Most quantum information scientists detest the noise that erodes the performance of quantum computers. @JointQuICS postdoctoral fellow Yuxin Wang sees the glass as half-full: noise is a fascinating subject to study. From this week's @JQInews Seminar.

New work by researchers @NIST & @JointQuICS to make entangled qubits more robust against noise, and therefore a promising route to real-world quantum sensors, was published @PhysRevLett. The paper's coauthors are Cheng-Ju (Jacob) Lin, Zi-Wen Liu, Victor Albert (@victorvalbert)…

David Gross (Cologne) talks about SDP based quantum algorithms. Take home: hidden constants matter. Even if there is an asymptotic speedup in your favorite use case, it may still not be in the parameter regime that is relevant to the problem size you're interested in.

Jacob Taylor joined Daniel Carney (@four_form) & Manthos Karydas of @BerkeleyLab to rethink gravity. In a paper published in @PhysRevX, they propose new “toy models” where gravity emerges from quantum particles—no gravitons needed. Learn more: go.umd.edu/21qb

Enjoyed the @QuantaMagazine podcast covering entropic gravity and our recent preprint with @four_form et al. Great to hear it broken down in an accessible form!

Loads of research groups across the world have been studying the Mpemba effect, according to which ice cream freezes more quickly if the mixture begins hot than if it begins cold. But how many groups have a student who *makes* ice cream? 🍦😋🍧 @JointQuICS @UMDPhysics

Real-time decision making based on strategic measurements for syndrome extraction can reduce computational overheads and improve logical error rates by interacting less with the system compared with conventional methods. @JointQuICS go.aps.org/40JmhaL

Can you create pseudoentangled states that remain so even after measuring out a part of the system and consider the residual state? In our new work, we show how to! We also discuss how this models universal phenomena in statistical physics. 👾 scirate.com/arxiv/2507.136… 1/7 📜

"For quantum computers to get significant speed-up, they need to take advantage of special structure. They do not offer significant speed-up for unstructured problems, so we do not expect to be able to just throw them at anything." @andrewmchilds arxiv.org/pdf/2408.16175
