While drafting this blog post, I googled Jim Simons for some fact-checking...on May 10. With gratitude. (And with cameos by Sean Carroll and Brian Swingle) quantumfrontiers.com/2024/05/12/let…

Todays U.S. National Science Foundation Quantum Research Showcase highlighted NSF investments in quantum research, tech and education.

Thank you Frank Lucas, Rep. Zoe Lofgren and Rep. Haley Stevens for hosting and your leadership on this vital scientific endeavor for our country.

A road not taken. Like NicoleYunger Halpern, I was fascinated by philosophy in high school and my first year of college. But the interest gradually faded because the open problems of physics seemed easier to resolve.

Our reddit AMA in honor of #WorldQuantumDay is live! Join the conversation: reddit.com/r/IAmA/comment…

To celebrate #WorldQuantumDay , our researchers are hosting the third annual 'Ask Me Anything' event reddit AMA. Don't miss this opportunity to have your questions answered by Univ. of Maryland quantum experts. The link to participate will be tweeted here the day of the event.

.Univ. of Maryland's Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (@umiacs) is expanding its data center by 50% to support the institute's growing research portfolio in areas like machine learning, artificial intelligence and computer vision. Learn more: go.umd.edu/3TSibIQ

High-energy theorists said the quantum thermo of lattice gauge theories was problematic. A toolkit used in our field---strong-coupling quantum thermo---turned out to help. Who'd have thought that these tools from chemistry would find applications in HET? arxiv.org/abs/2404.02965

We're heartbroken from the sudden passing of our colleague and friend Rance Cleaveland (1961-2024).

Known for his quick wit, positive demeanor, and dedication, Rance's presence will be deeply missed Univ. of Maryland.

Thanks again for the opportunity. Paper is now out: scirate.com/arxiv/2403.045…

Paper out just in time for March Meeting! Experiment inspired by closed timelike curves: using entanglement, you can perform parameter estimation on a field whose direction you don't know. Check out the talk Wed., 11:30, Rm 201AB.
