The simplex algorithm is super efficient. 80 years of experience says it runs in linear time. Nobody can explain _why_ it is so fast.

We invented a new algorithm analysis framework to find out.
Beyond Smoothed Analysis: Analyzing the Simplex Method by the Book
Narrowing the gap between theory and practice is a longstanding goal of the algorithm analysis community. To further progress our understanding of how algorithms work in practice, we propose a new alg...

The word ‘head’ is etymologically related to ‘chef’, the head of a kitchen. And to ‘chief’, the head of a group.

These are also related to ‘cape’, a headland, and ‘per capita’, literally “by heads” – and yes, to Spanish ‘cabeza’ too.

Zoom in on my new graphic to learn all about this word family:

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.

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
