New system: 1. A week before QIP deadline the program committee publishes the titles of all accepted papers. 2. Everyone prompts LLMs for a week to produce these papers. 3. For each title, the best paper gets accepted (decided by an LLM). 4. This week's QIP is over and another QIP happens next week.

Some initial thoughts, and a complicated mix of feelings. Wow. I mean, Erdos problems are cool (I genuinely mean that), I didn't know about the Jacobian conjecture before it got disproved. But this newest batch from OpenAI hits home in a way the previous announcements did not.

Inclined to send around a mail to everyone: Dear colleagues, friends and family, due to the consequences of QIP's post-submission-arXiv-posting-deadline you won't see or hear from me in the next two weeks while I try to catch up with the literature. Thanks for your understanding.

Like embezzlement of entanglement but not von Neumann algebras? Check out arxiv.org/abs/2509.15749 where we show explicitly that generic Gaussian fermionic states provide universal embezzling families. Plus: A novel bound relating trace distance of Gaussian states to their covariance matrices.

Gaussian fermionic embezzlement of entanglement

Embezzlement of entanglement allows to extract arbitrary entangled states from a suitable embezzling state using only local operations while perturbing the resource state arbitrarily little. A natural...

🥳I am very happy to have been awarded an ERC Starting Grant that I will use to start my own group and explore the large-scale entanglement properties of complex quantum systems. This would not have been possible without my fantastic collaborators and supervisors. A big "thank you" to all of you! 🙏

Glad someone took the time to debunk the (obviously nonsensical) claim that Bell inequalities could be violated w/o entanglement. It is astonishing (to say the least) that this claim was made by experienced authors & that it passed peer review in the first place, does not reflect well on the journal

Bell Inequality Violations Without Entanglement? It's Just Postselection

Recently Wang et al. have reported a violation of a Bell inequality without entanglement [arXiv:2507.07756]. We show that their result is an artifact of postselection. It is well known that postselect...
