🚀 50× GPU speedup with AETHER!
Huge thanks to Ábel Tóth & Balázs Bonifert — our multiconfigurational simulations now run ~50× faster than serial MCTDH-X! 🤯
Two fermions on a 128×128 grid in the plot. Computations taking a month on CPU now <1 day!

🌌 Matter can walk through walls — and that’s what makes the Sun shine! ☀️

Particles can tunnel through barriers like ghosts 👻 in a quantum world ruled by probabilities.

A single curve can reveal everything about your classifier 📈 In my latest story, I show how the ROC curve turns complex ML comparisons into clear insight — from logistic regression to random forests 🔍

❄️ The coldest place in the Universe isn’t in space—it’s in labs on Earth! My new article explores how atoms are cooled to billionths of a degree, why it matters for quantum tech, and what makes each species special. 🚀 medium.com/me/stats/pos... medium.com/me/stats/pos...

Proved 3 open conjectures by Hegselmann on ε-switches in the HK model ⚡:
1️⃣ Finitely many switches
2️⃣ Consistent dynamics between them
3️⃣ Invariant under affine transforms

🔍 Can long-range interactions destroy localization?
Bastien Dumont explored this during his internship w/ me by adding a level-statistics module to EDITH, our ED code. Result: long-range terms push MBL systems toward chaos!

👏 Amazing work!

🚨 New preprint! 🚨
My first foray into opinion dynamics is out:
“Nonmonotonic consensus transitions in bounded-confidence dynamics on unbiased networks”

A new feline joins the quantum race: Amazon & Caltech’s Ocelot chip uses “cat qubits” to tackle error correction with bosonic codes. Is it a game-changer for quantum hardware?

I challenge you to a guessing game:
- 🎲 Player A picks a number 1 - 100 with some probability.
-💡 Player B must guess that number to earn its dollar value.
If you knew the probability distribution, how would you maximize your earnings?

First paper of my VR Starting Grant is out: journals.aps.org/prresearch/a...

We investigate quench dynamics in dipolar bosons, showing that stability persists only for weak dipolar interactions, while all cluster states collapse.

Survey 1'000 people in a city of 1M—what are the chances someone gets picked twice? Your gut says near zero, but the math says almost certain. Our intuition fails at big numbers!
