Humbled to be an invited speaker at a small conference in CPH in April covering #quantumcomputing, #quantumalgorithms and #quantum hardware. Specifically #HPC and #compchem related.
Attendance is free there is impressive line-up of speakers for a small conference:

I have just signed up for #SC25. Looking forward to visiting St. Louis and the scientific program, but also talking #HPC and especially #quantumcomputing with many of the world leading manufacturers.

After a long time in the making I am happy that this piece of work finally sees the light of day: Fault-tolerant vibrational structure calculations

I will soon advertise a call for a 2y-postdoc position in my group intended for a talented, motivated, and ambitious candidate to help develop new ways to promote bonds as kernels in the interpretation of chemical simulations.

Gave a talk in Copenhagen yesterday at a small scientific conference on quantum computing with great attendees. It was an interesting experience after so many years out of touch with "my field". Hope to deepen the interaction in the future.
Below is the part of the presentation I am most proud of:

After a very long time it is finally peer reviewed and out:
pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....
The preprint (arxiv.org/abs/2408.11091) is from last August and (v1) not that different from the published version. For some reason I always get content-fatigue when it comes to the final touches.

Politics is a strange thing - and I feel I am missing a basic nugget of education here. Why is it that on a personal level it mostly does not matter where people come from and we get along just fine - but as soon as we start building and thinking in groups (tribes, countries etc) it turns to 💩

Now seems to be a good time to attract scientific talent from the US ...
Europe should get their act together and invest in such individuals.

Are any of the #SC24 folks considering going to #ISC25? Last year was my first time at SC and it was fantastic. I am currently preparing a proposal for a BoF around #quantumcomputing to ISC and it would be great to connect with the #HPC community in Hamburg again.

Is there anyone working on an AI to replace CEOs?
Many modern LLMs would probably do a decent job, given enough context. However, I imagine they would be hard to sell :D

For some reason Don Jr.s visit to #greenland has really kept me busy (and frankly up at night).
There is so much wrong with it - I could go on ranting, but what really annoys me is that the "arrogant USA" has returned to the world stage - on steroids. But I guess that is what "America fist" means

I am currently collecting applications of #quantumcomputing - do you have pointers to your favorite results (preferably on hardware). My bias is of course towards #compchem, but anything counts really:)

Response by the DiffDock authors on the recent preprint by Jain and colleagues.
You may have seen a recent pre-print [1] from Jain et al. with strongly worded claims against the experimental results in our DiffDock paper [2]. We initially declined to respond as we saw that this preprint contained falsehoods, misleading comparisons, seemingly deliberate omissions, ...1/n

In #compchem applications of #quantumcomputing, IBM is currently using QSD (quantum sample diagonalization) as their workhorse. In some sense this is just encoding a wave function and then observing the frequency distribution afterwards. Why is that interesting?

I am wondering - what does Bluesky have that was not available in Mastodon? Is it only momentum and luck or something technical?

For instance one moment you are writing and analyzing #quantum #algorithms and in the next you are changing diapers.

The more evidence piles up the more it looks like Grover's algorithm belongs to the category of galactic algorithms (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galacti...).
