AQC 2022 talks are online, including Puya Mirkarimi presenting this work arxiv.org/abs/2206.06876 on the hardness of Max 2-SAT problems for different algorithms indico.ictp.it/event/9803/ses…

Come down to Palace Green today where @puyamirkarmi and Durham Quantum Light and Matter are all ready to Celebrate Science! #CelebrateScience2022

Extraordinary speech by Masih Alinejad 🏳️ #Time #women of the year

Earlier today some QLM members went to look at the art on display for this year’s Student Art Prize Durham University - including an entry by one of our students, Puya Mirkarimi. The competition’s theme is “Sanctuary”, and Puya’s piece spotlights Iranian protests for women’s rights.

Comparing the hardness of MAX 2-SAT problem instances for quantum and classical algorithms, Puya Mirkarimi, Adam Callison, Lewis Light, Nicholas Chancellor, and Viv Kendon Puya Mirkarimi Adam Callison @QntmChancellor Viv Kendon #QuantumInformation go.aps.org/3oMh8Pc

Had a great time with my team at the NQCC Quantum Hackathon coding quantum algorithms for optimising vaccination centre locations, which we received the third place prize for. Thank you to Applied Quantum Computing for the guidance and Amazon Web Services and IonQ for hardware access.

The Islamic Republic has sentenced Toomaj Salehi, a people's singer, to death for singing protest songs and reflecting the voice of the Iranian people. Today, tonight, and until Toomaj's freedom, we shout the name Toomaj Salehi as one voice. #ToomajSalehi #FreeToomaj
