Ian George, @christophhirche.bsky.social, Theshani Nuradha, & I have issued an update of our q. Doeblin coefficients paper:

arxiv.org/abs/2503.22823

Main changes consist of an expanded section 8.5 on mixing, indistinguishability, & decoupling times of quantum Markov chains. See attached images

Cause for celebration: millions of euros in continued funding for research on photonics, measurements at the quantum frontier and personalised care for hearing loss. #LUH has been granted funding for three Clusters of Excellence and will apply for University of Excellence status.

New preprint in preparation for ISIT:
With Oxana Shaya,
"Partial orders and contraction for BISO channels"
scirate.com/arxiv/2504.1...

Within the BISO channels the BEC and BSC are extremal in many aspects. We extend this to additional partial orders and show what role contraction plays here.
Partial orders and contraction for BISO channels
A fundamental question in information theory is to quantify the loss of information under a noisy channel. Partial orders and contraction coefficients are typical tools to that end, however, they are ...

Thanks for hosting me at Cornell last week, @markwilde.bsky.social !
Great to have @christophhirche.bsky.social visiting us this past week! Attached photos show Christoph leaving quantum information divergence graffiti in the Cornell music studio before our jam session :) (next to the related graffiti I left some weeks ago)

New preprint:
"Optimization Driven Quantum Circuit Reduction"
w/ Bodo Rosenhahn & Tobias J. Osborne
Transpiling quantum circuits well to specific gate sets is a hard but important problem near-term. We apply tools from ML to give an effective and scalable approach.

We're looking for a new addition to our group. Drop me a message if you're interested!

Trying this out by announcing our new preprint:
Not too long ago, @marcotomamichel.bsky.social and I gave a new definition of quantum f-divergences. Now, we teamed up with Salman Beigi to dive deeper into their properties and how they relate to previous definitions:

Some properties and applications of the new quantum $f$-divergences
Recently, a new definition for quantum $f$-divergences was introduced based on an integral representation. These divergences have shown remarkable properties, for example when investigating contractio...
