@CatAstro_Piyush Lots to catch up!

[Gerardo Adesso @GerardoAdesso]

My Google Scholar h-index and my Pokémon GO trainer level are currently matched at 76. I guess the race is on: First to 80?

[Gerardo Adesso @GerardoAdesso]

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

@hedra_labs Is Hedra down today? No audio works, it always says that it fails moderation rules, and cannot generate videos...

@fesshole is this Fesshole or the Dull Men's Club?

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

[Gerardo Adesso @GerardoAdesso]

We close the conference with a nice panel discussion. Quo Vadis #Quantum #Sensing & #Metrology? Thanks all for engaging with the event! #WEH827

[Gerardo Adesso @GerardoAdesso]

Congratulations to Russell Brooks @HeriotWattUni and Jacques Ding @univ_paris_cite for winning the Best Poster Prize (ex aequo)! 🥇 #WEH827

[Gerardo Adesso @GerardoAdesso]

Last but not least is Michael Parniak from @physics_UW talking about experimental quantum sensing with Rydberg atoms #WEH827

[Gerardo Adesso @GerardoAdesso]

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
