For the first time in my life I can explain what the physics @NobelPrize is about!

In fact, if you’d like to learn what is a Hopfield net and how it relates to NP hard satisfiability, Boltzmann machines, autoencoders, score matching, Maxwell demons, maximum likelihood, generative AI, quantum computing, unsupervised learning and neural networks, see these slides and video lectures from a course I taught at @ipam_ucla 2012

[Igor Carboni Oliveira @IgorCarboniOliv]

It's a deeply sad day for the TCS community. Luca Trevisan's work has had a profound impact on algorithms, complexity, and much more. In particular, I have a deep appreciation for his contributions to the theory of computational pseudorandomness. Luca will be greatly missed.

Twitter friends, if you’re on Mastodon, could you drop your handle here? Would love to follow what you say there, too! Recs for other folks to follow also very welcome!

So @Mark_Schultz wrote a whole series of posts explaining LWE (the PQC crypto constructions) from the ground up, with simplified but sane models in Python, and it’s great. https://t.co/FrD3sVIxWG

Dear paper writers, consider using \𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘢𝘨𝘦[𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗿𝗲𝗳=𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲]{𝘩𝘺𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘧} instead of simply \𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘢𝘨𝘦{𝘩𝘺𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘧} to make it easier for a reader to jump to the references and back.

Mark your calendars! The third information theoretic crypto conference will be at MIT this year from July 5-7. Cool papers & Exciting plenary speakers! Yuval Ishai, Rafael Pass, David Zuckerman, Omri Ben-Eliezer, @dakshita10 @zaumka https://t.co/VhueMjajyf

I wrote a FREE introductory quantum computing textbook! The only prerequisite is trigonometry. It's essentially the #PHY595 course I've been teaching at @Creighton since 2018.

Download it from my website at https://t.co/ggYwGgBgE1.

A new theory journal that is an overlay of the arxiv. An interesting idea...

Researchers have achieved the ideal method for locally testable coding — a result that is equal parts theoretical curiosity and practical advancement. @mordechwhy reports: https://t.co/r3PpNdZ7pP

I was asked by Tony Hey to contribute a chapter for a new edition of the Feynman Lectures on Computation. All I had to do (in about 40 pages) is explain what’s happened in quantum computing since Feynman first talked about it 40 years ago.

In Iraq, in the book market, books remain in the street at night, because Iraqis say: 'The reader does not steal, and the thief does not read.'

[CQT @quantumlah]

Interested in learning about quantum information science? You can watch @aekert's introductory lectures (for masters students) on the topic on Youtube.
