@echetus The preference is to hire generalists, who then have to learn about the politics and culture of the country they’re assigned to. What ends up happening is they then consult experts in that area - the ones not allowed to do the work!

[Jedrzej Burkat @jedburkat]

@echetus This is emblematic of an even bigger problem in the FCDO - if you have too much interest in a country (say, you studied it at university), they will not hire you to work on that country. If you have even distant heritage, they will consider it a liability so don’t bother applying

Today, Quantinuum officially begins trading on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol QNT.

Today’s milestone is the direct result of the dedication of our team, trust of our partners, and support of the entire quantum community.

Thanks to everyone who helped us reach this historic day.

@SebMilbank That’s not enough patriotism for these dire times. I propose a Fractalised St George’s Cross to reflect this, hang it on every lamp post in the country

@LucaAmb @littmath A typo does not constitute academic dishonesty; claiming LLM outputs you haven’t bothered to check as your own does. From my experience, the latter is much easier to spot and avoid :-)

[Jedrzej Burkat @jedburkat]

@LucaAmb @littmath Yes, when you read something you usually do it line-by-line and pay attention. How do you read papers?

[Jedrzej Burkat @jedburkat]

@LucaAmb @littmath If my supervisor didn’t bother to read a work we co-authored I would take that as a negligence. So if you can’t read so many papers, then maybe don’t put your name on them?

[Jedrzej Burkat @jedburkat]

@JosephPConlon Great piece and I fully agree. On a different point regarding admissions - what are your thoughts on the discontinuing of the PAT in favour of the online, multiple-choice ESAT?

[Jedrzej Burkat @jedburkat]

having seen the sheer effort from the chemistry team that went into organising this, I can say this is an excellent opportunity to learn from people who know their stuff *really* well. consider applying!

Introducing the InQuanto Summer School for Quantum Computational Chemists!

We’re pleased to announce dates for the inaugural InQuanto Summer School, taking place this September in Cambridge, UK -- September 14th - 18th, and registration is now open:

@leothecurious @yacineMTB aversion to complexity is why physicists are the best. we take pride in stupidity :-)

[Jedrzej Burkat @jedburkat]

@michael_nielsen Any plans to also go on @seanmcarroll's podcast? It would be great to hear you two in conversation :-)

[Jedrzej Burkat @jedburkat]

Fun historical fact: there's one Cambridge and two Oxford colleges - Harris Manchester, Homerton and Regent's Park - which sort of did the opposite. Each was founded in London and successively relocated to Oxbridge in 1889, 1894 and 1927!

[Oliver Lewis @policy_uk]

Oxbridge / LSE / Imperial should be forced to have regional campuses in deprived regions. In France, this is what their elite universities are forced to do - in order to bring high quality research and education to forgotten communities… why not in Britain?

@peterrhague the round trip time for light from where they are is like 2 seconds. great excuse but let's be honest, they just didn't want to talk to him

[Jedrzej Burkat @jedburkat]

That couldn’t be me!

Imagine for a second that you have a new paper. You got some cool results, and it’s now your job to convince others they’re important. And it’s come out on the same day Oratomic proves Shor’s algo only needs 10k qubits, and Google proves that crypto is cooked. Pretty funny right?

[Jedrzej Burkat @jedburkat]

@quantian1 cope

[Jedrzej Burkat @jedburkat]

@brstghost26 @LimYenKheng Yes. VSCode + overleaf git integration

[Jedrzej Burkat @jedburkat]

Super excited to share that this work by myself and Nathan Fitzpatrick has been selected for a talk at QCTiP 2026!

See you in Oxford! 🥳

[Quantinuum @QuantinuumQC]

Our algorithms team has introduced the Quantum Paldus Transform (QPT) — a novel technique that simplifies complex quantum problems by harnessing the power of symmetry, a concept rooted in the work of pioneers like Noether and Pauli. https://t.co/PHGmEPAwdJ
