Newly published in Quantum: Minimising the number of edges in LC-equivalent graph states by Hemant Sharma, Kenneth Goodenough, Johannes Borregaard, Filip Rozpędek, and Jonas Helsen doi.org/10.22331/q-2...

maybe anathem got it right, idk.

Very cool.

I am giving a talk about automatic formal verification of computer hardware using Harmonic's Aristotle system at the University of Cambridge at their CS department on Thursday 26 February 2026 at 2PM in room FW26. The talk is open to the public. talks.cam.ac.uk/talk/index/2...

want to escape serfdom? time’s running out to start piping your entire workflow through a Clasp stack hosted on a Worgret instance and then sieving that output into LiBit bottles to get churned up into something Fluss can read and tokenize in the cloud with Nonk

Our first ZX-calculus paper was written in 2007 in the Alborz mountains in Iran. Let's hope that the Iranian people can get what "they" want. (RIP Hassan) www.cs.ox.ac.uk/people/bob.c...

Not a lot of surprises for people following closely, but a pretty good summary of where AI-OS is in 2026. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ANE...

I almost missed this from Scott Aaronson: > Meanwhile, Quantinuum took a victory lap, boasting of their recent successes in a way that I considered basically justified. scottaaronson.blog?p=9425 cc: @quantinuum.bsky.social

They're going to *throw out* one-of-a-kind NASA archives?! Not even a year since the Inauguration & we're already at the 2nd-time-as-farce version of the burning of the Library of Alexandria.

Interesting article, especially the part about big companies.

This is horrific. AI hallucinates references, Google Scholar swallows them, libraries adapt their records to Google Scholar as ground truth, and an inexistent paper becomes reality.

Just decline the peer review invitation. What are you people even doing?

Scientists should read this. artificialbureaucracy.substack.com/p/context-wi...

In search of better work–life balance, @spendier.bsky.social gave up her job as a tenured physics professor and looked for jobs in industry. The transition required repackaging her skills. She now runs @xprize.org’s competition in quantum applications. #whatcanphysicistsdo

I just published: ERC-Plus: jackpot science or missed chance to fix academia? My reflections on ERC-Plus, Europe’s newest ultra-competitive research grant and what it tells us about the academic culture we’re building. medium.com/p/erc-plus-j...

Want to hear more about #quantinuum's Helios #quantum computer? There's a webinar. It's on Teams, Tuesday 11 December, twice!. -- 3pm GMT / 9am MT events.teams.microsoft.com/event/37fe2b... -- 11pm GMT / 4pm MT events.teams.microsoft.com/event/35bd82...

Since the community here is very familiar with VQAs and their pitfalls, Here's my 2 cents on the the topic, would love to hear what everyone thinks too. TLDR: "VQAs are doomed, and that's great news for QC" 1/ however long it's gonna take

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage. www.thetimes.com/article/1b15...

Great thread by @jakearkinstall.bsky.social about the software picture behind our recently launched Helios machine: threadreaderapp.com/thread/19905...

What can you do with a state of the art quantum computer? For example, you can simulate superconducting materials. arxiv.org/abs/2511.02125 #quantum #quantumcomputing #quantinuum #helios

Our new Helios quantum computer. Read all about it. arxiv.org/abs/2511.05465 #quantum #quantumcomputing #quantinuum #helios

Quantinuum Helios is a powerful star!

I was fortunate enough to publish a paper on the same day as Helios launch, showcasing the power of Helios. We report a dynamic approach for certified randomness amplification scirate.com/arxiv/2511.0...

@quantinuum.bsky.social's collaboration with Singapore’s quantum ecosystem is stepping up to be a strategic partnership! An agreement announced on 5 Nov will see Singapore host Quantinuum’s Helios system, and Quantinuum establish a new R&D and Operations Centre in Singapore. buff.ly/kBS6TTn

Helios is finally announced! Aside from being a better quantum computer by the usual metrics (more qubits, better gates, faster operation) it's also the first quantum computer that is also a classical computer -- i.e. programs with control flow, function calls, classical logic and arithmetic...

Cool new results from my colleagues!

Interesting bit of sociology: They are really studiously avoiding any mention of quantum computing. First and only mention came in the last few words of the presentation by Johansson.

The workshop Quantum Resources is back! The next edition will take place in Tokyo in March. 2026.quantumresources.science Submission deadline: 31 October 2025 Workshop: 16–20 March 2026

This story is now big news all over the world... except in the UK.

"If the thing you call a 'policy' creates responsibility and accountability for something, without granting resources and authority to achieve that something, then it fails to qualify functionally as a 'policy' and is merely BULLYING." -- me, far too often in this academic life

We provide evidence of an exponential gap between adaptive & nonadaptive strategies for a quantum recompilation task Key takeaways: - Entanglement isn’t always a roadblock: its degree can aid training - Discrete optimization may be key to finding sweet spots between concentration & surrogation

When you realize the whole yearly budget for Quantum journal is equal to 8 Nature APCs - and they don't even wreck your paper in proof stage because...there is none

Hey #qec people! Do you like writing software? Do you want a #job? Come join us at #quantinuum! #quantum #quantumcomputing #jobad jobs.eu.lever.co/quantinuum/d...

Lazy people in quantum computing use the term "fault-tolerant" to mean "I don't want to think about errors". Unfortunately for these magical thinkers, QEC will not make error rates zero. Logical operations on logical qubits will have errors, and you'd better understand them. #quantum #quantinuumm

My colleague Patty Lee gets some much deserved recognition at Quantum World Congress! #quantum #quantinuum www.quantumworldcongress.com/news-and-upd...

Not only at the athletics world cup in Tokyo are new world records set. This is for our H2 quantum computer.
