I am on my way home to Toronto and the aurorae are absolutely phenomenal.

If you are anywhere in the northern half of the continent, get outside and look up! Or better still, put your camera on a 10 second exposure and point it up.

New #preprint with Alev Orfi, Dries Sels and @carrasqu.bsky.social

It is about approximating correlated quantum excited states. We adapt some powerful linear algebra to extract many states at once. The background physics is neat -- we adiabatically connect known wavefunctions to interacting ones.
Adiabatic transport of neural network quantum states
Variational methods have offered controllable and powerful tools for capturing many-body quantum physics for decades. The recent introduction of expressive neural network quantum states has enabled th...

Is scale all you need? Or is there still a role for incorporating domain knowledge and inductive bias? While I was in Heidelberg, I took some time to write a short essay on this question called "The Bittersweet Lesson".

Last week, we published a paper that really excites me:
"Circuit compression for 2D quantum dynamics"

Using Pauli propagation, we (Matteo) were able to compress Trotter circuits for systems up to 30x30 with depth reductions of x2 to x13.

Grateful to APS for accommodating the schedule change.

But since they won’t be emailing all attendees to promote my talk (as they did for Microsoft), I’d really appreciate help spreading the word.

📢 “Can we build a topological qubit in 2025?”
📍 Monday, 14:06 | Topological Superconductors: Theory
The APS rejected the focus session on reproducibility that I was nominated for at this year’s March meeting.

In a welcome move, there has been a last minute change and I will give a talk:
“Can we build a topological qubit in 2025?”

MAR-B22.00014 Monday at 14:06

Thanks to those that facilitated.

We introduce PANDAS🐼, a jailbreaking method that exploits LLMs' long-context capabilities!
PANDAS significantly outperforms many-short jailbreaking by the introduction of:
✅Positive affirmations
❌Negative demonstrations
🎯Adaptive demo sampling
