This was a super interesting read for me as a quantum physicist. I learnt that zero-knowledge provers can be hacked, and that cryptographers' and security analysts' way of understanding quantum mechanics is completely different to ours. What an interesting time to live in!
A mathematical statement involving operator inequalities and tensor products. Statement in LaTeX: Let $X,Y$ be operators on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space. If $0\leq X \leq Y$, then $X^{\otimes n} \leq Y^{\otimes n}$ for all $n\in\mathbb{N}$.
A little task to get your brain going today: Prove the statement in the picture!

Celebrate with us Quantum's approaching 10 year anniversary in 2026 with the publication of the 2026th paper! Do you know which paper that is?

I am surprised to see this and hope the arXiv stays nonprofit.
Today I spoke about quantum nonlocality in networks at the "Nonlocality: Driver for Quantum Advantage?" workshop at the @lorentzcenter.bsky.social. After the first day of the workshop, I'm eager to see what the rest of the week brings.

Some quantum info researchers are reluctant to learn about non-CPTP maps, but are ultimately left with no Chois.
AI agent deleted all my files will become the new dog ate my homework.
Tenure-track faculty position in quantum info at Perimeter Institute.
This is the last week to apply to the Spring School in near-term quantum computing that we are organizing at @ccbpp.bsky.social. Don't miss it!
Happy 2026, and
hearty Congratulations to Antoine Browaeys, Misha Lukin, and Mark Saffman
on the 9th biennial John Stewart Bell Prize
for their ground-breaking work developing quantum computational technologies relying on tweezer arrays of Rydberg atoms!

Happy New Year to you too! For another year full of quantum memes :)
I was not expecting this for Christmas, at all. I am truly grateful for having my research being recognized this way. Thanks to @ioppublishing.bsky.social @iopp-quantum.bsky.social for this prize!

2025 is almost over! Looking forward to 2026, when I'll finally do all the things I didn't get to in 2024
The @ccbpp.bsky.social Spring School on near-term quantum computing is back! If you are a young (PhD/MSc) researcher in quantum science and want to get exposed to the recent developments on quantum computing, do not hesitate coming to Benasque on March 15 - 21 next year!

OpenAI leadership are promoting a paper in Physics Letters B where GPT-5 proposed the main idea — possibly the first peer-reviewed paper where an LLM generated the core contribution. One small problem: GPT-5's idea tests the wrong thing. My technical comment: scirate.com/arxiv/2512.0... 1/

A great read by Retraction Watch.
✅ Nice to see that some Article 1 authors, McCoy et al., actively tried to get help from Springer Nature to fix the incorrect citations to their paper.
😐 Seems like Scopus and Web of Science also have the distorted citations.
The list of accepted papers for #QIP2026 is now online at qip2026.lu.lv/programme/ac...
This is quite a discovery. Congrats to @krivachytamas.bsky.social for airing it out.
5️⃣/🔟 In Scientific Reports, 5 of the top 10 most cited articles have an article number of 1.
5️⃣/🔟 In Nature Communications the same: 5 of the top 10 are article 1s.
Coincidence? 👇
