you've really made it in math if your name has been turned into an adjective, but in lower-case spelling

Very nice plenary talk at #ITW2025 by Debbie Leung (@debbie-leung-q.bsky.social) on (non)-additivity of quantum channel capacity.

Some much there is unknown—or just completely weird!

Prof. Debbie Leung, at the lectern, in front of a slide giving an example of quantum channels whose capacity is strictly superadditive

"AI will transform education!!" Do you know what would *actually* transform education? A hundred and fifty billion dollars

I made a zine about quantum gates and distributed it at @unitary.foundation's unitaryCON this two weeks ago.

check it out :) and lemme know what you think

I see 836 submissions to #QIP2026 in the system (so excluding those with COIs).

Henrik Wilming @arrr.de · 25d

Does anybody know the final number of #qip2026 submissions?

It seems we reached 300 submissions around 48hrs before the deadline this year 😵‍💫

I don't like doing this. It feels fucked up to constantly point out the negative dimensions of someone who just died in a horrific, worrying way. But I would like the media to tell basic truths about this person and his impact on public life rather than resorting to euphemism and outright lies!

Tip for your #qip2026 submission: A4 provides 3.86% more space than US letter format.

New preprint! Here, Shuheng, Marcus, and Giuseppe find Schmidt number witnesses for continuous-variable systems, connecting entanglement witnessing to the world of phase space quasiprobabilities

Entanglement Dimensionality of Continuous Variable States From Phase-Space Quasi-Probabilities

The dimensionality of entanglement is a core tenet of quantum information processing, especially quantum communication and computation. While it is natural to think of this dimensionality in finite di...

Nice! What textbook are you using? Have you looked at the Schumacher/Westmoreland one?
