Way to go!

Long overdue, but Black Tish now has a webpage, with a little (actually a lot) help from Claude. blacktish.com/

Excited to announce I just started as CTO of Relational Intelligence 🎉 I’ll be working with @coecke @gio_defel and @TommSalvatori on a new paradigm for AI, don’t hesitate to get in touch! rel-int.ai

Finally got my hands on the Greek copy of Quantum in Pictures. Very proud of that, as there is the pre-Socratic connection. It is beautifully done.

A brand new instrument called the “quantum guitar” performed alongside one of the oldest instruments, the organ, at one of the most beautiful chapels in Oxford. Rakhat-Bi Abdyssagin and Bob Coecke (@coecke) performed Abdyssagin’s ‘Quantum Universe’ at Merton College. Watch via the link below.

The world needs opposites to get along...music is a good way to do so.

Short news bite on Quantum Guitar by FQxI.

Please see below the call for papers for the 2nd Quantum AI conference in Indiana, this summer August 14-16. I will be chairing the quantum NLP track. Last year it was great in many ways, with lots of high-profile participants, covering both academia and industry, from both foundations and applications, and there also were many very strong students. Given that local organiser Damir Cavar promised me that they would also built a quantum guitar according to my template, I may be doing a show there as well. qnlp.ai/

Will be giving this talk this Thursday. Free online attendance. Register here: airtable.com/appmlaNdmr67gQU…

Here it is, the first ever quantum symphony, "Quantum Universe", composed by "Kazakh Mozart" Rakhat-Bi Abdyssagin, with him in Cathedral Organ, and me on Quantum Guitar. "Quantum" in two ways: Abdyssagin's book "Quantum Mechanics and Avant-Garde Music", and my Quantum Guitar. youtu.be/1Dl8BGqTuE0

We'll be playing at Wacken Open Air this year, on the wasteland stage, also VIP-premiering quantum guitar for the press. blacktish.com/

Check out this interview of renowned data-sculpture artist Refik Anadol and myself on quantum art, by Firgun Ventures' Kris Naudts. I dive into into ancient Greece, relational quantum mechanics, diagrammatic languages, quantum natural language processing, and building a quantum guitar. Refik shares the story behind Quantum Memories, his collaborations with Google’s AI and quantum teams, and his vision for Dataland, the world’s first museum dedicated to AI art youtube.com/watch?v=cnL_rdwZ…

Next week I'll be giving a talk and a quantum guitar concert at the Einstein Forum in Potsdam, near Berlin, for their Year of Quantum celebrations. Maybe CU there, in person, or on Zoom. einsteinforum.de/tagung/von-…

We have a new paper on the arXiv that provides a widely applicable graphical language for photonically interlocking modular components for various kinds of quantum hardware. arxiv.org/abs/2601.08389

Our first ZX-calculus paper was written in 2007 in the Alborz mountains in Iran. Let's hope that the Iranian people can get what "they" want. cs.ox.ac.uk/people/bob.coeck…

Free concert this Wednesday downstairs at the Wheatsheaf at Oxford in support of East Oxford Primary School, featuring my band Black Tish. facebook.com/events/18293908…

Our "short" paper on our 2023 experiment with secondary school students doing an Oxford University postgraduate exam is out now. The results were reported in the Guardian: theguardian.com/science/2023… arxiv.org/abs/2512.00141
