The 1st European Quantum Computing for Plasma Physics Satellite Meeting was held in Vilnius 🇱🇹 right after #EPS2025 plasma division.

Chaired by @linigoga.bsky.social (GoLP) & Efstratios K, focusing on quantum algorithms, sims & tech for plasma research.

In Science Advances, @pablojbilbao.com , @thales-silva.bsky.social , and @luisoliveiraesilva.bsky.social show that radiatively cooled relativistic plasmas can spontaneously emit coherent, polarized radiation via the maser instability.

Our research is featured in Público, Portugal's national newspaper!
The article discusses how our latest study provides insights into the origin of coherent radio bursts from neutron stars, such as pulsars and magnetars.

New @golp-ist.bsky.social preprint is out, by @thales-silva.bsky.social @pablojbilbao.com - tailoring distribution functions with lasers and exploring, in the lab, astro relevant plasma instabilities 👇 arxiv.org/abs/2412.06783

Starting the GoLP Raising the Bar day 2024 with breakfast in the beautiful building of Academia das ciências followed by a presentation and an open discussion.

Great science @golp-ist.bsky.social by Marija V and her PhD student Oscar A published in Nature Photonics @natureportfolio.bsky.social

We have also submitted a preprint on applying Quantum variational algorithms to Strong Field QED. We demonstrate that we can use VarQITE to evolve the Fokker-Planck equation to simulate Quantum Radiation Reaction.

Today's an exciting day! We have submitted two papers to ArXiV, one of which is my positron acceleration work using Direct Laser Acceleration. Here, we use methods to improve positron creation and retention and a semi-analytical model to predict laser depletion. arxiv.org/abs/2411.174...
