UCLQ brings together the quantum science community, facilitating collaborative research and providing a platform to engage the public, users, and policy makers.

We invite applications for Research Fellow positions as part of a new initiative to be launched in late 2026 at the interface of quantum information theory and gravity! Please RT and let potentially interested researchers know. 1/

[uclquantum @UCLQuantum]

Congrats to both! We are fortunate to have Charlie is a regular visitor to @UCLQuantum @uclmaps

[Jonathan Oppenheim @postquantum]

Congratulations to Charlie Bennett and Gilles Brassard for winning the 2025 Turing Award (akin to the Nobel Prize for Computer Science)! They invented quantum cryptography and quantum teleportation. 1/

As promised... No, classical spacetime can’t produce entanglement. I can create entanglement by turning a knob on a laser, but the knob isn't mediating the entanglement. Is the knob "producing" the entanglement? https://t.co/JTOdLhqB9h

When and how will quantum computing broadly benefit humanity? Despite exhilarating recent progress, we still don’t know. Here my friend Jens Eisert and I assess the current status and the challenges ahead. We are optimistic about the quantum future, but there’s a lot of work to do.

What if the measurement problem isn't about explaining how the classical world emerges from the quantum world...

...but about what happens when quantum systems interact with something that's already classical?

Turns out, the collapse postulate + Born rule emerge!

Maite Arcos's PhD results are hitting the arxiv! A resource theory of gambling, and a paper on adversarial thermodynamics are out today. Gambling provides an operational way to quantify who has more information. And it can be extended into the quantum domain!🧵1/

Quantum twitter has mostly moved to the other place. So if you're interested in some profiles or resources to help make sense of today's announcement, check out the link in the reply below. Since this post will likely be throttled, please RT if you see this. 1/

Jonathan Oppenheim (@postquantum) is challenging one of the core assumptions of modern physics. His radical idea? Spacetime might not be quantum at all. Could gravity stand apart from the quantum realm? He’s working with experimental colleagues to find out.

[Jonathan Oppenheim @postquantum]

Apply for a research fellowship hosted by us! Some deadlines for expressions of interest are as early as May 31st. If you'd like to pursue research in quantum information and spacetime, drop me an email, and please RT or let excellent candidates know! https://t.co/tlYNNyuDaR

[uclquantum @UCLQuantum]

Is it dark matter or is it wobbly spacetime? 👀 Find out why it's probably the erratic nature of wobbly spacetime on March 15th when Jonathan will give a public lecture on gravity and quantum theory. You can get tickets to the London and virtual event at https://t.co/jjL045WVOo

[Jonathan Oppenheim @postquantum]

Folks, something seems to be happening... We show that our theory of gravity is valid down to the shortest distances https://t.co/SZvD0TGw90. and that it can explain the expansion of the universe and galactic rotation without dark matter or dark energy https://t.co/GzXBvXYd7K 1/

[UCL Innovation and Enterprise @UCLEnterprise]

UCL staff: apply for up to £50,000 in funding to test, de-risk, and show the commercial potential of your quantum research.

The deadline for applications is 14 March.

Is space-time quantum or classical in nature? Professor Jonathan Oppenheim @postquantum and Professor Sougato Bose @uclmaps talk to the @newscientist about one of physics's biggest questions and the experiments hoping to resolve it @UCLQuantum https://t.co/RwyTDNgqk2 (£)

In case you are not aware, we have been releasing short videos with the 2018 #NobelPrize winner, Prof Donna Strickland, on our YouTube channel up to the end of October. Here is the 2nd one on #WomeninSTEM, #lasers in the media, our community & society.
