I wonder if I should start submitting my papers to physics.pop-ph instead of quant-ph in order to have fewer competing papers in the same arXiv subcategory. Only two entries during the past week!

AI hallucination in arxiv.org/abs/2607.24968 I can confirm that this paper does not exist! I've never published in PRE! journals.aps.org/search/resul...

goodness, I have never seen a more professional proof editing system than that offered by the Royal Society. I think I am in love and will now send all my papers to Proc. Royal Soc. A.

it seems that, nearly every month, a new journal focusing on quantum information & computing gets started. Here is a screenshot of a paper in a new one. They'll be happy to publish your papers without consideration for formatting & most authors won't care enough to check for these problems either.

Physical Review has indicated in a paper proof that they have their own style for author contribution statements. This style consists of massacring our statement, by repeating "formal analysis" multiple times & unnecessarily capitalizing phrases. Why does APS consistently have such poor copyediting?

here is what I see when I want to look up research papers on @nature.com 's web site. Why do I need to see ads like this? really??? Do you not get enough money from charging authors exorbitant publication fees? This is really pathetic.

Joint work with Kaiyuan Ji and Seth Lloyd now available at arxiv.org/abs/2509.08965 This paper identifies the communication capacity for sending information from the future to the past through a noisy closed timelike curve. The formula is reminiscent of mutual info but in general can be larger.

Here is what we did this summer: arxiv.org/abs/2508.09103 All students in attached image are in 1st year undergrad or high school. Due to frozen funds, some volunteered & others were funded by Cornell Engineering. Thanks for your dedication & thx to other coauthors for helping to complete the work

Ian George, @christophhirche.bsky.social, Theshani Nuradha, & I have issued an update of our q. Doeblin coefficients paper: arxiv.org/abs/2503.22823 Main changes consist of an expanded section 8.5 on mixing, indistinguishability, & decoupling times of quantum Markov chains. See attached images

Theshani Nuradha & I issued an important update of our paper on query complexity of q. channel discrimination: arxiv.org/abs/2504.12989 Building on arxiv.org/abs/2506.13686, we gave a tight characterization of sample complexity of state discrimination & query complexity of cq channels. See images

We even invented a quantum Doeblin coefficient dedicated to our colleague Xin Wang @wangxinfelix.bsky.social, by using a technique from PhD thesis work (see attached image). The benefit of this technique is that the resulting quantity is multiplicative.
