If you are in Germany in February, check out Robert Raussendorf's workshop on Algebraic Structures in Quantum computation with fantastic speakers. I attended some of the previous editions and enjoyed it very much.
I recently served as an external examiner for Larry Cohen's PhD thesis at U of Sydney. Here is a snippet from my review: 'It includes some of the most exciting and inspiring work I read over the past few years on the topics of QLDPC codes and simulation of quantum circuits.'
Ian Affleck 1952-2024. Ian was my office mate, tennis partner, and good friend when we were Harvard graduate students. We were particle theorists then, but Ian is best remembered for his many deep contributions to quantum condensed matter. A great loss. phas.ubc.ca/memoriam-ian-a…
Using tools from universal quantum computation with magic states, a widely believed hypothesis—that the inefficiency in quantum computations arises owing to tracking enormous amounts of classical data—is falsified. @mzurel @cihokay @RRaussendorf go.aps.org/4cWOIVI
@HayataYamasaki, @quantum_minhsiu and I are excited to be sharing our work ‘Constant-Overhead Magic State Distillation’ arxiv.org/abs/2408.07764. This work resolves a long-standing open problem on how efficiently magic state distillation can be done…

Research is essential to the health, prosperity and security of Canada. Canadian researchers have a long history of achievement. Investment in researchers, postdocs and grad students means new discoveries-treatments, climate solutions, technologies, and a better future for all.
@HedyFry,@CanadianPM,@cafreeland Grad student and postdoc funding should be included in Budget 2024. Early career researchers are the backbone of Canadian research and innovation #SupportOurScience @SupportOurSci
Budget 2024 is currently being finalized - and after 20 years of stagnant funding, it's about time graduate students and postdoctoral scholars are included! Use the link to call, email, and tweet at decision-makers before March 8th👇#SupportOurScience supportourscience.ca/action-budget-…
"If a collection of qubits is largely unentangled, has little magic, or simulates a bunch of nearly free fermions, then researchers know they can reproduce its output on a classical laptop." quantamagazine.org/the-quest-to-q…

A short post where @LausterNa and I look at rent and imputed rent in Canada. It's high and rising in BC, and that's a problem. We need to build a lot more housing to bring this under control. doodles.mountainmath.ca/blog/2022/09/1…
Workshop Announcement: Algebraic Structures in Quantum Computation 5 June 13 - 17, 2022 on Zoom and at UBC Vancouver. For program and registration visit asqc5.qi.ubc.ca Contextuality/ discrete Wigner functions/ QEC/ SPTO & more
Very excited to share the first publication arxiv.org/abs/2204.06648, of my group @Bilkent_math, joint with my postdocs Selman Ipek and Aziz Kharoof. Combining simplicial sets and probabilities we introduce simplicial distributions and study a fundamental quantum phenomenon.
UBC's very own.
Congratulations to @UBCphas Prof @RRaussendorf, who has received the 2021 @CAPhys-CRM Prize in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics, which recognizes his eminent contributions to the theory of quantum computing. ow.ly/TkRM50H6v8J
