Thanks for using PASITHEA as an example of inverse design algorithms! That project was really cool and I hope it is developed further. @mariokrenn.bsky.social @thematterlab.bsky.social @accelerationc.bsky.social

10 minutes ago I am excited to share a perspective on the much-needed topic of hashtag#safety for hashtag#selfdrivinglaboratories. As the field progresses, understanding the challenges and gaps in building safe setups will be crucial for scaling up this technology! doi.org/10.26434/che...

Come and join a growing and exciting effort at the @uoft.bsky.social on #ai for #materialsdiscovery #chemsky as #assistantprofessor Please reshare massively

Trying to make sense of o3's recent score (25%) on the FrontierMath dataset.

Great, Sepp Hochreiter arrived! :)

We are happy to introduce k-agents: our knowledge-centred laboratory automation framework 🤖. ⚛️ Quantum computers are becoming more powerful—but also more complex. 🤔 How do we build AI systems that know how to operate them? 📄 Read the paper: arxiv.org/abs/2412.07978 #AI #LLM #QuantumComputing

Happy to see our work in its published version at @naturecomms.bsky.social ! We developed an AI framework that autonomously discovers new experimental designs in super-resolution microscopy 🔬🤖✨ 1/🧵

The papers and posters for our Machine Learning and Physical Sciences workshop at #NeurIPS2024 are online #ml4ps2024. Come check it out on Sunday ml4physicalsciences.github.io/2024/

Very happy about our super-fast JAX simulator for optics, with an application in automated discovery of new microscopes. 🔬🤖🧠 Spearheaded by Carla Rodriguez, /w Soeren Arlt & domain expert Leonhard Moeckl. Fantastic collab made possible by the Max Planck environment! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Honoured to be in the 50 scientists that inspire from Cell Press this year! www.cell.com/news-do/50-i...

Finally on #arxiv: Massive @cmsexperiment.bsky.social paper searching for anomalies in data: arxiv.org/abs/2412.03747 No new physics but it shows that ML-based anomaly detection methods can indeed be applied to collider data and offer a broad sensitivity to different potential signals!

I was thrilled to hear about the surface code when Alexei Kitaev visited @caltech.edu in April 1997. It's heartening to see the hardware catching up with the theory of quantum error correction. There's still far to go but this is encouraging progress. www.quantamagazine.org/quantum-comp...

Great to see our new surprising AI-discovered method to entangle distant particles covered by @newscientist.bsky.social . Original Paper: journals.aps.org/prl/abstract...

2-dimensional analogies are often used to motivate physical concepts in our 3+1 dimensional world. But a world with 2 space and 1 time dimensions would look *very* different from our world Some crucial differences:🧵 1/10

Two talks at CERN today related to first results using simulation-based inference (likelihood-free inference) at the LHC. CMS (talk by Calandri): indico.cern.ch/event/138922... ATLAS (talk by Gosh): indico.cern.ch/event/1479992/ ATLAS paper: arxiv.org/abs/2412.01600

Very happy about this new PRL paper! 🥳 It's an experiment of an AI-discovered idea that was overlooked for 25+ years: An alternative to entanglement swapping for entangling two independent photons - without (!) using entanglement or Bell state measurements. Paper: journals.aps.org/prl/abstract...

thinking of calling this "The Illusion Illusion" (more examples below)

I brought up the topic of #AISafety to my parents. I mentioned organizations that are deeply concerned about AI taking over humanity. My dad didn't like "science fiction". He is realistic and grounded in the present. I didn’t finish and he objected: "Let me explain why that can't happen!" ->

If a clever algorithm finds a super-human solution: What did the machine discover that humans have overlooked? Happy to have one answer for a super-human quantum optics solution published in IOP's #Quantum Science & Technology: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... by Soeren Arlt & Carlos Gonzalez

Happy to see our work on boosting creative idea-generation for scientists mentioned in DeepMind's text. See the corresponding paper, on SciMuse spearheaded by @xmgu.bsky.social: arxiv.org/abs/2405.17044 One thing is clear: the future will be exciting :)

Great policy essay by DeepMind on impactful AI for Science (goo.gle/4i3Aq9A).

Had the opportunity to visit the Wendelstein 7X nuclear fusion reactor in Greifswald, Germany. It is a Stellerator & the magnetic confinement design were only possible with computers in the 90s. The control room looks like one for NASA's rocket launches - absolutely amazing science & technology!

One week left to apply to this position in my group.

Open postdoc position available in my group in AI-assisted molecular simulations: https://www.rug.nl/about-ug/work-with-us/job-opportunities/?details=00347-02S000B1LP&cat=wp #aichem

Our multimodal follow-up to ChemBench. Our team went to the lab to create images to challenge leading vision language models. Check the paper arxiv.org/abs/2411.16955 to learn more.
