In a series of posts, we aim to present a set of essential tools & techniques that we believe every aspiring quantum information theorist should have in their toolbox. 🧰🛠️

We think these techniques will also be useful for researchers in adjacent fields.

All tools will be linked in this thread: 🧵

Dear colleagues, positions at CNRS (and INRIA) will (in all probability) be announced this winter. By then it will however be too late to properly prepare an application. Recent PhDs, postdocs etc interested in such positions should get right now in contact with teams who would like to recruit them.

Je découvre une agence qui vent des conférences de chercheurs ou d’ingénieurs. Ok. S’il y a un marché. Mais je rappelle aux enseignant·es (si besoin) que de nombreuses et nombreux chercheur·ses, enseignant·es chercheurs·ses viendront gratuitement. Invitez-les.

You have to organize it in a venue near the water. Jussieu is just by the Seine so the crabs can easily come.

Is this TCS track A or track B?

Alex Bredariol Grilo @abgrilo.bsky.social · Jun 10

Yes, that was what I thought. And do I understand correctly that the criticism on the mentioned paper is that in their case, their natural implementation is no easier than the qubit ones?

Dumb question by a non-physicist: is it theoretically possible/plausible that Shor's algorithm can be run in a single quantum oscillator? My naive view is that its infinite Hilbert space has all dimensions that are needed. I understand that doing it in practice would be beyond any QC optimism.

The recordings of two courses from the school Complexity as a Kaleydoscope are out: www.carmin.tv/en/c/1642

Antonina's lectures are great, and I was surprised how much I learned from Richard's lectures on Quantum Complexity theory (since I work on the field). I strongly recommend them
