APS will charge 1,750$ for authors to publish in APS Open Science (a recently introduced journal expected to have a lower impact than PRA) It's hard to imagine who would be willing to pay so much to publish in such a lower-impact journal, especially as free alternatives exist shorturl.at/LRyF2

Had a great (family-friendly!) networking experience. I had the opportunity to meet many (old and new) Humboltian friends. Can't wait for next year!
[Portuguese post!] Vitória importante para os acadêmicos! Bolsistas agora vao ter acesso à seguridade social. É uma vitória da ciência!!!
Had a great time in Paris! Talked about our recent preprint arxiv.org/abs/2509.10949 #QuiDiQua3 was great, lots of greats discussions, and talks. Happy also to catch up on some good friends :) Can't wait for #QuiDiQua4 (next year in Brussels!) #QuantumInfo #Contextuality #QuantumOptics
Rudi B. P. Pietsch, one of the PhD Students I co-supervise (with prof. Plenio) here at the University of Ulm #UniUlm recently published his first ever research article at #PRA! Huge congrats to Rudi and Dani! Its the first of many : ) #QuantumThermodynamics journals.aps.org/pra/abstract...
As one of our main results, we employ novel inequalities to show that for a broad class of energy-conserving interactions there is a critical time tau such that for any time t such that 0 < t < tau an observed heat anomaly implies a violation of a noncontextuality inequality — i.e. contextuality.
I've only recently discovered this nice conference :) If you like work with contextuality, nonclassicality of quasiprobability distributions, weak values, entanglement, and phase-space quantum related topics? Check out QuiDiQua3! This year in Paris! quidiqua3.sciencesconf.org?lang=en
Maybe the most direct abstract ever? Recently a paper in nature made the bold claim that their results constitute real challenges to Bohmian mechanics www.nature.com/articles/s41... In this preprint arxiv.org/abs/2508.04756 Bohmians fight back!! The results challenge Bohm? "No, it does not."
Awesome talk by Christopher Fuchs on the history of quantum mechanics here at the University of Ulm #UUlm #QuantumInformation #QuantumFoundations
Filipa Peres talking about magic (aka nonstabilizerness) monotones, quantifying magic, set magic, and the task of witnessing magic! 🪄🪄🪄 #FoQaCiA workshop #QuantumComputation #Quantumresources
Miriam Backens talking about Pauli flow and an algebraic formulation of it leading to faster flow finding algorithms! #FoQaCiA workshop #QuantumInfo
Ämin Baumeler presenting a new graph/polytope framework to investigate causality! #FoQaCiA #QuantumSWITCH
Adan Cabello now telling us how he wants to go beyond Bell and use Bell inequalities... ...to bound the ability of superdeterministic models of violating Bell inequalities!
#FoQaCiA school ended and the workshop is just starting. First talk on higher order quantum information by Marco Tulio Quintino.
Many discussions continued in the streets of #USTC, luckily China is so advanced in quantum technologies that Bloch spheres are everywhere, making it easier to explain concepts such as quantum coherence.
Last December I had the opportunity to talk about our recent results on quasiprobability distributions IN CHINA (still can't believe it). Had a great time at #USTC Hefei, talking with the group led by Prof. G C Guo and co-supervised by Yu Guo, together with Prof. Shuming Cheng. Great discussions!
