This week We had two nice seminars: Teruaki Nagasawa (Nagoya U) discussed Macroscopic states and operations: a generalized resource theory of coherence.

Ricard Puig (EPFL) examined Barren plateaus & warm starts, shedding light on quantum loss landscapes and effective training strategies for VQA.

Bravissima Ilaria Svampa defended her PhD: “Representations of the p-adic three-dimensional rotation group: towards p-adic quantum computing.” 🎓✨

Supervised by S L’Innocente, S Mancini at UNICAM and A Winter (GIQ, UAB)

A big step towards a great p-adic quantum future—wherever that may be! 😏 ⚛️

This week we had two seminars by Niklas Galke (GIQ PhD candidate) on Finitely correlated states; and by Tomás Fernández Martos (PhD candidate at ICFO and QUSIDE) on Security proof for randomness generation in vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser.

New paper on arXiv🔥

How can many-body interactions boost quantum sensing to its limits?

We show how to add controlled interactions in many-body probes to reach the highest precision limits in quantum metrology -- both for dynamical and steady states.

As a kid, were you fascinated by fractals, went on to study science, but ended up doing "only" information theory or quantum physics? Rejoice, here is our communication-capacity-fractal-dimension crossover (improved v2)! @TU_Muenchen @ias_tum

From the people who tend to look down on "curiosity-driven" research, sure enough we get a bit of money-driven research. In that world, given that google evidently hasn't got the brain power to solve the problem, it's only rational to farm it out.
