I'm excited to share that my new website, Scift (www.scift.app), is now live!

Scift is a simple way to explore scientific preprints from across all areas of science — no ratings, no comments, just the papers to read and consider on your own terms.

I'm pleased that our paper on a graph-theoretic framework for free-parafermion solvability has been published in RSPA. We prove that if the frustration graph of a spin system is an oriented indifference graph, then it has an exact free-parafermion solution. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Gabe Waite (@quantumbeef_) of the Hamiltonian Jungle has uploaded his first first-author paper: "The Complexity of Local Stoquastic Hamiltonians on 2D Lattices". Read here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2502.14244

I'm pleased that our work on the optimal scheduling of graph states via path decompositions has been published in Physical Review A. https://journals.aps.org/pra/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevA.111.012627

New paper with Samuel Elman, David Wood, and Adrian Chapman! We provide a graph-theoretic characterisation of when a quantum spin system can be solved via a mapping to free parafermions.

The Hamiltonian Jungle has expanded! In our latest update we unravel the secrets of Cluster Expansions, C*-Algebras, and MCMC. We also explore the complexities of Stoquastic Hamiltonians and Partition Functions.
