Congrats to both! We are fortunate to have Charlie is a regular visitor to @UCLQuantum @uclmaps
Congratulations to Charlie Bennett and Gilles Brassard for winning the 2025 Turing Award (akin to the Nobel Prize for Computer Science)! They invented quantum cryptography and quantum teleportation. 1/

As promised... No, classical spacetime can’t produce entanglement. I can create entanglement by turning a knob on a laser, but the knob isn't mediating the entanglement. Is the knob "producing" the entanglement? open.substack.com/pub/superp…

No, they do not! I'll try to write up a reply in the next day or two.

When and how will quantum computing broadly benefit humanity? Despite exhilarating recent progress, we still don’t know. Here my friend Jens Eisert and I assess the current status and the challenges ahead. We are optimistic about the quantum future, but there’s a lot of work to do.

What if the measurement problem isn't about explaining how the classical world emerges from the quantum world...
...but about what happens when quantum systems interact with something that's already classical?
Turns out, the collapse postulate Born rule emerge!

Maite Arcos's PhD results are hitting the arxiv! A resource theory of gambling, and a paper on adversarial thermodynamics are out today. Gambling provides an operational way to quantify who has more information. And it can be extended into the quantum domain!🧵1/

Quantum twitter has mostly moved to the other place. So if you're interested in some profiles or resources to help make sense of today's announcement, check out the link in the reply below. Since this post will likely be throttled, please RT if you see this. 1/

Jonathan Oppenheim (@postquantum) is challenging one of the core assumptions of modern physics. His radical idea? Spacetime might not be quantum at all. Could gravity stand apart from the quantum realm? He’s working with experimental colleagues to find out.

Is it dark matter or is it wobbly spacetime? 👀 Find out why it's probably the erratic nature of wobbly spacetime on March 15th when Jonathan will give a public lecture on gravity and quantum theory. You can get tickets to the London and virtual event at ucl.ac.uk/event-ticketing/ap…

Folks, something seems to be happening... We show that our theory of gravity is valid down to the shortest distances arxiv.org/abs/2402.17844. and that it can explain the expansion of the universe and galactic rotation without dark matter or dark energy arxiv.org/abs/2402.19459 1/

PRB Editors' Suggestion: Low-dissipation data bus via coherent #quantum #dynamics

ALT EDITORS' SUGGESTION Low-dissipation data bus via coherent quantum dynamics The transport of information is an essential component of both classical and quantum computers. Coherent quantum dynamics offers the potential for the transfer of information through a linear array of quantum dots almost without dissipation. Here, the authors describe a protocol and calculate the energetic cost of transferring quantum states as a quantum or classical data bus, showing its advantage over the shuttling of electrons and classical data buses.
