The Quantum World: Research

Nearly all my quantum papers can be found here. Here's a few that may be of (slightly!) broader interest:

• When can one entangled state be transformed into another?
• A review: majorization and quantum entanglement
• How to understand quantum computing as free fall in a curved geometry. And some preliminary investigations into how that curved geometry works.
• Quantum teleportation: teleporting a quantum state from one end of a molecule to the other

Artificial Intelligence

• Using Artificial Intelligence to Augment Human Intelligence
• Neural Networks and Deep Learning
• Is AlphaGo Really Such a Big Deal? (spoiler: yes!)
• The Rise of Computer-Aided Explanation
• Distill: A machine learning journal aimed at clear exposition. I'm a founding member of the Steering Committee.
