Happy to support the Atomic Quantum Matter 2026 | Sep 7–11 @istaresearch.bsky.social Join the international community working on quantum gas microscopes, tweezer arrays & many-body quantum systems for a week of talks, posters & collaboration. 🔗 atomic-quantum-matter2026.pages.ist.ac.at #AQM26

First time I'm seeing arxiv.wiki (it's now (?) automatically linked on scirate. Looks like a great initiative, right up my alley!

🚨Paper alert🚨 We propose a new way to analyse quantum simulator snapshots: 📏 distance learning 📏 It maps symmetry-broken and topological phases diagrams, probes criticality, universality, and many-body physics more generally 🧵 scirate.com/arxiv/2603.1...

🔬 A mysterious state of matter - the pseudogap - may hold the key to deciphering #superconductivity. Using a quantum simulator, a team led by #LMU physicist Immanuel Bloch, member of @mcqst.bsky.social shows how subtle magnetic patterns shape this enigmatic phase. www.lmu.de/en/newsroom/...

Hidden order in quantum chaos: the pseudogap

In a quantum simulator LMU and MPQ physicists reveal how subtle magnetic patterns shape one of the most puzzling states of matter - an important step towards understanding superconductivity.

⚛️ LMU physicist and newly appointed professor Annabelle Bohrdt brings order to quantum chaos. “We want to understand what many quantum particles do when they interact with each other” - a simple question behind one of the most complex problems in modern physics. #LMUMunich #Physics

Order in quantum chaos

A new member of the LMU family, quantum physicist Annabelle Bohrdt wants to know what holds materials together in their innermost core.

Although 2025 was absolutely shocking in terms of the cruelty of powerful people, science can still be a refuge from it. A highlight for me was retreating to the mountains to teach at the Les Houches Summer School. Here are my lecture notes: arxiv.org/abs/2512.24390

Les Houches Lectures Notes on Tensor Networks

Tensor networks provide a powerful new framework for classifying and simulating correlated and topological phases of quantum matter. Their central premise is that strongly correlated matter can only b...

I've complained a couple times about the lack of physics community here but not done much about it! New commitment: I'll post one interesting arXiv paper a day until things are better. (To the folks who follow me for non-physics science policy, don't worry; plenty more of that reporting to come.)
