Today, we mark 33 years since the people of #Czechia & #Slovakia peacefully ended the authoritarian communist regime in the #VelvetRevolution. Freedom & democracy are values that aren’t given—they must be cherished and defended.

Wondering how #quantum Twitter would answer a question we got at a panel at UNSW Engineering yesterday. Which one would happen first:

While UK, Canada and the US process visas in 15 days, International PhD and post-doctoral students are waiting up to three years to have their visas approved, with one year considered normal. bit.ly/3GRot6D

OpenAI's new ChatGPT explains the worst-case time complexity of the bubble sort algorithm, with Python code examples, in the style of a fast-talkin' wise guy from a 1940's gangster movie:

ChatGPT is a good at a lot things but quantum information isn't one of them.

If you wanted to build a building saying "Don't mess with us" you could hardly do better than the Pentagon.

New paper dance! In this paper we Alexis Shaw Quantum Technology at Scale group @ UTS, Daniel and Alexandru investigate how thin we can make a quantum memory without significantly jeopardizing the threshold. Answer: 19 qubits (with many caveats). scirate.com/arxiv/2212.015…

Twitter doesn't allow people posting about joining a social network starting with mast and ending with odon so here we go

The 6th International Conference on Quantum Error Correction, QEC’23, will be held 30 October - 3 November 2023 in Sydney, Australia. More details soon!

Our quantum algorithm for a network of oscillators is out. The network can be simulated on a quantum computer with an exponential speedup. We also show an oscillator network of exponential size can simulate a quantum computation. arxiv.org/abs/2303.13012

In our new paper on arXiv today, Craig Gidney and I explain the techniques we used to make PyMatching 100x-1000x faster: arxiv.org/abs/2303.15933 Our sparse blossom algorithm is a variant of the blossom algorithm that directly solves the decoding problem relevant to QEC. 1/

when you spend 5 years doing a quantum PhD and the technology is still 15 years away with limited use-cases

I honestly thought the talks last week at IPAMs workshop on Mathematical Aspects of Quantum Learning were perhaps the highest quality of any conference I’ve been to. Or maybe I just like this stuff (and the LA sun just put me in a good mood). Either way, you can check them out 👇

At Google Quantum AI, we put an emphasis on bridging the gap between art & science. We walked PBS News through the artwork in our #QuantumComputing lab created in partnership with artist @foreststearns. Watch ↓ goo.gle/3vzBr5B

The Hamiltonian Jungle has expanded! In our latest update we unravel the secrets of Cluster Expansions, C*-Algebras, and MCMC. We also explore the complexities of Stoquastic Hamiltonians and Partition Functions. Explore the jungle at hamiltonianjungle.xyz!

The week before ISAAC'24, on Dec 3-6, we're organising a 🧑‍🎓 Summer School on "Recent Trends in Algorithms" in Sydney: Algorithmic Fairness, Quantum Computing, Data Structures, Privacy! It's free, and we have travel funding for undergrad and grad students: sites.google.com/view/sydney-tc…

We're looking for a colleague at UTS:QSI . If you're an established researcher in quantum computing, apply at the link below or get in touch if you have questions! recruitment.uts.edu.au/OA_HTML/OA.jsp…

It's an active day on the arXiv for the QSI team! Two papers emerging from the DARPA Quantum Benchmarking program (scirate.com/arxiv/2406.187… and scirate.com/arxiv/2406.187…) and another (scirate.com/arxiv/2406.190…) by Dr Zixin Huang a fellow at Macquarie and long-term visitor to our Centre.
