New paper dance! Lara Janiurek's first PhD paper! Updated to v2 and submitted to journal. Lays out the method for obtaining the continuum differential equation corresponding to the discrete quantum walk with decoherence, for applications to quantum algorithms.

Harry Buhrman (Quantinuum & U Amsterdam) telling us about quantum heuristics and the process of scientific discovery at the Quantum Informatics cdt launch event in Edinburgh.

New preprint from my group, another collaboration with the groups of David Elkouss and Akihito Soeda. Those guys are *good*, and so are my team, so this is a productive collaboration. arxiv.org/abs/2512.06650 #quantumInternet #quantumcomputing

The ExCALIBUR/DRI session at #CIUK2025 is continuing with talks from current DRI projects. We have SCALE-UP, SHAREing, NFCS and CaSDaR on stage.

Our colleagues are part of two sessions this afternoon at #CIUK25: - Overview of the NetworkPlus Programme - From ExCALIBUR to DRI, linking the UK's compute programmes. They're also at the stands for CAKE and ARCHER2-Cirrus. Come and say hello! edin.ac/4pR8dpL

#CIUK next talk from Hubert Naguszewski (Warwick) on numerical simulation of alloys. A hard problem to do well with Monte Carlo. Compare method with quantum annealing methods in www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This article suggests the possibility of training AI on pre-existing proposals and their review reports, scores and related decisions. I.e. training them on a system which is known to preferentially award larger amounts of money to white men. What could possibly go wrong?

imagine, right, you're applying for a UK visa. our wages suck, bills are high, layoffs are ten a penny, & you find out you're down up to £20k minimum right from the off, alongside thousands and thousands in visa fees. who would find that remotely appealing? this is how you collapse entire industries

#CIUK day two kicked off with the @whpcanz.bsky.social breakfast, now Jason Nucciarone and Dominic Sloan-Murphy telling us about Ubuntu HPC

Weronika from @epcc.bsky.social kicks off the Understanding dRTP landscape breakout at #CIUK25, the first of several #DRI project breakouts and sessions this week. Led by CHARTERED, DisCouRSE and SCALE-UP the session is exploring dRTP roles and progression

#CIUK kicked off in the main hall first with Paul Walker explaining how to use immersion cooling in data centres and now Crispen Keable (Eviden) telling us how Jupiter HPC was built

We are in the process of setting up our stall at #CIUK2025. Looking forward to discuss knowledge exchange in the #DRI community!

Getting going in the first session of the 5th CoSeC conference on day zero of #CIUK conference in Manchester ...

Had a great time at the #RISCVSummit 2025, thanks very much to @riscv.org.web.brid.gy for the invitation to give a keynote about #RISCV in #HPC, was an honour and I also very much enjoyed being a panelist at the #Google breakfast and presenting #HPC #RISCV updates during the member's day

Congratulations to Professor Julia Yeomans @oxfordphysics.bsky.social for winning the Paul Dirac Medal & Prize for her contributions to understanding the collective behaviour of active particles, and her work highlighting the relevance of active physics to living matter 👏 #IOPAwards25

Christina Kerr from DSIT last speaker at the HPC-AI conference in Leicester, telling us about the UK government's 10 year compute plans.

@tobiasweinzierl.bsky.social from @durham.ac.uk kicks off the #HPC #AI UK conference in Leicester this week talking about the #DRI #SHAREing project which is enhancing the accelerated compute ecosystem

Check your Google Scholar profiles. I found an article added to mine that had completely fabricated the authors and abstract, including an author who was born after the publication date ... I think AI filled in the blanks because the first page of the scan is missing online.
