Today we had the first of two meeting days celebrating the end of IYQ 2025 and the end of many projects (Quantum Spain, Plan Complementario). So many good things happened in Spain these years. Amazing ecosystems elsewhere too. 1/

A few days after posting this, Chatgpt broke. Started ignoring my mistakes and saying I was doing everything right. It even interrupts in the middle of replies to praise. Totally useless suck up. A different AI app specialized on the language I'm learning still works. No attitude there
LLMs are a really good tool for language learning:
- Speech to text and text to speech as trainers for pronunciation
- Automatic generation of graded texts and dialogues based on (a growing) vocabulary lists
- Conversation assistants that introduce a few words every time, challenging the student.

Sometimes an afternoon conversation turns into a beautiful idea that works! This collaboration with #quantinuum explores "adiabatic" methods for designing quantum circuits that load functions in quantum computers, a fundamental task in quantum numerical analysis arxiv.org/abs/2511.15674
Efficient quantum state preparation of multivariate functions using tensor networks
For the preparation of high-dimensional functions on quantum computers, we introduce tensor network algorithms that are efficient with regard to dimensionality, optimize circuits composed of hardware-...

Is Google Scholar broken? I am sure these lists (sorted by year) are incomplete.

I did not know that graphical applications from Linux run natively in Windows via the Windows Subsystem for Linux. Probably the best option to run an Emacs workflow right now.
