Submission deadline: 31 October 2025
Workshop: 16–20 March 2026

When you realize the whole yearly budget for Quantum journal is equal to 8 Nature APCs - and they don't even wreck your paper in proof stage because...there is none

Our research group is seeking a talented and motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join us in advancing the practical realisation of quantum technologies (including quantum error correction and mitigation). The deadline is 06 October 2025: tinyurl.com/bdhf3hzt

yes, something like this. it was already considered by arxiv admins

187 total entries for quant-ph on a single day suggests it might be time to split up quant-ph into at least two separate categories:

I really wish people would stop using AI to write their papers for them, but I think this is a hopeless wish that will not come true.

This paper identifies the communication capacity for sending information from the future to the past through a noisy closed timelike curve. The formula is reminiscent of mutual info but in general can be larger.

thanks a lot! I submitted the form. Let's see what happens.

(In other news, I randomly ran into Michael Lawler on my way to lunch yesterday and we had a pleasant lunch together.)

Things would be a bit easier if the Oxford English dictionary could add the following words:

infimization
infimize
supremization
supremize

I think mathematicians use these words regularly even though they are not official English words.

Solving Optimal Power Flow using a Variational Quantum Approach The optimal power flow (OPF) is a large-scale optimization problem that is central in the operation of electric power systems. Although it can be posed as a nonconvex quadratically constrained quadrat...

Joint work "Solving Optimal Power Flow using a Variational Quantum Approach" w/ Thinh Viet Le & Vassilis Kekatos:

Optimal power flow (OPF) is an optimization problem central in the operation of electric power systems. We propose a variational q. paradigm for solving OPF.

Bluesky CEO: I turned a Twitter research project into a rival company—'we've achieved what a lot of people said was impossible' Under CEO Jay Graber, social media company Bluesky has grown to 38 million registered users while weathering large-scale challenges over the past few years.

From a Twitter research project to an independent rival — Bluesky’s journey under CEO Jay Graber shows how a decentralized, user-first platform gained millions users by prioritizing control & openness in social media. A true alternative in a billionaire-dominated space. www.cnbc.com/2025/08/29/b...

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

My colleague's submission was rejected from QCRYPT, but he indicated that several people have been coming up to him during the lunch breaks to tell him how useful his result is and how they have been making use of it in their own work.

Does that make up for the rejection? :)

Our CEO @jfitzsimons.bsky.social presented our unique approach to quantum programming at Q2B Silicon Valley 2024.

This year’s Q2B will see us showcase further technical breakthroughs and progress towards building the most capable and easy-to-use tools to write complex programs for quantum hardware.
