Quantum simulation of equilibrium many-body systems requires the ability to sample from the thermal distribution of quantum states. An algorithm has now been proven to be an appropriate quantum analog...

Researchers in “natural language processing” tried to tame human language. Then came the transformer.

The theory of large deviations is concerned with the exponential decay of probabilities of large fluctuations in random systems. These probabilities are important in many fields of study, including st...

“The papermill crisis is not an external attack on science but a mirror held up to its dysfunctional ecosystem. The for-profit publishing industry, posing as a newly found saviour of research…

This is not an essay about nightlife, not exclusively.

Recent experiments have reported that novel physics emerge in open quantum many-body sys- tems due to an interplay of interactions and dissipation, which stimulate theoretical studies of the many-body...

Quantum systems typically reach thermal equilibrium rather quickly when coupled to a thermal environment. The usual way of bounding the speed of this process is by estimating the spectral gap of the d...

Experimental realizations of spin models are irremediably prone to errors, which can propagate through the system corrupting experimental signals. We study how such errors affect the measurement of lo...

Starting from a microscopic description of weak system-bath interactions, we derive from first principles a quantum master equation that does not rely on the well-known rotating wave approximation. Th...

Long-range quantum systems, in which the interactions decay as $1/r^α$, are of increasing interest due to the variety of experimental set-ups in which they naturally appear. Motivated by this, we stud...

We carefully review the hierarchical construction by Bouch [Bouch2015] of trees on the square lattice that can be grown from its root in $L!/C^L$ distinct ways, where $L$ denotes the number of bonds c...
