I wonder if I should start submitting my papers to physics.pop-ph instead of quant-ph in order to have fewer competing papers in the same arXiv subcategory. Only two entries during the past week!

it seems that the QI community has already decided on the new rules: 1) buy the most expensive model of ChatGPT 2) feed it your favorite open research question / conjecture 3) have it find the solution for you and possibly even write the paper 4) post the result to the arXiv with your name on it

This text has moved me deeply. I think we, as a species, have opened a door that we cannot close anymore. It will bring many advances, and some good will hopefully come from that, but we pay a price, the price of losing something profound. kirwinhampshire.substack.com/p/the-dark-n...

Quantum Information Processing research in the age of AI

Dear colleagues, Over the past weeks there have been more and more results in which AI models played a crucial role, not only in mathematics and theoretical computer science, but right at the heart o...

We as a community would have been much more at peace with the present situation if it would have been quantum computers solving all of the open problems in quantum information theory, rather than large language models

AI hallucination in arxiv.org/abs/2607.24968 I can confirm that this paper does not exist! I've never published in PRE! journals.aps.org/search/resul...

goodness, I have never seen a more professional proof editing system than that offered by the Royal Society. I think I am in love and will now send all my papers to Proc. Royal Soc. A.

Joint work "Canonical quantization of neurons" with Alexander He and Nana Liu out on arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2607.05000 This is a short version of arxiv.org/abs/2605.24386, with slides available at zenodo.org/records/2084...

Canonical quantization of neurons

Canonical quantization provides a systematic procedure for constructing quantum models from classical Hamiltonians. Here, we apply this principle to a fundamental computational primitive of machine le...

I recently submitted my PhD thesis 🎉 I am now planning the next step of my journey. I will stay in Berlin for personal reasons, which makes me curious which research groups and companies would hire postdocs or equivalent for remote positions. If you have any leads, please DM!

Prof. Nana Liu visited our research group for the past month. Very delightful and productive discussions!

"Onset of superactivation of quantum capacity", joint work w/ Marco Parentin, Bjarne Bergh, & Nilanjana Datta now online: arxiv.org/abs/2604.27042 First demonstration of the superactivation effect in the non-asymptotic regime, showing that it can be accomplished w/ just 17 channel uses.

Onset of superactivation of quantum capacity

Superactivation of quantum capacity is the phenomenon whereby two quantum channels, each with zero quantum capacity, can exhibit a strictly positive capacity when used in tandem. In this work, we expl...
