Quantum Roundabout is back! Join us on 9-11 September 2026 at @UoNMaths, @UniofNottingham
Quantum Roundabout is a postgraduate conference for early career researchers in quantum science, previously held in 2014-2018.

Two new @UoNMaths preprints this week:
- Quantum Limits of Passive Optical Surface Metrology and Defect Detection https://t.co/VleuAwRbCh
- Optimal Discrimination of Gaussian States by Gaussian Measurements https://t.co/WWDqj3t2t8
To be presented in Japan https://t.co/zqu4sSUNGK
Beware @TurboLearn_AI ! Their AI chatbot lied to a student about premium features to secure a subscription sale, then admitted the truth after payment. Now they're ghosting emails & illegally denying a statutory 14-day cooling off refund. Escalating to @BarclaysUK for chargeback.
I have been lucky in my team to host exceptional junior researchers who moved on to stellar careers. Here a memory from 8 years ago with @LamiLudovico and @BartoszRegula at @QIPConference 2018, where we also scouted @RyujiTakagi_Pat initiating a very fruitful synergy at @UoNMaths
Very excited about our new preprint "Fundamental Quality Bound on Optical Quantum Communication" with Tobias Rippchen, @LamiLudovico & Mario Berta

Freshly published in @PhysRevLett with @GuiZambon! "Quantum Processes as Thermodynamic Resources: The Role of Non-Markovianity" https://t.co/M0WFXf8XfC #UoNMaths@UoNresearch
🎉Congratulations to Professor John King FRS of @UoNMaths on being elected a Fellow of the @royalsociety! His pioneering work in applied mathematics addresses challenges across biosciences, engineering, & medicine. Read more: https://t.co/LCcBEPfTSK #RoyalSocietyFellows#WeAreUoN
As defined by @GerardoAdesso in 2005 (https://t.co/VuAjrUEHnh), the symplectic rank of a pure state is the number of symplectic eigenvalues that are strictly larger than the ones of the vacuum.
In particular, the symplectic rank of Gaussian states is zero.

And that's a wrap. Here's the official group photo for the 827th WE Heraeus Seminar on Multiparameter Quantum Sensing and Metrology and a couple of pics from our hike to Drachenfels. With many thanks to the Heraeus Foundation, the co-organisers, and all participants! 👋 #WEH827
We continue with Lorcan Conlon from @ASTARsg and Atmadev Rai from @portsmouthuni talking about the role of entangling measurements and how to achieve Heisenberg sensitivity in multiparameter estimation #WEH827
