Last week, two of our PhD researchers, Oliver Hüttenhofer and Adelina Bärligea, attended #QIP2026 in Riga, Latvia — one of the world’s leading conferences in quantum information science and computing. They presented their ongoing research at poster sessions and had great exchange with the community.

Our neighbour, Michael Seufert, and I gave our (belated) inaugural lectures on Monday, 26 January 2026, providing an overview of our chairs activities over the past years. We enjoyed the deep dive into these diverse topics and the great evening of academic exchange with our colleagues and friends.

We were honored to be invited to the state reception "100 Years of Quantum: From Theory to Transformation". It was a wonderful evening meeting inspiring people, learning about diverse research areas, and forming new connections.

Had a great time at MQSF 2025, with many inspiring talks and the opportunity to present our software packages FrayedEnds and Sunrise in the Software Pitch Session, addressing the one-body and many-body aspects of fermionic systems. #MQSF

Talking about automation in scientific software and how to leverage this to advance in physical simulation Great to be in Copenhagen for the Conference on Quantum Computing in the Natural Sciences – thanks to the organizers Phillip Jensen and Lasse Kristensen!

Measurement repetition remains a challenge for Variational Quantum Eigensolvers. To address this, Davide developed a new method that achieves 30% to 80% better performance compared to state-of-the-art techniques when simulating molecular systems.
