Margaret Killjoy, in a thread on Bluesky ( via Kottke ): I came to Minneapolis to report on what’s going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is “just what is the scale of the resistance?” After all, we’re all used to the news calling Po

A Multilevel Framework for Partitioning Quantum Circuits

Quantum Journal @ 2026-01-22 13:33:24

Quantum 10, 1984 (2026). Executing quantum algorithms over distributed quantum systems requires quantum circuits to be divided into sub-circuits which communicate via entanglement-based teleportation. Naively m

Improving the usability of C libraries in Swift

Swift blog @ 2026-01-22 13:00:00

There are many interesting, useful, and fun C libraries in the software ecosystem. While one could go and rewrite these libraries in Swift, usually there is no need, because Swift provides direct interoperability with C. With a little setup, you can direc

Dissipation and non-thermal states in cryogenic cavities

Quantum Journal @ 2026-01-22 12:05:23

Quantum 10, 1983 (2026). We study the properties of photons in a cryogenic cavity, made by cryo-cooled mirrors surrounded by a room temperature environment. We model such a system as a multimode cavity coupled

Recurrence in discrete-time quantum stochastic walks

Quantum Journal @ 2026-01-22 11:46:46

Quantum 10, 1982 (2026). Interplay between quantum interference and classical randomness can enhance performance of various quantum information tasks. In the present paper we analyze recurrence phenomena in the

Gibbs Sampling gives Quantum Advantage at Constant Temperatures with O(1)-Local Hamiltonians

Quantum Journal @ 2026-01-22 11:03:19

Quantum 10, 1981 (2026). Sampling from Gibbs states – states corresponding to system in thermal equilibrium – has recently been shown to be a task for which quantum computers are expected to achieve super-polyn

How to Sign Quantum Messages

Quantum Journal @ 2026-01-22 10:07:45

Quantum 10, 1980 (2026). Signing quantum messages has long been considered impossible even under computational assumptions. In this work, we challenge this notion and provide three innovative approaches to sign

I once had a provost who felt that academic departments hindered the university as they tended to silo the faculty. He would argue we should eliminate departments and that would increase cross-disciplinary work. That went nowhere of course. He missed a c
