in the Distributed Quantum Computing space? Do you develop hypergraph partitioners? Have you evaluated these partitioners using random circuits? Well, you shouldn’t… Random circuits are a computationally expensive & misleading testbed for partitioner performance: scirate.com/arxiv/2605.0...

I recently wrote an article for physics world on AI generated experiments. It included thoughts from the researchers on how this technology will change the role of experimentalists (particularly junior ones) physicsworld.com/a/meta-desig...

Very excited to have had two papers accepted this week! The camera ready versions should make their way to arXiv by the end of next week :) sites.google.com/view/disqic2...

Brilliant sightings at QCTiP

On my way to QCTiP! See ya there

I think the paper overlords are starting to take the piss with my PhD

I’ll be at QCTip next week talking about Global and Local encodings for Distributed Quantum Computing, an idea that has already led to published work with more on the way. Interested? Read my blog post about it: grageragarces.github.io/dqc_articles...

The endorphin hit of authors actually nailing revisions ... peak

World Quantum Day! doodles.google/doodle/world...

Edinburgh quantum science festival was a fun volunteering experience! Kids just wanted to know how fast thing were (priorities!)

German or autistic? I’m apparently both 🤣 To quote the result “it's people for whom the gap between how things are and how they ought to be is not an abstraction but a constant, low-grade irritation” german.millermanschool.com

I’ll be in Singapore June 1-26 for the @quantumlah.bsky.social’s Quantum Hackamonth! Exciting!!!

What is DQC? In under 10 min 👇 youtu.be/z4rkO_M5fwM

Crazy LinkedIn occurrence of the day... I hope no one in the field feels compelled to pay for recognition of their “influence”. Especially not in a gendered setting

Copilot will use your code for model training starting next month unless you opt out 👇 If you’re a student on the free plan, consider whether you want to disable this before April 24th

Got a Python PyPI library that you would like to auto-version update when you push a tagged change to git? Check out my crash tested tutorial on how to set up this automation: grageragarces.github.io/Tutorials/gu...

Went for a 6 am yoga session, followed by a cold dip in the Edinburgh sea, big breakfast, sauna and shower. Still made it into the office by 9, currently feeling like I am living a second day

Gilles Brassard explains how he met Charlie Bennet on a beach in 1979. The lesson here is that next time you see somebody on a beach who looks like a cult leader, do not hesitate to approach them to explain how quantum money works. You might both get a million dollars one day!

I recently made a presentation to my classical computing systems and network architecture team about why quantum computing is interesting. Check out my practice talk bellow 👇 youtu.be/Rben1STGWWU

Got a patent accepted from my time in @cisco.com ! I can claim to be an inventor now 😆🙌 image-ppubs.uspto.gov/dirsearch-pu...

New blog post on the distributed quantum computing industrial landscape: grageragarces.github.io/dqc_articles... There are probably more players than you expect! ~7th post of my DQC blogging series

Starting to post a bit on YouTube. I realised it's a good place to upload my practice talks. In the meantime, here’s my old application to the Unitary Foundation microgrant (which was accepted!). If the 2-min video requirement seems intimidating, this is what I sent: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XCh...

YouTube now auto-translates videos in certain regions. On one hand it’s probably nice for accessibility, on the other I never expected to hear myself speaking LATAM spanish… not sure how I feel about it in all honesty, given that I do speak Spanish and thus have personal phraseologies & accent

Some nice art I saw at the Palacio de Comunicaciones (Cibeles,Madrid) last month

Please avoid contributing to my projects with fully AI generated PRs that you don't even read through

See ya at QCTiP in April!

I finally googled what SaaS means. Thoroughly disappointed…

Couldn’t be more excited to share my first peer reviewed paper: scirate.com/arxiv/2602.0... An empirical exploration of distributed error correction, namely ZNE, under both local and global encodings (ZNE -> partitioning vs partitioning -> ZNE). Some of the results are quite cool & unexpected!

I’ve recently heard of moltbook (a social media platform only for AIs). It’s wayyy more interesting than you might think: www.astralcodexten.com/p/best-of-mo...
