Those are going to be some big shoes to fill. If we can fill them at all...
I for one am extremely grateful for the advice and support Peter showed me when I started at JKU as a young assistant professor almost 5 years ago. Thank you, Peter!

happy to see the proud quantum legacy of my homecountry 'tunnel' into unexpected application regimes. Go team ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น! :-D

Um den Einsatz der JKU Forscher*innen im Bereich Wissenschaftkommunikation zu wรผrdigen, wurden die Kepler Awards ins Leben gerufen. Das Interesse war enorm: Es gab mehr als 90 Einreichungen, die sich in vielfรคltigen Initiativen engagieren. Wir gratulieren alle Gewinner*innen!๐Ÿ† http://go.jku.at/n25l7

Huge thanks to the team at the 'Knieambulanz' of UKH Linz -- in particular Dr. Daniel Hoefler -- for acting on this MRI data and excellently perform, in total, three surgeries to make my knee (almost) whole again!

Richard Kรผng: Quanten machen den Alltag wieder mรถglich | Quanten in deinem Alltag @ JKU Linz
YouTube video by Johannes Kepler Universitรคt Linz Richard Kรผng: Quanten machen den Alltag wieder mรถglich | Quanten in deinem Alltag @ JKU Linz

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:

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. ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น

What a great event -- thanks for organizing, @abgrilo.bsky.social. And thanks for recommending the lectures, including mine. This mean a lot coming from you!
Lecture notes for my part are also available here: www.jku.at/fileadmin/gr...

Last week I had fun teaching quantum complexity at the kaleidoscope research school at CIRM, Marseille ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿฅ–: (conferences.cirm-math.fr/3225.html. Amazing location, great atmosphere and, finally, enough blackboard space for a lecture of yours truly! ๐Ÿ˜‹

I can only agree. Great location, great people and great atmosphere throughout. Happy to have been a part of it!

great, that you are thinking along similar directions. Happy to discuss this project (perhaps after the TQC PC deadline ๐Ÿ˜…).

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!

This is fantastic news, congratulations! Way to go, @mariokrenn.bsky.social. And well deserved, of course. ๐Ÿพ

Astute observation, Mostafa. Boring reason: computational complexity is a mandatory course, while Quantum computing is an elective.

hi @rdvquantum.bsky.social! And thanks for reaching out -- this bluesky world is very new and exciting for me. Reminds me of the good old days on 'that other' short-message platform.

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!
