engaging in musical worlds 🌸 and thinking about quantum information 🌀 amongst other things
Recently experienced The Just Alap Raga Ensemble (La Monte Young, Jung Hee Choi, ...) perform Raga Darbari as a tribute to Pandit Pran Nath and Marian Zazeela in the very Dream House itself! The artists request no applause at the "end", so the sounds can continue to permeate the ether forever... 🕯️

Wrote up a little tutorial + review on higher-order quantum operations. If you love quantum channels, you can think of these as linear maps that act on channels themselves in manner fully consistent with quantum theory! I hope it helps future students / researchers! 🤗

Our recent work using ideas from thermodynamic geometry to derive optimal cooling protocols in quantum collision models of finite depth! I very much enjoyed working with my new collaborators Patryk & Marti, as well as all the old @quitphysics.info crew 💫
Efficiently Cooling Quantum Systems with Finite Resources: Insights from Thermodynamic Geometry
Landauer's limit on heat dissipation during information erasure is critical as devices shrink, requiring optimal pure-state preparation to minimize errors. However, Nernst's third law states this dema...
