I am extremely proud of this review article to Quantum Machine Learning 🌟🌟 arxiv.org/abs/2511.15969 Our goal was to give a bird's eye view of QML, from quantum PAC, to Linear Algebraic approaches and variational methods. Huge thanks to my co author Su Yeon Chang@

This was a really cool project to work on! Matt is an amazing researcher, go follow him! Also, he's on the job market for a postdoc 😋😉

Applications for the LANL quantum computing summer school are now open! I recently got asked about the most important turning points of my career and without hesistation said the LANL summer school. The first 1/3 of this video is me rambling about why it was so special: youtu.be/XjkHmtr_IT0?...

🚨Applications for LANL's 2026 Quantum Computing Summer School are open! Please apply here 👇 academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/31108 Reposts appreciated! Deadline to Apply is January 11th 2026. Still, you should go and apply now!

Just a friendly reminder that there are currently two ads for postdocs at Los Alamos National Laboratory: Quantum Simulations of fermionic systems apply here: lanl.jobs/search/jobde... Quantum Simulations for nuclear physics apply here: lanl.jobs/search/jobde... Shares appreciated

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!

2025 UMD Quantum postdoc job thread. We start with the Quantum Optics Fellowship, intended for AMO and QI. Anyone who would have applied for the JQI Fellowship should apply to this one. academicjobsonline.org/ajo/fellowsh...

Life Goal Achieved: I have so many arxiv tabs open that when opening a new one, I am now prompted to complete captchas.

Hey quantum bsky! Does any have any experience with becoming a Trusted Reviewer for Springer? Seems like the commitment is quite high for getting that title; you need to review one paper a month for them. Interested in hearing anyone's thoughts on this.

I find myself in a barren plateaud landscape. I've used Monument Valley so much as an analogy for BPs, that I figured I should finally pay this beautiful place a visit!

I am so, so happy to see this article published as a perspective in Nature Communications: www.nature.com/articles/s41... More than the paper itself, I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with all my co-authors on the implications of the absence of BPs ~ classical simulability connection

This week is my 10 year anniversary of my first paper posted to arxiv, holy xow, how time flies!!

We recently posted 2 works on quantum resource theories: arxiv.org/abs/2506.19696, arxiv.org/abs/2507.10851 👂Huh? Yall want more? We got you covered with a NEW work Analyzing the free states of one quantum resource theory as resource states of another arxiv.org/abs/2507.11793

Also, pretty pictures are pretty

I am incredibly excited by this paper! We believe it opens up some interesting new directions to study resource non-increasing channels in quantum resource theories!

So What Do We Know QC To Be Good For? - Simulating quantum physics and chemistry - Breaking current public-key encryption (RSA, DH, ECC) - Eventually, modest (square-root) speedups from Grover - We’ll have to get lucky for most other applications! (The world has been systemically lied to about this)

🚨Excited to share our new paper "Characterizing quantum resourcefulness via group-Fourier decompositions" from last year's LANL Quantum Computing summer School📘 arxiv.org/abs/2506.19696 !

I will be in Madrid in Sept 15 to 19th for the Entangle This VI Conference! Given that I'll be traveling across the pond I'd love to take that opportunity to visit some other local group in Spain! Let me know if you're interested and I can plan a trip :)

This is an extremely cool paper from our summer school! If you missed it, and want the tldr, LANL recently put out a press release on our work!! www.lanl.gov/media/news/0... Again, huge props to my co authors!

New paper out!! 🎉🎉 "Optimal Haar random fermionic linear optics circuits" Super fun collaboration with @impolster.bsky.social @nahuelldiaz.bsky.social @martinlaroo.bsky.social and @mvscerezo.bsky.social ! Thread 👇 arxiv.org/abs/2505.24212

Extremely proud to see this Quantum Computing Summer School paper published. The paper shocases our student Aroosa, but also our former school students @matt-goh.bsky.social as the last author! I am super happy to see Matt grow so much as a scientist!!

🎉I am very happy to see our Barren Plateau Review published in Nature Review Physics. This article condenses 6 years of our LANL work, but also so many amazing papers by the community!! Check it here 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s42...

I am extremely happy to see this summer school paper by @alicewithoutbob.bsky.social being published in PRL! It's also my postdoc @dgarciamartin.bsky.social first last author paper and I couldn't be prouder of the amazing work he does!!

Another amazing paper from our Summer School student @antonioannamele.bsky.social (is that 3 papers already?!) and from our collaboration with the power house that are @aangrisani.bsky.social and @quantummanuel.bsky.social, from @qzoeholmes.bsky.social! 's incredible group. arxiv.org/abs/2501.13101

New PhD/PostDoc positions in Machine Learning for Quantum Computing and Simulation of Quantum Matter: dobrautz.github.io/jobs/postdoc... dobrautz.github.io/jobs/phd/cas... Sharing and endorsing would be really appreciated <3 @hzdr.bsky.social @scadsai.bsky.social @tudresden.bsky.social

🖊️ @qzoeholmes.bsky.social and I are editing an issue for Quantum Science and Technology journal ow.ly/fR1W50Uu1av We want - (Wacky) new ideas for variational algorithms - Honest benchmarks, if you show it don't work, we want it (be thorough) - Studies on classical simulability - Power of data in QML

🚨Question to jumpstart 2025🚨 Will variational quantum algorithms / quantum machine learning provide any form of quantum utility (either exponential/polynomial advantage, in NISQ/FTQC, etc)? 👉Please, elaborate in the comments/provide citations! I really want this discussion!! 1️⃣ Yes 2️⃣ No 3️⃣ Maybe

Just a friendly reminder that applications to our summer school are open until January 19th 2025!! Apply here if you haven't: lanl-summer-school-programs.wizehive.app/program/quan... Or please complete your application by the 19th

I constantly live in a state where I simultaneously love and hate Clebsch–Gordan coefficients.

How it feels going back to the good-ol' TexWorks

I finished season 2 of the Rings Of Power today 💍 Great.. Great show!! Gets 5/5 Marco's. Highly recommended if you like LotR. And yes, I know it's not the Silmarilion. But it cannot be the Silmarilion as they don't have the rights.

Kicking off my existence on this platform with a paper release 🔥 We propose a framework for the quantum-enhanced classical simulation of small expectation landscape "patches". In short: You can do more classically than you might have thought. scirate.com/arxiv/2411.1... #quantum

hello world 🖖

#QTML2025 Announced for Singapore!

The #QTML2024 panel on the future of quantum computing is getting interesting:

If you are at #QTML2024, our very own Martin Larocca is giving a tutorial: "Representation theory for quantum computing" today at 3pm!
