I’m happy to share that my recent work has been published in Quantum Science and Technology!

We introduce a simple protocol whereby quantum correlations can be generated by performing LOCAL operations only, starting with a classically correlated state.

Comments welcome!

I love seeing supervisors elevate their students like this! Wish more did πŸ˜„

Today I was asked in an interview about folks who use the weirdness of ✨quantum✨ to hawk pseudoscience junk. I think that kind of grift proliferates because of a big misunderstanding a lot of folks have about quantum mechanics, which is not really their fault!

Saw these climbing shoes on sale earlier… there’ll be articles on quantum bouldering before you know it

A kind reminder to everyone that the golden rule of peer review is "Do not write a review that you wouldn't want to receive yourself." Even rejection can be done in a way that is helpful to the authors. If a paper is not in your area, you should decline reviewing it instead of rejecting by default.

This is interesting, thanks for sharing!

Finally got round to generating my scholargoggler.com academic word cloud! Managed to sneak in both β€˜analyse’ and β€˜analyze’ 😬

Little known fact: in Australia, the Bloch sphere has 0 at the bottom and 1 at the top

Really adore QC Since Democritus. Scott’s introduction to the maths of QC in that book is so elegant, maybe I’ll re-read it again 😁

I hope not because I don’t want that responsibility either πŸ˜†

By popular demand, here is a starter pack of all quantum PhD students on BlueSky that we could find.

Hey! I’m a British PhD student in the area of quantum information theory. To the other PhD students on this app: I want to follow you!! πŸ˜„
