An attempt of a theoretical physicist with the inestimable help of a reliable computer and some mathematical tricks

Reaching the final bits of my PhD... I Just got my thesis printed! Feels unreal to see it.

This amazing cover was done by @gabrielsmnz

@g1 jogo Dito todos os dias, mas há quase 7 meses minhas estatísticas não atualizam, tanto no app quanto na versão web: % de vitórias e sequências ficaram congelados. Podem verificar?

Tutorial: Despite its origins as a thought experiment, “Maxwell’s demon” has left a lasting legacy in uncovering fundamental links between thermodynamics,
information theory, and computation. @itsmealeale

... Apparently, we were expected to come back to the airport yesterday just to redeem a snack voucher — and then go back to our accommodation? Seriously? @FlyWideroe

[Alex @itsmealeale]

@FlyWideroe changed our flight yesterday just hours before departure. Lost a night in Bergen, voucher expired before we could use it, paid for our own food - and now we’re told the claim handling time is 12–14 weeks? Absurd. No respect for the customer at all.

[Alex @itsmealeale]

@FlyWideroe Staff had no idea what was going on. We only found out about the hotel and the food voucher after repeatedly asking around — no communication at all. Today, we tried to use the voucher you promised us for a meal at the airport, only to be told it had already expired.

Our latest work is now on arXiv. We develop optimal transport theory for open quantum systems and elucidate the maximal speed of particle transport in dissipative long-range bosonic systems.

Very nice collaboration with Jonatan and Rafael. It all began on the very first day when Rafael visited the group, and we randomly started talking about Maxwell's demon. A few days later, we were sketching proofs on a random blackboard at Niels Bohr.

[Alex @itsmealeale]

Maxwell’s demon was on holiday, just catching up on recent updates… until it thought, ‘Hmmm, I should write a tutorial!'

Very happy to share "a friendly guide to exorcising Maxwell's demon" (https://t.co/sWUIIswyk5).

@MichalOszmaniec I was working with a young student, and every time I asked simple questions, his answers were packed with content but no direct answer—sometimes pure nonsense. Why rely on these tools instead of actually learning/asking me? Absurdly frustrating. 2/2

[Alex @itsmealeale]

@MichalOszmaniec So frustrating! Maybe oral grading is the best alternative—it’s time-consuming and sometimes feels impossible, but at least it avoids this. 1/2

@orodramos Hi @orodramos, I sent my answer via DM due to the text limit here.

[Alex @itsmealeale]

Couldn't be happier to see these results published in Physical Review Letters!

This was the first problem I worked after arriving in Copenhagen. Trying to understand my next academic steps led me to this very nice problem! (1/n)

the new arXiv version is appearing tomorrow! =)

@kpcallaghan_ To wrap up, I wanted to say thanks to my amazing collaborators, Patryk and Jonatan!

Cheers!
