Join us for the first Quantum Cambridge–Oxford–Warwick Colloquium (Quantum COW, if you insist...), 11–12 December 2025 at the University of Oxford. This meeting focuses on Quantum Low-Depth Complexity, with talks, tutorials, and open discussions. Details:

⛔ UPDATE The Fen Causeway is currently closed due to emergency works please follow signed diversion.

I have a postdoc position starting in October. Exciting opportunity to work on a UK-Canada quantum networks project with Alex May, Debbie Leung, Thomas Jennewein, Erika Andersson

The Cambridge Centre for Human-Inspired Artificial Intelligence (CHIA) will be launching both an MPhil and PhD in Human-Inspired AI in October 2025. They are advertising for various related roles, starting with two Assistant Professors: https://t.co/F001avlg8U

More information about the Assistant Professor positions can be found here:  https://t.co/kjIgrx5AG3

starting with two Assistant Professors and a Postgraduate Co-ordinator. We will also be hiring a Teaching Associate in the coming months. The Assistant Professors will co-lead the world's first full-time postgraduate course in Existential Risk Studies.

Job and MPhil opportunities! (Fwd) The Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER) will be launching an MPhil in Global Risk and Resilience this year, with our first cohort of students planned for October 2025. We are now beginning to advertise for various roles

it's very amusingly written and thought provoking. Freely available at

The first referendum passed, but was non-binding; they are now working on a second, binding, one. The book is v readably written and discusses also larger issues of law, democracy, politics and life. Recommended, whether or not you are likely to align with the campaign:

Joined this week for the launch of a new book, Radically Legal, by @jkkusiak It's focussed on her work on referenda in Berlin trying to use a neglected article in the German constitution to enable expropriation/socialisation of Berlin housing from private equity.

I am extremely honoured to announce that today marks my first day as an Assistant Professor at @Cambridge_Uni, at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. I am very excited about the challenges and opportunities ahead as I embark on this new chapter!

Sorry, 26 *April* 2024 is the deadline. But why not do it in March anyway and relax over Easter :-) ?

The Cambridge Centre for the Study of Existential Risk invites abstracts for their conference in Sep 2024! Contributions from diverse fields and participants that have not engaged with CSER before v welcome, by 26.3.24. https://t.co/8EygBrVtN5 #CallForAbstracts #CCCR24

Still maybe time to register or at least QR the abstracts

Hub #funded #PhD Opportunity on #Quantum #Information in Spacetime, with our @Adrian_Kent at @FacultyMaths @Cambridge_Uni! Deadline 04/01/24! Find out more and apply via: https://t.co/0ZhVZx46qG

Cambridge's VC launching the new Institute for Technology and Humanity- exciting new venture

Last night the Las Vegas sphere was used to simulate a quantum computer. The fidelity was amazing, but scaling beyond one qubit will be tough 😣

Excited that the first quantum position verification workshop is under way @Perimeter . Looking fwd to a lot of dialogue and progress. Talks online after the event. Thanks also to @QCommHub , @QuantumIQC (and others) for support.

Follow-up blog post on the concerns about catastrophic risk before the first nuclear bomb test:

New blog post. Some thoughts on the risk of global catastrophe from the Manhattan Project, prompted by the release of Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer". Comments very welcome! https://t.co/nnZWxvsNFh
