⚛ Can small quantum computers accelerate AI on massive classical data? Yes! I am absolutely thrilled to share our new work proving *honest* exponential quantum advantages in broadly applicable classical tasks. 🧵👇 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2604.07639 Blog: quantumfrontiers.com/2026/04…

I'm very excited to anounce that I'm Co-Founder and CEO at e184 BAI. As AI advances, having a way to work more closely with it is ever more important. That's why we're developing sensitive magnetometers for magnetoencephalography (MEG) towards building a brain-computer interface.

It's awesome to have Kirill Eves and Anis Rahman as Co-Founders, and it's great to be working closely with Peter Zhegin on this. We're currently hiring core engineers from our network, and will be advertizing further engineering roles soon.

Me today, standing at the blackboard, talking to my Y1 undergrad tutees: “I’m not fallible… I mean I’m not infallible!” …I made a mistake while trying to explain that I sometimes make mistakes :)

Awesome :) I spent an inspiring week in John Clarke’s lab in 2005. He was so kind, eg John and his wife invited me over for dinner
BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2025 #NobelPrize in Physics to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit.”

We were working on a new concept for a SQUID magnetometer, having met at a Gordon Research Conference on quantum technology patents.google.com/patent/US…

James March did his PhD and a short postdoc in my group. He measured the longest T1, T2 and T2* for NV centres in nanodiamonds. He talks about physics on TikTok with 22,000 followers. He’s moving to Melbourne soon so try to hire him if you're based there!

Alex Newman built a diamond magnetometer we'd like to use for cancer surgery. The sensor head is 10 mm across: small enough for keyhole surgery and endoscopy. He could detect the magnetic tracer fluid used in breast cancer surgery. See more in the press: the-independent.com/news/hea…

We were inspired by breast cancer surgeon Stuart Robertson at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) NHS Trust. We got great funding and support from NNL, EPSRC, STFC, Innovate UK and Dstl. We are taking this further with qbiomed.org
