As true in the UK as it is in the US. There’s literally a levy on international students and it’s precipitated a slow-motion crisis. The UK government could step in at any time.

New paper! arxiv.org/abs/2607.26156 ⚛️🧪 We study disorder-free localisation (DFL) - an intriguing phenomenon where dynamical degrees of freedom become localised and frozen, in the absence of the strong disorder (such as a random on-site magnetic field) normally needed to induce this effect. 🧵
Whew, the editors of @science.org are getting real.
The Assault On Science Funding Continues
science.org
🧵 Public science in the US has taken some heavy hits over the last year, but the White House OMB is proposing a series of changes that will result in a TKO for science as we know it unless we fight back. Here's what's happening, and why it matters. 1/n
I’m 95% of the way towards publishing in Nature. The remaining 5% of work is focused on obtaining a groundbreaking result and writing it up.

Equality is not conditional. Dignity at work is not negotiable. The EHRC Code of Practice has been published. UCU is examining it urgently. This is a significant and unsettling moment and we will not leave branches to navigate it alone. www.ucu.org.uk/article/1451...

Physicists: please consider signing this open letter of support: nottinghamphysics.github.io/Open_Letter/ The University wants to cut a third of academic and related staff from the School of Physics and Astronomy.

Yesterday, 56 of our fab colleagues at the Physics & Astronomy dept in Nottingham, received “at risk of redundancy” letters. The Uni is planning to reduce the size of the Physics dept by almost a third.🧪⚛️🔭 Sign this petition to show them your support ✍️: nottinghamphysics.github.io/Open_Letter/
Astronomer Royal for Scotland | Catherine Heymans@astroroyalscot.bsky.social · 3mo agoSTFC cuts will accelerate the closure of UK physics departments, even though everyone recognises the importance & value of physics to UK PLC. Physics is explicitly listed as an area affected by planned compulsory redundancies at Nottingham. So sad to see this. www.theguardian.com/education/20...
In the May 12th edition: - Quantum simulation of magnetic materials - Photonic quantum machine learning - quantum metrology via partial quantum error correction - Real-time QLDPC decoding - Quantum simulation of quantum non-equilibrium steady state More details and links below:
A trapped-ion quantum computer can experimentally simulate the stochastic dynamics of interacting open quantum systems in two dimensions using quantum trajectories. This enables the study of non-equilibrium transport phenomena. arxiv.org/abs/2605.08350
Quantum trajectory simulation of two-dimensional non-equilibrium steady states with a trapped ion quantum processor
Digital quantum computers offer a promising route for studying complex many-body systems that are otherwise inaccessible by their classical counterparts. Capabilities including mid-circuit measurement...

Every affiliated trade union has said that Keir Starmer cannot lead us into the next election and calls for a new leader. We need to show that we’ve learnt from the government’s mistakes and get on with delivering the change that people expected. 1/2

2,700 staff at the University of Nottingham have received 'at risk' letters from the management. The same management which refused to cut their own pay, and the same management which refused to resign after losing £60 million on a disastrous attempt to build a new campus. #JoinAUnion

New paper from our group today! arxiv.org/abs/2605.08350 Using a quantum computer, we simulated trajectories of an open quantum system - that is, one that interacts with the surrounding environment, in this case by injecting particles at one end of a 2D lattice and removing them from the other. ⚛️🧪
This is a full-frontal attack on academic freedom. I hope some thesis advisors there will be brave enough to challenge it.

Watched the new Spiderman trailer, why is *this* the moment I’m excited by? 😅 (No, not Bruce Banner, what’s behind him!)
I know so many immensely talented people who are just not going to get jobs in academia. The number of post-docs and job openings is so much lower than just a few years ago. The conditions are brutal.
It’s Christmas Eve, I’m on holiday in France, and somehow I’m getting emails from a journal chasing me up about whether I’m going to review a paper. They want me to reply within 3 days! Even their own offices are closed right now, according to their website…
Solidarity with @uonucu.bsky.social members striking over the possible 200+ job cuts at the University of Nottingham, after 650 staff lost their jobs in the past two years. I also share their deep concerns about new plans to suspend 48 courses, including nursing, modern languages, and music.
