Over the recent weeks and months, John Preskill and I sat down to think about where we are in quantum computing. While the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (#NISQ) era is just unfolding as we speak, the time seems right to look ahead to the next steps to come.

~got bored this afternoon, do forgive me. But on a serious note would love to know who I haven't discovered on here yet (or mistakenly omitted due to the sheer amount of people)

🚀 Excited to share our latest work "Neural quantum kernels: Training quantum kernels with quantum neural networks", published in #PhysicalReviewResearch, on advancing quantum machine learning with neural quantum kernels! Great work by Pablo Rodriguez-Grasa and great collaboration with Yue Ban!

🔥 New paper: "Quantum Carleman linearization efficiency in nonlinear fluid dynamics" in #PhysRevResearch. doi.org/10.1103/Phys...
Fluid dynamics is hard when things go nonlinear: turbulence, shocks, and chaotic flows. Solving it requires huge computational resources. Could quantum computing help?

The non-Clifford cost of random unitaries

In this work, we explore the ensemble of t-#doped random quantum #Clifford circuits on n qubits, consisting of Clifford circuits interspersed with t single-qubit non-Clifford gates.

I’m happy to announce the results a collaboration with Adrian Franco Rubio, Alatz Alvarez Ahedo and Mikel Sanz, “Impact and mitigation of Hamiltonian characterization errors in digital-analog quantum computation”, arxiv.org/abs/2505.03642. The title is self explanatory, but there is more to it
Impact and mitigation of Hamiltonian characterization errors in digital-analog quantum computation
Digital-analog is a universal quantum computing paradigm which employs the natural entangling Hamiltonian of the system and single-qubit gates as resources. Here, we study the stability of these proto...

Today, Javier Gonzalez-Conde defended his thesis, “Quantum Algorithms for Differential Equations in Finance and Physics.” It’s been a long journey—at times a tough one—especially with the pandemic lockdown hitting just as he joined the group. But the work has been outstanding. Congratulations!

Our new paper "Entanglement transfer during quantum frequency conversion in gas-filled hollow-core fibers" was published this week in APL Photonics. Great work by Tasio Gonzalez-Raya (as usual), Arturo Mena López and Miriam Lazo. doi.org/10.1063/5.02...

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!
