There are only about 100 quantum computers in the world. At @USCViterbi, Daniel Lidar is making them reliable enough to transform medicine, energy, logistics, and more. viterbischool.usc.edu/news/2…

Quantum computing could transform medicine, energy, and AI. But qubits are unstable, error-prone, and hard to tame. @SimonsFdn & USC found a fix - in a particle others had thrown away. today.usc.edu/mathematicians…

Very happy to have this one out. Should be some exciting interactions between stable homotopy theory and categorification. Special congrats to postdoc Anne Dranowski and Meng Guo who are both on the market. arxiv.org/abs/2402.11368

We had a great turn out at the Canada–Mexico–US Conference in Representation Theory, Noncommutative Algebra, and Categorification at the Centre de Recherches Mathematiques in Montreal. We may need to find a shorter name to stay inside the character limit. Thanks to @NSF

A four-dimensional universe may sound like science fiction, but it’s actually a mathematical extension of our 3D reality 😱. @USC Dornsife's Aaron Lauda is leading a major initiative to study it. Learn more: bit.ly/3Kq8ZIq #Math Month

Very proud of this guy who successfully defended his thesis on “The structure and Higher Representation Theory of Odd Categorified sl(2)”.

I think my friend @coecke’s advertising is paying off. Time to study up on ZX-calculus. It’s string diagrams for quantum mechanics!
