Are #quantum proofs (solutions) stronger than classical proofs? I cover this in my latest blog- bit.ly/4sv0L5j Thank you Chinmay Nirkhe, @johnbostanci.bsky.social Andrew Huang, John Wright, Fermi Ma & Anand Natarajan for the engaging chat! #ComplexityTheory #TheoreticalComputerScience

Using classical oracles to differentiate quantum complexity classes

Research in quantum complexity classes QMA and QCMA explores whether quantum proofs are superior to classical proofs. Progress shows quantum solutions can be more efficiently verified, leading to i…

This was a fun piece to write! I learnt quite a bit about the evolution of #math symbols while working on it. Thank you Alex Bellos, Amir Alexander, Kate Kitagawa, Raul Rojas & @sarah-hart.bsky.social for the nice conversations. #algebra #MathHistory #geometry

Did you know the + symbol wasn’t used for addition until the 1400s? How did people do simple sums before that? We explain. https://www.snexplores.org/article/where-math-symbols-came-from

Third week of retirement and Lothar is doing much better. The sun is shining and the research project I came up with (to distract him) is going well, just like our first paper together. FIngers crossed we can finish this as fast. In theory it could go on arxiv for our 35th anniversary 🥰. 1/2

100 % agree, especially for #firstgen students support networks & mentoring programmes can make a huge difference. 🤍

“Becoming part of a mentoring scheme is also some of the advice I would give to my 18-year-old self too — to look out for networking opportunities and mentorship programmes; to find people who have chosen a similar path.” - Christina Runkel ➡️ hermathsstory.eu/christina-ru... #HerMathsStory

5 years ago today, Her Maths Story went live with our 1st story. What started as a small idea has grown into a global, supportive community celebrating #WomenInMaths. We’re deeply grateful to everyone who has shared, read, supported & believed in this journey. Here’s to the stories still to come 💛✨

A dark blue celebratory graphic marking the 5-year anniversary of Her Maths Story. The HMS logo appears at the top. Large white text reads “5 years” in the centre, surrounded by yellow star shapes. Additional text highlights milestones: 99 contributors, 200K website visitors, 194 countries reached via the website, and 4.9K followers across social media platforms.

"I read a lot of mathematical literature and noticed with regret that, over the course of history, presentations had become more sober and formal, and that human emotions and accompanying epistemological considerations had been largely stripped away in the face of mathematical discoveries." 👈

“(...) It is possible to create an authentic picture of #mathematics and convey an impression of how mathematics forms its own world of well-ordered structures with a striking internal consistency (...)” - Lisa Hefendehl-Hebeker ➡️ hermathsstory.eu/lisa-hefende... #HerMathsStory

Portrait of Lisa Hefendehl-Hebeker, a senior professor, smiling at the camera. She has short curly gray hair, wears glasses and a blue patterned blouse, and stands in front of a blue FAU backdrop. The image includes the Her Maths Story logo and her name and title.
