It's nice to find out that I'm still an influencer in particle theory:
"We thank John Preskill for suggesting the phrase “One Sum To Rule Them All,” which inspired the title of this paper."

Interesting format for a review article. 24 brief chapters, each offering perspective from a small subset of the 69 authors on a particular topic.

Siblings: Three of my scientific "children" (Dariel Mok, Hui Khoon Ng, Hoi-Kwong Lo) gather in Singapore. I've been blessed with many wonderful students.
While attending the Q2B Silicon Valley conference in December, I had this enjoyable conversation with Antonella Navarro, host of The Quantum Revolution podcast.

It's fun to describe quantum teleportation in terms of particles that move both forward and backward in time. And it's more than just fun: the intuition derived from that description can guide us to new applications.

Every December since 2017, I've delivered a keynote at Q2B Silicon Valley, commenting on recent progress in quantum computing. Here is what I said this time. It's been a good year for quantum.

In predicting properties of electronic structure or deciphering signals produced by Nature, will classical artificial intelligence eat quantum's lunch? Here @robbieking1000.bsky.social considers the issue from the perspective of complexity theory.

The Institute for Quantum Information (and Matter) @caltech.edu is celebrating its 25th anniversary. It has been a great run so far, and quantum information science is more fun now than ever!

"... strengthening the quantum innovation ecosystem, accelerating discoveries that power next-generation technologies, and securing American leadership in quantum computing, hardware, and applications."
The DOE National Quantum Information Science Research Centers continue their mission.

"... physicists adore apparent contradictions ..."
Yes we do! Doesn't everyone?

The annual retreat of @caltech.edu's Institute for Quantum Information and Matter (IQIM) is an opportunity to spend the weekend with some of my favorite scientists. It is always an uplifting and illuminating experience.
Now under construction: The bridge connecting research on quantum matter and quantum information in the Ginsburg Center @caltech.edu to the high energy theory group in Downs-Lauritsen Laboratory. Exciting!
We are optimistic about the quantum future, but there's a lot of work to do.
When and how will quantum computing broadly benefit humanity? Despite exhilarating recent progress, we still don’t know. Here my friend Jens Eisert and I assess the current status and the challenges ahead.

Aside from Yang-Mills theory and parity nonconservation, Yang made so many profound contributions to physics! One that deeply impressed me as I was starting grad school: a 1975 paper with T. T. Wu highlighting the role of fiber bundles in gauge theory.

Thanks, Ingrid Fadelli, for this nice article about our recently published paper with Robert Huang and Mehdi Soleimanifar. The paper describes a surprisingly simple protocol for verifying that a many-qubit state in the lab matches a desired target state.

Building on this achievement, Devoret, Martinis, and many others are constructing quantum computers, powerful tools for exploring quantum science and solving very hard computational problems. Congratulations!
The pioneering work of Clarke, Devoret, and Martinis showed that very cold electrical circuits behave in ways that exhibit fundamental principles of quantum physics.

6,100 neutral-atom qubits trapped in a grid by lasers @caltech.edu ... is a lot.

I’m deeply honored to receive the 2025 Academic Pioneer of the Year Award from the Quantum World Congress. Curiosity-driven fundamental research revealed the promise of quantum science and technology, and will be just as vital for future advances.
