Our group is looking to hire postdocs to work at the intersection of quantum computing, quantum algorithms, quantum machine learning, simulation of many-body quantum systems and early-fault tolerant quantum computing Apply here: lanl.jobs/search/jobde... Reposts appreciated!

Come join us next week!

📅New #colloquium on October 16, 2025! Organized by @dobrautz.bsky.social, Edoardo Altamura will discuss #QuantumMachineLearning for chemistry uses.  Choy Boy will present on energy landscapes for variational quantum algorithms. Join us @tudresden.bsky.social & online: 🔗https://tinyurl.com/43hhur49

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...

📢Several PhD and Postdoc positions in my group (focusing on AI for Scientific Discovery in Physics) at @unituebingen.bsky.social If you are excited about using AI to design new ways for observing the universe, please apply here: uni-tuebingen.de/en/128980#c2...

Due to popular demand, I am sharing my slide deck on #environmental costs of #ML in #compchem & #materials_science www.grynova-ccc.org/other.html - incl. work by @skepteis.bsky.social @pschwllr.bsky.social and others. Please send any other relevant resources my way, I’ll be maintaining this deck.

I have an open PhD position. The exact topic is negotiable and can range from implementing new quantum-chemical methods in @orca-qc-official.bsky.social to computational studies of open-shell molecules. 🔗 Details: www.langresearch.org/open-phd-fel... Please share! #PhDposition #CompChem

Also, sharing for friends: Anyone fancy a (minimal teaching load) tenure track position on quantum computing on a sunny island 🌤️ 🏝️? The Cyprus Institute are also hiring a tenure track assistant proff on quantum algorithms. onlinerecruitment.exelsyslive.com?c=6E7274A2-8... (Deadline next week)

I've complained a couple times about the lack of physics community here but not done much about it! New commitment: I'll post one interesting arXiv paper a day until things are better. (To the folks who follow me for non-physics science policy, don't worry; plenty more of that reporting to come.)

Excited to see our work featured by Digital Discovery! Tired of quantum noise ruining your chemistry sims? Our new MREM method brings multireference insight to error mitigation—boosting accuracy for strongly correlated molecules on NISQ hardware. Proud of this collaboration with @rahmlab.bsky.social

Yesterday the Supreme Court issued a convoluted, 36-page emergency order about NIH grant terminations. Two main takeaways: -$2 billion (not the government # of $780 million) in NIH grants will likely be re-terminated -future legal challenges will be much harder w/ @maxkozlov.bsky.social:

New PostDoc opportunity in #CompChem at @uclchemistry.bsky.social Join our exciting research to develop novel wavefunction theory for open-shell ground and excited states in molecules. Find out more about our group at www.hughburton.com Please share widely! www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DOE518/r...

I benefited massively from www.ipam.ucla.edu/programs/lon.... I got into ML for science through that program. Now IPAM may be gone mathstodon.xyz/@tao/1149568...

New: In addition to UCLA's NSF grants, looks like ~494 NIH grants and 2 DOE grants were also suspended. Will have more details later once they are processed.

For the math folks on here: NSF has suspended Terry Tao's grant. www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/...

Breaking: NSF is suspending roughly 300 grants with UCLA, following a DOJ finding on Tuesday that the university violated Title VI by "creating a hostile educational environment for Jewish and Israeli students."

Der Berliner Senat will die erst 2024 ausgehandelten Hochschulverträge aufkündigen und 10% des Budgets der Berliner Hochschulen streichen. Wer gegen diesen Kahlschlag und die Streichung von über 20.000 Studienplätze protestieren will, kann hier unterschreiben: sites.google.com/view/briefge...

It was a pleasure to attend and contribute to this amazing event, share our latest work, and connect with the NQS community. Thanks to the organizers and fellow speakers – amazing discussions all around! Looking forward to more collaboration and open science in the NQS space! #QMC #NQS #OpenScience

Day 2 of the workshop "Open software for neural wavefunctions" in Lausanne! Chris Roth (Flat Iron Institute) has started today's program with a talk on "Pfaffian NQS for Fermion Problems", followed by Attila Szabó (‪ETHZ‬) who spoke on "Tower-of-states spectroscopy for the Shastry-Sutherland model"

The Trump admin wants to cut the NSF's budget by 57%. In terms of directorates, EDU and ENG would see the biggest cuts at 75%, while MPS is looking at a ~67% cut. The proposal also defunds nearly all postdoc programs and slashes the NSF GRFP budget by 55%. More here: cen.acs.org/policy/resea...

Why is the cut to NSF is so steep? The $5 billion, 57% cut goes well beyond other science agencies (40% for NIH, 14% for DOE science). It's more than the numbers from the Cruz report, which (erroneously) estimated only 2 billion over 4 years went to "DEI" science. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Presidential budget is out. Here's NSF. Biggest cut, by amount, is $1 billion, or 66.8%, from MPS (Physics & Math directorate). nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/00-NSF...

All of NIH funding to Northwestern University is frozen. This pause includes noncompeting approved funding, new and competing grants with fundable scores. No reimbursements for money already spent have been received since March. This situation is rarely reported so please Please get the word out!

Outstanding success: 🎉 #TUDresden shines with 5 Clusters of Excellence. @dfg.de & @wissenschaftsrat.de announced that decision today. TUD has impressively proven its claim to be a top university for the 21st century. ℹ️ tu-dresden.de/tu-dresden/n...

Was zur Hölle? Harvard darf keine ausländischen Studierenden mehr aufnehmen. Derzeit dort studierende müssen gehen. Das ist die Zerstörung der Universität Nummer 1 der USA. Das ist totale Eskalation. Ich habe keine Worte. www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

All NSF GRFPs to students choosing to attend Harvard in the Fall were just terminated

I'm a current Harvard graduate student and I found out today that I had my NSF GRFP terminated without notification. I was awarded this individual research fellowship before even choosing Harvard as my graduate school

Ich finde euch übrigens alle exzellent, egal was die DFG sagt 🫶

Please boost widely: For the conference "100 Years Quantum Mechanics" on Helgoland in June (9-14) we still have some spots available again due to last-minute cancellations. Registration is therefore open again for a short time: https://indico.mpl.mpg.de/event/17/ More info about the event and […]

As a physics journalist, it is fairly wild to see the names of the PIs with terminated grants: Misha Lukin, Philip Kim, Lisa Randall, Subir Sachdev, John Doyle... bsky.app/profile/benn...

We are recruiting a PhD student in machine learning for photocatalysis! In this project, we will collaborate with the group of Frank Glorius @gloriusgroup.bsky.social to develop predictive tools for energy-transfer-catalyzed photocycloadditions. Reposts appreciated! jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/JOP...

NEW: Starting May 5, NSF will implement an across-the-board 15% indirect cost rate (mirroring policies at DOE, NIH) Also, NSF staff expect 341 additional terminations today, bringing the total number of terminations to ~1,380.

The last talk of the day is given by Werner Dobrautz. He apologises for the long title.

International Student Visas—Canceled Without warning or explanation, the Trump administration has revoked dozens of student visas at top California schools. University officials say they haven’t been told why these students were targeted. This isn’t about security—it’s about silencing dissent.
