I'm delighted happy to feature on the homepage of Die Zeit @diezeit.bsky.social today, for the first in a new feature of theirs, called "Just One Question", launching across print, online, audio, video, & newsletter www.zeit.de/wissen/2025-...

Blog post: "Actually, you can't test if quantum uses complex numbers" algassert.com/post/2501 I doom the concept of that 2021 Nature paper by showing how to compile any distributed quantum protocol into real-only gates while preserving locality.

A nice historical look at the origins of the Ising model. www.arxiv.org/abs/2509.00632

Big grant news today! I feel very lucky and honored for this opportunity from @erc.europa.eu . We will attempt to go for a big qualitative step up in how we use AI/ML to predict how particles interact with matter. Stoked to get started on this in 2026. we will release job advertisements soon!

Can artificial intelligence predict future research directions in quantum science? Listen to this episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast to discover what is already possible. 🧪⚛️ ow.ly/SMZ150WRg5F

The researchers conducted an empirical study comparing an LLM to human programmers comprehending clean and confusing code. Based on their analysis, both LLMs (via LLM perplexity) and humans (via EEG) are similarly confused about the code. How do Humans and LLMs Process Confusing Code?

Hi, I am here! Will mostly post about Quantum Foundations/Computing and Quantum Music.

Also, our experiment was covered in a video by @hossenfelder.bsky.social : youtu.be/QBO531i5POM?...

Super exciting paper by the groups of Jan-Åke Larsson & Marek Żukowski (two top-experts in Bell's theorem): arxiv.org/abs/2508.19207 They analysed our recent paper on a very strange nonlocal interference effect (science.org/doi/10.1126/...). They found that while the inequality we used ...

Last year, a team identified 47,176,870 as the fifth “busy beaver” number, a quantity tied to one of the hardest problems in computation. They've now found that the sixth number is so big, it's impossible to write without special notation. www.quantamagazine.org/busy-beaver-...

It was such a pleasure being a guest on "Math-Life Balance", a podcast devoted to interviews with mathematicians. Mura Yakerson is a fantastic interviewer! Check out our chat at www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gx8F... #mathsky

AI can improve the design of experiments. “It takes a lot to think this far outside of the accepted solution,” Adhikari said. “We really needed the AI.” www.quantamagazine.org/ai-comes-up-...

🚀 Excited to share our latest Review paper published in Nature Reviews Chemistry, exploring how machine learning (ML), when integrated with high-throughput experimental and computational data, can accelerate the discovery and design of heterogeneous catalysts. Paper link: lnkd.in/eYQkUsWn [1/5]

This year quantum physics turns 100, so @nature.com decided to conduct the biggest ever survey of what lies behind it. Do physicists really believe in multiple universes? Can influences happen instantaneously? Is the Copenhagen interpretation all it's cut out to be? ⚛️🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Any advice on how to use BlueSky efficiently? On X, "For You" does a great job showing interesting content. But here, "Following" feels purely chronological (dominated by frequent posters), and "Discover" mostly shows irrelevant topics. Please comment suggestions, or Share if u have same question.

We show how to estimate the impact of research ideas before they were even born -- just published in #MLST [paper] iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... [GitHub]: github.com/artificial-s... spearheaded by @xmgu.bsky.social Important for future artificial muses, to generate impactful new ideas.

Any advice on how to use BlueSky efficiently? On X, the "For You" tab does a great job showing interesting content. But on BlueSky, "Following" feels purely chronological (dominated by frequent posters), and "Discover" mostly shows politics and irrelevant topics. How do you get the most out of it?

Physicist Mario Krenn uses artificial intelligence to discover new experimental techniques at the frontiers of physics and microscopy. He also develops algorithms that predict and suggest personalized research questions and ideas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_2Z...

When AI is both setting the research agenda and doing the experiments, where does that leave scientists?
