Not a bad start to the year, with last preprint out yesterday as a rapid communication in JCP, alongside preceding one getting accepted to @physrevapplied.bsky.social the very same day! For anyone in Rome for S3IC 2026 next week, Dr Smith’s got a special treat: s3ic2026.exordo.com/programme/pr...

Wow, the quant-ph arXiv overflow today is really something. Glad my last PhD related preprint escaped the "noise" (pun intended) by being up earlier this week. Of course I can't resist plugging it again: scirate.com/arxiv/2510.0... We show incoherent control (via PMP) of noisy radical-pair spins.

This is "framable poster" worthy.

Nobel Prize in Literature awarded to Béla Tarr's screenwriting partner, what a day for the cineastes among us!

Nobel prize for physics goes to physics this year

After stretching a bit last year, this year the Nobel committee was determined to give the prize to the physicsiest physics that ever physicsed.

Little sis making big strides!

New preprint just dropped! Took quite a while for this one to get to the finish line, but super fulfilling to take this from an initial seed of an idea from during the early part of my PhD all the way to a concrete study. #Quantum #quantummetrology #technology #quantumlimits #Science

What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders? Quantum computers are useful for a very limited set of questions and those questions are mostly of interest to physicists and chemists.

Still gathering my thoughts after coming back from #Helgoland2025, in a nutshell: it certainly was special. Can’t resist sharing a little sneak peak with Časlav Brukner’s priceless old “Balkan” grandma joke (but am keeping Steven Girvin’s equally entertaining “half the time” quip to myself).

Latest paper is out, started as Wenhao’s masters project @dondersinst.bsky.social, then completed during his @euerasmusplus.bsky.social supported visiting studentship @lsiexeter.bsky.social. Findings challenge prevailing principles thought to underly room temperature emergence of bosonic statistics.

Quantum thermodynamics: wanna know what all the fuss is about? Read on 👇 arxiv.org/abs/2504.20145 Special thanks to Steve Campbell and many other authors for the effort in putting this together!

Caught up with new season of Black Mirror. Brilliant 1st episode, but the 2nd episode’s wildly inflated perception of a quantum computer (+Everettian multiverse), rendering one a “deus ex machina” in the literal sense, goes beyond the ludicrousness of even last season’s infamous “qomputer” episode.

Welcome to the centenary year of quantum mechanics!

And while @hyperboieva.bsky.social‬ celebrates 100 citations (a superb achievement!), I am contented and grateful for having recently reached a humble 20. Surely again, many at my earlier stage have done better. But it warms my heart that >1 others out there find something worthwhile in my work.

First lead author paper on open loop quantum control of coherent radical pair dynamics now out in PRX Quantum!
