The pleasure was all ours 😁

Thanks @markwilde.bsky.social for illuminating our learning & algorithms seminar with your views on #QBM s, we had a blast :)

To be honest I always thought this is what would happen. Any part of a system that can be fully off-loaded to an automated algorithm could in-principle be removed entirely from the system. No?

I just misunderstood someone, thinking they said "Parametrized Quantum Circus", and tbh I find it quite relatable #QML 🎪🤡 New goal: become known as a quantum clown.

The bad thing about January being way colder than usual, is that now February being as cold as usual is shattering my willpower.

Hats off to the choice of meme 🥲

And, from what she says, she would love spending it too!

Woooooow I wasn't aware @terriblemapshq.bsky.social is on bluesky! This alone made my day. Let's roll!

Were there many advantages of a monopolar world beyond the lower total number of nuclear weapons? (Not that that should be neglected) I guess also the simpler system, but yeah that relies very much on the goodwill of the powerful.

This year's Quantum Computing Theory in Practice Conference (QCTiP) is scheduled for 04/20/2026-04/25/2026 in Oxford, UK 🇬🇧: qctipconf.github.io

Talk submission deadline is just round the corner: 01/11/2026. Looking forward to many exciting contributions and a great time in Hogwarts🪄, aehm Oxford🎓.

This was a fantastic collaboration with colleagues from Berlin and Barcelona (back to the roots!). A heartfelt thank you to my co-authors Sergi Masot-Llima, Carlos Bravo-Prieto, @jenseisert.bsky.social, and Tommaso Guaita ☺️

Prospects for quantum advantage in machine learning from the representability of functions Demonstrating quantum advantage in machine learning tasks requires navigating a complex landscape of proposed models and algorithms. To bring clarity to this search, we introduce a framework that conn...

Very happy about our new pre-print!
Here, we share how we think about potential quadvantage in #QML, from the point of view of the function families that arise from usual Parametrized Quantum Circuits.
Please do let us know what you think about our perspective :)

Improved Lower Bounds for QAC0 In this work, we establish the strongest known lower bounds against QAC$^0$, while allowing its full power of polynomially many ancillae and gates. Our two main results show that: (1) Depth 3 QAC$^0...

Very excited to share a new paper with Malvika Joshi, Avishay Tal, and John Wright on “Improved Lower Bounds for QAC^0”! In this work, we prove the strongest known lower-bounds to date for QAC^0 with the full power of polynomially many ancillae.

We received a similar one in the past, which I found infuriating. My coauthors proposed we calmly reply to it pretending it was serious / written by a human, because the claims and criticisms were hardly about our paper. I still felt we should have loudly complained about it, but we didn't.

Maybe I extrapolated from a small sample size 😇

Observations from #QTML25: when compared to previous editions, memes-on-slides have been almost entirely replaced by emojis-on-slides 🤔

Oh, I'm always bothered when the opposite happens! Curious to know whether there's a one-size-fits-all solution to customizing this at the browser level.

Reposts appreciated!

(I/III) We're excited to announce a new tenure track opening! The position is called 'quantum informatics' and is affiliated with our QUICK group within the CS+AI division at @jku.at 🇦🇹. Application deadline is November 30th, 2025: www.jku.at/en/the-jku/w...

An academic fact whose importance cannot—absolutely cannot—be overstated:

The German saying goes "wer schön sein will muss leiden". My German is not so good, so I understood "wer schön sein will muss *nach* Leiden". Off to spend a couple months @unileiden.bsky.social, to start new projects on #QuantumMachineLearning

Just an observation: my experience flying low-cost in Europe has been approximately constant for 10 years. A similar statement is true about trains and buses. The same is *not* true about cars.

The distracted boyfriend meme, with the "girlfriend" being the relative entropy and the distraction being the computational relative entropy.

You think we already have enough entropies and divergence measures? I don't think so!

In our latest work (arxiv.org/abs/2509.20472), we introduce yet another information theoretic measure -- the computational relative entropy.

Let's have a quick rundown👇

Cool, gotcha.

I love forms! What are you trying to find out? Would you have in mind all corners of QInfo? (Including the more CSy / mathy areas, where the authorship culture is very different from the one in physicsland)

Please get in touch if you are interested in a PhD on the mathematics of quantum information and its applications to learning and communication.

This happy pup just registered for #QTML25! So much looking forward 🥳

Been awhile since I wrote a blog post.

Anyways... why haven't quantum computers factored 21 yet?
