🇦🇹🇭🇺 Austro-Hungarian reunion at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. András Gilyén is probably one of the best quantum algorithm designers out there. He co-developed quantum SDPs, QSVT & Gibbs Sampling. No wonder he won an ERC! Happy that he also decided to return to Europe, and proud to be his friend!

💡 Mit einer großen Delegation ist Bundespräsident Alexander Van der Bellen im Mai nach Japan gereist. Mit dabei: die JKU Linz mit ihrem Quantenforscher Richard Küng. Österreich und auch die JKU wird sich auf der EXPO in Osaka präsentieren. 🎌 http://go.jku.at/n25m1 📸 privat

Um den Einsatz der JKU Forscher*innen im Bereich Wissenschaftkommunikation zu würdigen, wurden die Kepler Awards ins Leben gerufen. Das Interesse war enorm: Es gab mehr als 90 Einreichungen, die sich in vielfältigen Initiativen engagieren. Wir gratulieren alle Gewinner*innen!🏆 http://go.jku.at/n25l7

A short info videoabout MRI imaging @jku.at which combines two of my favorite things: quantum technology ('spins') and math of imaging ('Fourier transforms'). It also made a very real difference for my personal life when I had nasty knee injuries: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBfb...

new article in @derstandard.at about how to program a quantum computer (in German): www.derstandard.de/story/300000...

In the shadow of the Hadamard test: Using the garbage state for good and further modifications scirate.com/arxiv/2505.1... This work adds an unexpected twist to the Hadamard test by exploiting previously overlooked information.

www.quantumscience.at volunteered me to host my first proper workshop (~120 participants) at @jku.at. It really hits differently when you do not only welcome your peers at your academic institution, but also your hometown. We had a blast-furnace! @voestalpine.bsky.social steelfactory pun intended. 🇦🇹

Last week I had fun teaching quantum complexity at the kaleidoscope research school at CIRM, Marseille 🇫🇷🥖: (conferences.cirm-math.fr/3225.html. Amazing location, great atmosphere and, finally, enough blackboard space for a lecture of yours truly! 😋 Lecture notes are here: www.jku.at/fileadmin/gr...

Four Tenure-track positions in AI exclusively for female applicants at @jkulinz.bsky.social! Details available soon at www.jku.at/en/lit-artif...

A reminiscing article about our quantum music project 'the sound of entanglement' made it into one of Austria's most reputable newspapers - @derstandard.at. More than 3000 people attended, a truly unbelievable experience. Huge thanks to the entire team and to @ya-oeaw.bsky.social for publishing it!

Last fall I taught two big classes on **computational complexity** (left selfie) and **quantum computing** (right selfie). We had a blast! Lecture notes are here: www.jku.at/fileadmin/gr..., www.jku.at/fileadmin/gr.... It was a lot of work, but now I am happy+proud to share them. Feedback welcome!
