Lots of interest tonight for the panel discussion "Physicist at the Forefront of the AI Revolution" at @esivienna.bsky.social.
We have a great panel of alumni of @univie-physik.bsky.social, who came back to discuss with current students about the opportunities (and perhaps dangers) of AI.

Indefinite Causal Order and Quantum Coordinates
Classically, the causal order of two timelike separated events $A$ and $B$ is fixed---either $A$ before $B$ or $B$ before $A$. This is no longer true in quantum theory, where it is possible to encount...
