Just in time for Quantum's 10th anniversary, our paper "Localizing multipartite entanglement with local and global measurements" with students Chris Vairogs and Sam Hermes has been published in Quantum 🥳 Huge congrats to Chris and Sam!

10 years after its founding, driven by the energy, enthusiasm, & dedication of the community @quantum-journal.bsky.social quietly published paper #2000 some days ago.
At least I think this is a big deal, big shout out to the founders & all authors, reviewers, editors, board members & contributors!
Was TCing Gabriel a mistake... Maybe.
Could it have been worse... Definitely!
P.S.: As a Gunner, I'm just really mad about today's game.
I think large parts of this sentiment apply to STEM as well.
It’s going to sound quaint, but the best way to resist an AI takeover of the humanities is to assign physical books, sit around, read them, and argue about ideas. Academic has become such a competitive arena, that we ourselves are trained to look for the winning angle, instead of the best education.
QIS Sloan Fellowships for Anand Natarajan, John Wright, Jake Covey (UIUC) and Isaac Kim, and a non-QIS Sloan for fellow UIUC math member Ben Castle. Congrats!!

Always made me wonder. I guess the geometric nature of GR and the nice pictures people use to explain it have more appeal than a bunch of psi's 🤣
I remember my student times when these crackpots (always older men) would sit through a lecture, to then start yelling how Einstein was wrong, relativity is bullshit, and holding up their handwritten signs and sheets of paper. It was always about gravity, and never about quantum mechanics.
given the existence of skeleton and luge, i postulate the existence of two other, yet to be discovered, winter olympic sports
I had a mini disc player (stereo at home and portable)

"But I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything. One lives only to make blunders."
Charles Darwin, who had a pretty bad day every now and then, was born #OTD in 1809. 🧪

Many thanks to Theshani and Sujeet for seeing this through! I've learned a lot in the process 🤓
Finally, we also consider a private variant of the classical shadows technique to estimate expectation values, identifying settings where this approach gives good protocols.
We then focus on a specific application: estimating the expectation value of an observable w.r.t. a quantum state when only given access to the privatized quantum state. We characterize the sample complexity of this task, for the lower bound by employing private quantum hypothesis testing bounds.
We study privacy-utility tradeoffs in a quantum differential privacy setting.
We first discuss a generic setting and show how depolarizing noise achieves the optimal utility w.r.t. trace distance and fidelity.
New paper "Privacy-Utility Tradeoffs in Quantum Information Processing" with my postdoc Theshani Nuradha and my student Sujeet Bhalerao!

It's worth reading the new version (either on CMP or the arXiv at arxiv.org/abs/2407.07876), since we're giving a streamlined and much more readable proof of our main result!
Our paper on approximate unitary designs in logarithmic depth with Nick LaRacuente is now published in Communications in Mathematical Physics!

My TQC submission.
I bury my head in the sand when I see some of these maps
Yes! hopefully this is the start of a good stretch of competitive seasons
Unbelievable
Whaaaaat. OT here we come. This is so stressful
#GoBears 🐻
Several postdoc positions to work on quantum computing with Simon Devitt, at UTS: quantumts.org/open-positio...
The real reason why you need to submit your slides before the start of #QIP2026 is so that during the conference you have time to work on your #TQC2026 submission.
