A set of exercise sheets for classical and quantum statistical mechanics that I was tutoring in 2026. Quite advanced and covering many doable theoretical peoblems. The format (and the larger chunk of content) was based on earlier courses tutored by Christian Gogolin and Martin Kliesch which […]

I visited Munich and was thrilled to bump into Spyros Sotiriadis at the cafeteria. He is an expert on quantum field theory and we have researched memory loss effects and structures of light cones together in the context of 1d experiments in Vienna. Even […] [Original post on mathstodon.xyz]

Very neat #chess puzzle 😀 https://lichess.org/training/cLuGg

Don't get put off from this book by the author's glaringly whitened teeth on the cover. It does a good job at - motivating to get into action through the relief of removing clutter and resolving pending commitments by completing them - building a mindset of […] [Original post on mathstodon.xyz]

Oh look, it's me on @standupmaths's YouTube channel again! https://youtu.be/nsj3gTGh9K0 I didn't enjoy this project while I was making it, but it's alright now it's finished, don't you think?

The debate around Musk and the Royal Society is just so frustrating. If those who think it is right to retain him as an FRS were to say "Here, despite his having been a direct accomplice to the dismantling of scientific institutions, destruction of scientific data, spreading of...

Grover's brilliant quantum algorithm has all along been an approximation to imaginary-time evolution. https://lnkd.in/eFMBFUw8 This makes Grover's algorithm no less exciting and makes ITE the more exciting. Our derivation is based on the framework of […] [Original post on mathstodon.xyz]

I wish I had something to say about science today but I don't so here, instead, is an elephant. :)

DB-QITE outperforms QPE - at least in the foreseeable future. We updated our manuscript https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.04554 and thanks to the contribution of #quantum compilation by Rene Zander and Raphael Seidel(pip install qrisp) we were able to show these results:

Terrific #painting by Min Wae Aung at the National #art#paintingGallery in Kuala Lumpur. The feet in each side seem to be part of a continuous motion so I'm wondering if the concept of this painting could be based on several stills from a video processed to high contrast with a filter?

Cool book about the perspective of #medical doctors onto the art of making a #diagnosis#medical I think the fact that Dr. Cuddy in House M.D. is called Lisa is no coincidence?

We proposed a new way of implementing quantum signal processing even though we didn't plan for it https://scirate.com/arxiv/2504.01077 In most applications, a matrix exponential $e^A$ is defined by an infinite series in A which cannot be truncated without […] [Original post on mathstodon.xyz]
