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!

After 20 years, researchers finally have strong evidence that “quantum proofs” are more powerful than ordinary classical ones. The results suggest that at least in computation, there’s no way around the complexity of the quantum world. Read more in @quantamagazine.bsky.social:

Researchers Reveal the Power of ‘Quantum Proofs’ | Quanta Magazine

When checking that solutions to certain problems are correct, it turns out, you can’t get around the inherent complexity of the quantum world.

I'm happy to share that our paper "Symmetry-Accelerated Classical Simulation of Clifford-Dominated Circuits" is now published in PRX Quantum! Many thanks to Giulio, Filipa, and Juani for the great collaboration! journals.aps.org/prxquantum/a...

Symmetry-Accelerated Classical Simulation of Clifford-Dominated Circuits

Strong and weak symmetry reductions render optimal stabilizer decompositions tractable for multiqubit unitaries beyond previous limits.

Mmmh #qip2026 ... (The map is awesome btw!)

Theo Sanderson@theo.io · 6mo ago

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

The Cluster of Excellence ML4Q is offering fellowships to outstanding postdoctoral researchers on quantum computing and networking architectures based on solid-state physics, quantum optics, and quantum information science ml4q.de/ml4q-fellows...

100% agree. Especially since we have author IDs that are matched to the papers when they are claimed!

Sophie Huiberts@sophie.huiberts.me · 6mo ago

Arxiv's lack of commitment to its author page feature is so disappointing. Why, when I click on the link that is an author's name, am I sent to a search page of "F. Lastname"? This is ridiculous

This year's Quantum Computing Theory in Practice Conference (QCTiP) is scheduled for 04/20/2026-04/25/2026 in Oxford, UK 🇬🇧: qctipconf.github.io Talk submission deadline is just round the corner: 01/11/2026. Looking forward to many exciting contributions and a great time in Hogwarts🪄, aehm Oxford🎓.

Dominik Hangleiter weighs in with an informative post about a much debated question: Has quantum advantage been achieved? This is the first post in a three-part series. quantumfrontiers.com/2026/01/06/h...

Has quantum advantage been achieved?

Recently, I gave a couple of perspective talks on quantum advantage, one at the annual retreat of the CIQC and one at a recent KITP programme. I started off by polling the audience on who believed …

I just received a paper for a Springer journal that was obviously LLM-generated, complete with non-existent theorems, missing proofs, and hallucinated references. The journal has double-blind review. You see the problem? Stone thrown, hand hidden. No one to name-shame.

Now published in PRX Quantum: A robust control framework based on optimized pulse sequences enables faithful realization of arbitrary local Hamiltonians, scaling efficiently to hundreds of qubits. Together with @markusheinrich.bsky.social and Martin Kliesch. go.aps.org/3MmZa10

Are you a student or early-career researcher in quantum computing or quantum information? Then the following is for you. We're organising a focused, community-driven conference at Leibniz Universität Hannover, hosted by Prof. Robert Raussendorf. 🗓️ Save the date: August 27–29, 2025

From Barbara Terhal: On July 17-18 a small symposium "Dreams of Quantum" will be held in honor of David DiVincenzo's work and retirement at RWTH Aachen. The event can be attended by all via a Zoom link. www.quantuminfo.physik.rwth-aachen.de/cms/~bmmwed

Some statistical features of Haar unitaries can be well approximated in log depth, exponentially faster than previously thought. We give evidence that this is a 'truly quantum' effect by deriving linear lower bounds for orthogonal, Clifford, symplectic, matchgate groups scirate.com/arxiv/2506.2...

Will it glue? On short-depth designs beyond the unitary group

We provide a range of results on several groups of broad interest in quantum information science: the Clifford group, the orthogonal group, the unitary symplectic groups, and the matchgate group. For ...
