• [May 2024] Our paper on Pseudomagic has been accepted to Physical Review Letters as an Editor's Suggestion! Phys.org has also published a feature article on it. 

• [Apr 2024] We uploaded our paper on non-unital noise and it has been selected as a contributed talk at TQC 2024.

• [Apr 2024] Our paper on learning quantum processes without control of their input state has been accepted to PRX Quantum.

• [Mar 2024] I was an invited speaker at the APS March Meeting, 2024. Sumeet Khatri gave the talk on my behalf. 

• [Mar 2024] I am organizing the workshop Fundamental Limitations to Quantum Computation in Banff, Canada.

• [Mar 2024] Our paper Exponentially tighter bounds on limitations of quantum error mitigation has been accepted to Nature Physics!

• [Jan-May 2024] I will be a long-term visitor at the Quantum Algorithms, Complexity and Fault-tolerance program at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing.

• [Oct-Dec 2023] I gave invited talks on nonunital noise and error mitigation at the IPAM Workshop Mathematical Aspects of Quantum Learning Theory (UCLA, USA), the conference Quantum Techniques in Machine Learning (Geneva, Switzerland), the IQC Quantum Innovators Workshop (Waterloo, Canada) and a Workshop on Hybrid Classical-Quantum Algorithms (Budapest, Hungary). The talk has also been invited to the 2024 APS March Meeting. 

• [Oct 2023] We uploaded our paper on learning small circuits (both their output states and their unitary action) to the arXiv.
