We launched Relational Intelligence.

Why? Current language models are powerful but unexplainable. For one thing, they are locked into GPUs with no path to quantum hardware, with no path to efficiency, with no path to scalability...
How? The same structure governs quantum mechanics and natural language, and cognition more generally. We use this to build AI whose reasoning you can trust and that maps straight onto quantum hardware as it scales. But we get advantage on classical hardware too, just by thinking quantum...
When? Now: our open-source stack is already used across academia and industry. We start by adding a layer of explainability on top of existing models before incrementally replacing black boxes with verifiable components. Down the line, we do everything from first principles, cause that's how we roll...
That's all folks, for now...

Way to go!

Quantum teleportation before university? Why not.

Our group at @UniOfHerts is running Quantum in Pictures: a free 5-day masterclass for Y12/13s, using the visual method by @coecke & @StefanoGogioso, rooted in category theory

20–24 July 2026

Long overdue, but Black Tish now has a webpage, with a little (actually a lot) help from Claude.

Excited to announce I just started as CTO of Relational Intelligence 🎉
I’ll be working with @coecke @gio_defel and @TommSalvatori on a new paradigm for AI, don’t hesitate to get in touch! https://t.co/H9YQEfXeyI

Finally got my hands on the Greek copy of Quantum in Pictures. Very proud of that, as there is the pre-Socratic connection. It is beautifully done.

A brand new instrument called the “quantum guitar” performed alongside one of the oldest instruments, the organ, at one of the most beautiful chapels in Oxford.

Rakhat-Bi Abdyssagin and Bob Coecke (@coecke) performed Abdyssagin’s ‘Quantum Universe’ at Merton College.

The world needs opposites to get along...music is a good way to do so.

Industrial electronics and classical piano on the same stage at the Holywell Music Room, one of the oldest concert venues in Europe.

Rakhat-Bi Abdyssagin, Bob Coecke (@coecke) and Bruce Warner closed out the Oxford Quantum Centenary Conference.

Please see below the call for papers for the 2nd Quantum AI conference in Indiana, this summer August 14-16. I will be chairing the quantum NLP track.

Last year it was great in many ways, with lots of high-profile participants, covering both academia and industry, from both foundations and applications, and there also were many very strong students.

Given that local organiser Damir Cavar promised me that they would also built a quantum guitar according to my template, I may be doing a show there as well.

@GeoffPeterson I am not at Quantinuum anymore, and this is not a place to apply for jobs.

[bOb cOeCke @coecke]

Will be giving this talk this Thursday. Free online attendance. Register here: https://t.co/mH8AzvJ2SK

[bOb cOeCke @coecke]

Here it is, the first ever quantum symphony, "Quantum Universe", composed by "Kazakh Mozart" Rakhat-Bi Abdyssagin, with him in Cathedral Organ, and me on Quantum Guitar.

"Quantum" in two ways: Abdyssagin's book "Quantum Mechanics and Avant-Garde Music", and my Quantum Guitar.

We'll be playing at Wacken Open Air this year, on the wasteland stage, also VIP-premiering quantum guitar for the press.

Check out this interview of renowned data-sculpture artist Refik Anadol and myself on quantum art, by Firgun Ventures' Kris Naudts.

I dive into into ancient Greece, relational quantum mechanics, diagrammatic languages, quantum natural language processing, and building a quantum guitar.

Refik shares the story behind Quantum Memories, his collaborations with Google’s AI and quantum teams, and his vision for Dataland, the world’s first museum dedicated to AI art

@SuperpositionsS There are other recordings that will soon be released, from Oxford's Quantum Centenary.

[bOb cOeCke @coecke]

Next week I'll be giving a talk and a quantum guitar concert at the Einstein Forum in Potsdam, near Berlin, for their Year of Quantum celebrations. Maybe CU there, in person, or on Zoom.

We have a new paper on the arXiv that provides a widely applicable graphical language for photonically interlocking modular components for various kinds of quantum hardware.

Our first ZX-calculus paper was written in 2007 in the Alborz mountains in Iran. Let's hope that the Iranian people can get what "they" want.
