Physics based computing stuff makes me happy. London raised, London based, and generally a smiley face.

New paper with @MCrichigno at @Phasecraft. AI agents optimize quantum circuits, and an exact verifier checks every result. arxiv.org/abs/2610.31352
The challenge itself is automated too. An agent works with a researcher to build the verifier, tests it, and freezes it. Then the agents compete.
We observed large gains on every problem we tried, from fermion-to-qubit encodings to qubit routing and unitary synthesis. The method applies to any problem with an exact checker.
It's great to see others working in the same direction this week. Excellent papers from Google Quantum AI and Harvard/QuEra/Anthropic:
arxiv.org/abs/2610.23832
arxiv.org/abs/2610.22367
and the inverse square root challenge:

mRNA will be crucial to beating cancer and solving disease but only if we can deliver it to the right cells.
Nanograb's AI-designed multivalent nanoparticles address a cell's unique receptor fingerprint, now proven in vivo across multiple cell types and scaling to many more.

We’ve raised $34M to accelerate our mission to make quantum useful now. Thank you to @pluralplatform , @PlaygroundVC, @novoholdings who co-led this round, and to our returning investors @AlbionVC , @latitudevc and @ParkwalkAdvisor for backing this next chapter.

To reach some consensus about the prospects of near-term (nisq and early ft) quantum computing, we had a 3-day discussion event (“Quantum Now”) in Lapland with both optimists and pessimists. This continued at SeeQA 2024 in Oxford. See our conclusions here arxiv.org/abs/2501.05694

🙌FANTASTIC that 264 women have won seats @HouseofCommons
Up 19 from before #GeneralElection2024 ❤️23 winners were part of @5050Parliament
Network
women's representation now = 41%
Still more work to do to inspire & support women to progress in politics

One of my favourite letters, insightful & humane, from Richard Feynman to a former student who was having a rough time
I was reflecting on it as an argument in favour of scope insensitivity, or even in favour of smaller problems:

Very cool to see the work @NormalComputing get covered by wired. 🔥 🔥
With AI projects booming and the physical limits of silicon looming, some startups are challenging Nvidia's dominance and say it’s time to reinvent the computer chip entirely. trib.al/YV3AgPH
and new scientist!
