I'm delighted happy to feature on the homepage of Die Zeit @diezeit.bsky.social today, for the first in a new feature of theirs, called "Just One Question", launching across print, online, audio, video, & newsletter www.zeit.de/wissen/2025-...
Blog post: "Actually, you can't test if quantum uses complex numbers" algassert.com/post/2501 I doom the concept of that 2021 Nature paper by showing how to compile any distributed quantum protocol into real-only gates while preserving locality.
A nice historical look at the origins of the Ising model. www.arxiv.org/abs/2509.00632
Origins of the Ising model
In 1925, Ernest Ising published a paper analyzing a model proposed in 1920 by Wilhelm Lenz for ferromagnetism. The model is composed of constituent units that take only two states and interact only wh...

Big grant news today! I feel very lucky and honored for this opportunity from @erc.europa.eu . We will attempt to go for a big qualitative step up in how we use AI/ML to predict how particles interact with matter. Stoked to get started on this in 2026. we will release job advertisements soon!

The researchers conducted an empirical study comparing an LLM to human programmers comprehending clean and confusing code. Based on their analysis, both LLMs (via LLM perplexity) and humans (via EEG) are similarly confused about the code. How do Humans and LLMs Process Confusing Code?
Hi, I am here! Will mostly post about Quantum Foundations/Computing and Quantum Music.

Last year, a team identified 47,176,870 as the fifth “busy beaver” number, a quantity tied to one of the hardest problems in computation. They've now found that the sixth number is so big, it's impossible to write without special notation. www.quantamagazine.org/busy-beaver-...

The quest to find the longest-running simple computer program has identified a new champion. It’s physically impossible to write out the numbers involved using standard mathematical notation.

🚀 Excited to share our latest Review paper published in Nature Reviews Chemistry, exploring how machine learning (ML), when integrated with high-throughput experimental and computational data, can accelerate the discovery and design of heterogeneous catalysts. Paper link: lnkd.in/eYQkUsWn [1/5]
This year quantum physics turns 100, so @nature.com decided to conduct the biggest ever survey of what lies behind it. Do physicists really believe in multiple universes? Can influences happen instantaneously? Is the Copenhagen interpretation all it's cut out to be? ⚛️🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about reality, Nature survey shows
First major attempt to chart researchers’ views finds interpretations in conflict.
