what are \infty-functors in this language? parametric^*-values?

Lots of fun representation theory!

Measuring Multiparticle Indistinguishability with the Generalized Bunching Probability The indistinguishability of many bosons undergoing passive linear transformations followed by number basis measurements is fully characterized by its visible state. However, measuring all of the param...

Excited to share our new paper! We prove that Lieb’s permanental dominance conjecture, which has been open for over half a century, is equivalent to a certain conjecture about the bunching behavior of bosons.

I’m an award-winning mathematician. Trump just cut my funding. The “Mozart of Math” tried to stay out of politics. Then it came for his research.

I wrote an op-ed on the world-class STEM research ecosystem in the United States, and how this ecosystem is now under attack on multiple fronts by the current administration: newsletter.ofthebrave.org/p/im-an-awar...

Peter Shor receives a small gift on the 30th anniversary of his QEC paper at #QEC2025.

Very exciting announcement, the next Quantum Error Correction conference QEC26 will be hosted by Google 7-12 June 2026 in Santa Barbara. See you there! @dripto.bsky.social @mattmcewen.bsky.social
