@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.

Raymond Laflamme 1960-2025. A great scientist, renowned for his pioneering contributions to quantum error correction. A great leader, founding director of the Institute for Quantum Computing. A great colleague and teacher whose legacy continues to inspire us. uwaterloo.ca/institute-fo...

We are absolutely delighted that former IOP President Professor Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell has been appointed Companion of Honour, one of the nation's highest honours, in today's #KingsHonours2025

EPCC will be joining the fun at the #BigBangFair from 17-19 June. Meet our team at Stand 141 to learn all about high performance computing systems and experience parallel scaling in the ball-sorting challenge! edin.ac/4n2xGvJ

Hans Briegel telling us how to do GenAI with measurement based quantum computing. Lots of MBQC today, Richard Jozsa related it to IQP, and more from Elham Kashefi after lunch at #FQC2025 in Edinburgh, part of the #quantumfringe. (see alt text re colours in photo)

Glasgow Science Festival @physicsstrath.bsky.social a little tricky to find us under building refurb but worth the effort for rocket building, detecting gravity, measuring time and other fun stuff

PSDI is a vision for how the physical sciences can transition to become a fully connected & digital discipline. Data needs in research are growing at unimaginable rates, & this programme is at the forefront of developing an integrated & consistent technological environment for researchers nationwide

“There is a great deal of knowledge that is curated and passed on from the CoSeC communities that has helped us make these essential connections:” An interview with CCP-QC Chair Prof Viv Kendon @quantumviv.bsky.social www.cosec.ac.uk/impact/there...

There are now over 2000 UK academic signatories to our open letter in support of trans rights & inclusion, along with hundreds of other UK educators & international supporters. It's heartening to see such support from colleagues for our trans siblings. #NotInOurName docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Day 2 of BQIT:25 gets underway with a virtual talk on CV quantum computing from Nicolas Menicucci, followed by talks on write-only quantum memories and quantum chemistry! #BQIT #QETLabs

Want to use one of the fastest quantum simulators but hate writing python or C++? I've just open sourced a project with high level Rust bindings for Qulacs. github.com/quantinuum-d... Still reasonably unstable but hopefully minimally usable now!

Shushmi from @physicsstrath.bsky.social presenting her poster on quantum benchmarking of D-Wave at #BQIT in Bristol

The poster sessions provide a fitting conclusion to an exciting first day at #QCTIP2025.

poster session B at #QCTIP on day one in Berlin

This was @quantumviv.bsky.social Apparently there’s a #quantumComputing meeting Wed-Fri at Frei Uni Berlin.

We need a massive campaign for pub(lic space) bathrooms to be classified only by the equipment therein. This week's legal decision makes discrimination against trans people *permissible*, not *compulsory*. It does not *mandate* the bad outcome. Joints can choose to be good.

Posting this for the umpteenth time.

we've moved to Zulip for this reason ...

AQC 2025 abstract deadline *tomorrow* (15th April) aqc25.phas.ubc.ca conference in Vancouver @ UBC June 9 - 12 for all things on quantum annealing and related quantum computing topics.

Hey. The fragmentation of the social media landscape has been hard on indie #scicomm 🧪 projects So if you'd like to follow a podcast that's enthusiastic about #linguistics, could you check out @lingthusiasm.bsky.social? And if you think your followers might like to, could you give this a repost?

Nice reporting on how advances in the theory of partial differential equations led to great savings in energy use.

Applying standardized vocabularies, ontologies, and controlled terms ensures that data is accurately described, easily searchable, and seamlessly integrated across disciplines.

BREAKING🚨 -We've investigated the financial links between MPs and the private health sector, and can now announce which MP received the highest donation amount from individuals+companies with links to the private health sector between 2023-2025. It's Wes Streeting. Our Health Secretary. £179,575🚨

Not just private companies @simonxix.com - the UK government pretty much told vendors back in 2019 that Education was a market ripe to be exploited in this report assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5ca360...

Research groups have called again and again for the UK's sky high upfront visa costs to be reduced, in the name of attracting more top quality scientists Tucked away in a response to a Lords science committee report the govt has rejected the idea, @annamckie.bsky.social reports

Academics travelling to the US need to be aware of this - if hotel costs count as illegal work, any paid for speaking invitations could put us at risk.

Absolutely this. Scotland tried to warn our neighbours, here on Brexit Island, but they went ahead and believed the hatemongers. What a grim mess the narrative being churned out of the London-based parties now is.

This is how the internet began. We’re far from those early days, but defending those spaces is more important than ever. #Beijing30 #FeministInternet #CSW69

Wrote up a little tutorial + review on higher-order quantum operations. If you love quantum channels, you can think of these as linear maps that act on channels themselves in manner fully consistent with quantum theory! I hope it helps future students / researchers! 🤗 arxiv.org/abs/2503.09693
