At our QUICK Quantum Computing Group, we’ve adopted the sloth as our group mascot, a QUICK reminder that good things take time! 🦥
To celebrate International Sloth Day last week, we raised funds and donated to the Sloth Conservation Foundation. Great initiative by Marwa Marso (last row center)!

(I/III) We're excited to announce a new tenure track opening! The position is called 'quantum informatics' and is affiliated with our QUICK group within the CS+AI division at @jku.at 🇦🇹. Application deadline is November 30th, 2025: www.jku.at/en/the-jku/w...

In 2021, Robert Huang, myself & @preskill.bsky.social identified quantum state learning tasks that look hard, but become easy if you jointly process 2 copies. I have long wondered whether such challenges exist for c>2 copies. Turns out yes, there is an infinite hierarchy scirate.com/arxiv/2510.0...

🇦🇹🇭🇺 Austro-Hungarian reunion at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. András Gilyén is probably one of the best quantum algorithm designers out there. He co-developed quantum SDPs, QSVT & Gibbs Sampling. No wonder he won an ERC! Happy that he also decided to return to Europe, and proud to be his friend!

Just had the pleasure to see this in person. Very impressive stuff, @andreasateth.bsky.social and team!

www.quantumscience.at volunteered me to host my first proper workshop (~120 participants) at @jku.at. It really hits differently when you do not only welcome your peers at your academic institution, but also your hometown. We had a blast-furnace! @voestalpine.bsky.social steelfactory pun intended. 🇦🇹

Last week I had fun teaching quantum complexity at the kaleidoscope research school at CIRM, Marseille 🇫🇷🥖: (conferences.cirm-math.fr/3225.html. Amazing location, great atmosphere and, finally, enough blackboard space for a lecture of yours truly! 😋
Lecture notes are here: www.jku.at/fileadmin/gr...

Last fall I taught two big classes on **computational complexity** (left selfie) and **quantum computing** (right selfie). We had a blast! Lecture notes are here: www.jku.at/fileadmin/gr..., www.jku.at/fileadmin/gr....
It was a lot of work, but now I am happy+proud to share them. Feedback welcome!
