Thank you for sharing! Is there per chance also a recording of the talk available online?
A really lively discussion with the quantum mathematician Devika Sharma! Ranging from error correction topics to taking care of oneself during her free time, Priya and I really enjoyed a bit of insight into what the life of a quantum mathematician is like ๐ youtu.be/maXkByXOOuU
A big shout out to the first author Sparsh Mittal along with Mintu Kumar and Yash Chand for their valuable contributions, and of course Prof. Neel Kanth Kundu for orchestrating the work
We tested this using indoor localization data (finding a person's location inside a building using signals from WiFi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee)
The (small but clean) novel contribution that our paper shows is that you can use a very naive method of plucking a few integer Fourier frequencies around zero (e.g. [-1, 0, 1]) as a heuristic and it worked for the cases we tried!
In more detail - we used the already-known method of taking the partial Fourier series of the quantum layer and keeping only the leading terms. We saw that this did not degrade the performance of the model.
Paper on taking the classical surrogate of QML models!
ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/doc...
Taking a classical surrogate means we took a hybrid QML model and translated the quantum layer to a "classical surrogate" so that the whole model can be run efficiently on a classical computer.
This feels similar to when companies started putting wifi to many household appliances... adding risk with no practical benefits
Could the new restrictions be to try and combat the AI slop?
And that's another episode in the bag! This one with Kishor was really nice to hear about his days and his philosophy on how he works on quantum science, and what it takes (including making time for the really important things like family) ๐

It was really fun working with Julian Jang-Jaccard and everyone at the Cyber-Defense Campus๐จ๐ญand a shout out to my boss Frederik Flรถther for his comments on shaping this chapter
The whole book is very understandable to anyone and is ๐ณ๐๐น๐น๐ ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ! So if you or anyone you know is interested to learn more about how quantum computing can impact them personally or professionally, I humbly recommend this chapter ๐
Very excited that the book ๐ค๐๐ฎ๐ป๐๐๐บ ๐ง๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ต๐ป๐ผ๐น๐ผ๐ด๐ถ๐ฒ๐: ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ฒ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฒ is finally out, which includes my chapter on ๐ค๐๐ฎ๐ป๐๐๐บ ๐ง๐ต๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐:

Really excited to share this chat with Awanish Pandey, an optics and photonics professor at IIT Delhi. Very insightful and fun conversations with a great sense of humour all along :) And of course a shout out to my co-host Priya! Stay tuned for more episodes!

I'll be giving a talk at FLQT next week! www.aspects-quantum.com/flqt2025
Anyone else going?
Does this mean the coin flipping guys get to publish a paper too?
(Sidenote: I am unironically a big fan of trickshot videos. The joy in their faces when they finally get it is fantastic!)
I think a way to fight blog posts is to preach to non-experts to
1. Find the link to the scientific paper in the blog post
2. Upload just the paper (not blog post or any other media) into NotebookLM
3. Ask NotebookLM your questions
It's not perfect but (so far) it's pretty decent!
Very nice interview with Prof. Prabha Mandayam where she shares with us some fascinating life experiences and insights, like how she got into quantum, what she enjoys most about her job, recent QEC breakthroughs, and more! Very fun, informal and a relaxing listen :)

Super interesting! Are there/will there be any talks on this available on youtube?
Nice one ๐คฃ๐คฃ alternatively you need to search through 3 items
Thanks Nick, appreciate the shout ๐ we're hoping it can entice more people into digging deeper into how to move forward in understanding which (parts of) problems in healthcare/lifesciences quantum algorithms could be have a potential to help out in!
Glad to see our work on potential applications of quantum computing to biomarker discovery out in the @cellpress.bsky.social Patterns journal :)

Looking forward to it coming out!
It's a word play on "hope"
So your conclusion is that "this suggests that the firewall paradox may be a symptom of the same fundamental issue that leads to the extended Wigner's friend paradox" is bullshit? Or am I misunderstanding?
Indeed! I think that's a pretty OG one en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_w...
Oh I didn't know this was an additional feed I could add, this is really neat!
It's similar on my timeline (not with Tesla specifically but a lot of Trump related posts). My solution is to just stick to the "Following" tab and ignore the "Discover" tab. Unfortunately I only discover new accounts when people I know repost them, so exploration is slow but I'm OK with it for now
