The Polynomial Freiman–Ruzsa conjecture has now been proved in all abelian groups with bounded torsion! This generalises the recent breakthrough by the same authors, which only held in characteristic 2.

Along with your application, we encourage you to also submit solutions to some of these challenge problems.

Have you ever wanted to play a nonlocal game across a topological phase transition on a quantum computer?

Well, we did just that on Quantinuum’s H1-1 device. We found that the toric code beats an Ising ferromagnet due to its robust topological order!

I received the NSF CAREER award! Needless to say, I am pretty happy about it. But what makes me really excited is that this will support my research on the entanglement bootstrap (EB) program! Here's a long 🧵 on the origin of the EB program, from my personal perspective.

Open position in Paris for a professor in quantum info. It is a top school in France, with a great scientific environment, and a nice place to live. institutminestelecom.recruitee.com/l/en/o/mccommu…

'3 positions for postdocs to work in information theory, quantum information theory, and statistical inference Cambridge University. These positions will be funded by the EPSRC AI Hub on Information Theory for Distributed Artificial Intelligence (INFORMED-AI).'

Does this not sound totally awesome?!?

Join us next week for the workshop on Advances in Quantum Coding Theory! Register if you'd like to attend in person or receive the private livestream link.

Videos from the workshop available to non-registrants ten days after the workshop concludes.

A fun project with Dom Williamson on how to generalise Raussendorf et al’s fault-tolerant cluster state, which is based on the toric code, to other anyon theories. Turns out the 3D Walker Wang models are very natural resource states for MBQC.
