We are having a very nice workshop on macroscopic superpositions in levitated systems. My latest preprint is arxiv.org/abs/2509.17081. Can you guess in which direction my interests are evolving? :)
Reinhard Werner giving a talk about von Neumann and quantum, competent and clear as usual. On this slide, the deep origin of why quantum information people don't like most quantum textbooks. It's about the representation of measurements: vN's axioms ended up missing POVMs.
Fluctuation relations in the statistics of UNO: www.cqt.sg/highlight/20... If this makes you laugh (at us) and then makes you think (about fluctuation theorems), consider nominating us for the igNobel prize :)

18 years ago like today I left Geneva to take up the job that is still mine. Celebrating with my group, and thinking of all the amazing people I got to meet.
Quantum resource theories looking like an exercise in esoteric theology of an Italian heretic (the speaker was Japanese, which makes this either entirely coincidental or even creepier).
