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.
We're pleased to announce the key dates for QIP 2027, as follows (refer to the website qipconference.org/2027/ for up-to-date information). We look forward to your participation!

Uniqueness of Purifications Is Equivalent to Haag Duality
The uniqueness of purifications of quantum states on a system $A$ up to local unitary transformations on a purifying system $B$ is central to quantum information theory. We show that, if the two syste...

Here's a picture of the four of us at my defense some weeks ago.
The thesis is based on a series of works with my wonderful collaborators @stotti-alex.bsky.social, Reinhard Werner, and @arrr.de. I'm grateful for the wonderful time I had as a PhD student in Hanover!

Entanglement in von Neumann Algebraic Quantum Information Theory
In quantum systems with infinitely many degrees of freedom, states can be infinitely entangled across a pair of subsystems, but are there different forms of infinite entanglement? To understand entang...

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.
The Trotter product formula has countless applications from quantum simulation to numerical analysis—but sharp error bounds, especially for unbounded Hamiltonians, are often hard. We prove new state-dependent bounds and apply them to Schrödinger, Dirac and Coulomb dynamics: doi.org/10.1007/s102...
Convergence Rates for the Trotter Splitting for Unbounded Operators - Foundations of Computational Mathematics
We study convergence rates of the Trotter splitting $$\begin{aligned} e^{A+L} = \lim _{n \rightarrow \infty } \Big (e^{L/n} e^{A/n}\Big )^n \end{aligned}$$ e A + L = lim n → ∞ ( e L / n e A / n ) n in the strong operator topology. In the first part, we use complex interpolation theory to treat generators L and A of contraction semigroups on Banach spaces, with L relatively A-bounded. In the second part, we study unitary dynamics on Hilbert spaces and develop a new technique based on the concept of energy constraints. Our results provide a complete picture of the convergence rates for the Trotter splitting for all common types of Schrödinger and Dirac operators, including singular, confining and magnetic vector potentials, as well as molecular many-body Hamiltonians in dimension $$d=3$$ d = 3 . Using the Brezis-Mironescu inequality, we derive convergence rates for the Schrödinger operator with $$V(x)=\pm |x|^{-a}$$ V ( x ) = ± | x | - a potential. In each case, our conditions are fully explicit.

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...
