The Role of Logic and Automata in Understanding Transformers
The advent of transformers has in recent years led to powerful and revolutionary Large Language Models (LLMs). Despite this, our understanding on the capability of transformers is still meager. In this invited contribution, we recount the rapid progress in the last few years to the question of what transformers can do. In particular, we will see the integral role of logic and automata (also with some help from circuit complexity) in answering this question. We also mention several open problems…

Consequences of Undecidability in Physics on the #TheoryOfEverything: #universe is a #ComputerSiimulation: https://news.ok.ubc.ca/2025/10/30/ubco-study-debunks-the-idea-that-the-universe-is-a-computer-simulation/ - new study uses logic and physics to definitively answer one of science's biggest questions.

1/ C had a full on toddler meltdown last night. I spent the whole day crunching numbers to see whether we could afford to buy a house she likes. The answer was ‘possibly not’.
The thing is, she has a chunk of cash to spend, so the purchase would be ok, however we’re running at a monthly deficit. That’s ok at the moment with this buffer in the bank that’s gradually draining away, but if we spend that, then we’ll have a problem. She went ape shit when I explained that to her.

Impurities in cryogenic solids: a new platform for hybrid quantum systems
Hybrid quantum systems offer a promising platform for studying quantum phenomena and developing applied technologies, benefiting from the individual strengths of their components. Here, we present a novel hybrid quantum platform composed of solid noble gas crystals doped with spin impurities atop superconducting resonators. The noble gas crystals provide a soft, inert, predominantly spin-0 host matrix for the atomic impurities, while the alkali atoms have addressable and long-lived hyperfine tr…

Enabling full localization of qubits and gates with a multi-mode coupler
Tunable couplers are a key building block of superconducting quantum processors, enabling high on-off ratios for two-qubit entangling interactions. While crosstalk can be mitigated in idle mode, conventional single-mode couplers lack independent control over interactions in the one- and two-excitation manifolds, leading to unitary errors such as leakage during gate operations. Moreover, even at the nominal decoupled point, residual wavefunction delocalization persists, causing unintended qubit-…

Ich bin echt kein Freund von Eierlikör, aber der fortschrittsfeindliche Angriff des alten weißen Herr vanporten auf das Start-Up #LikörOhneEi macht Lust auf Ausprobieren.
Auch wieder so eine typisch deutsche Innovationsstory. Superreicher Typ investiert null in eigenen Fortschritt und ganz viel Geld in die Bekämpfung von Fortschritt der anderen.

Namensstreit: „Likör ohne Ei“ siegt vor Gericht in Kiel
Darf ein Likör ohne Ei „Likör ohne Ei“ heißen? Ja! In einem kuriosen Namensstreit hat das Landgericht Kiel am Dienstagmorgen das Urteil gesprochen. Der Schutzverband der Spirituosenindustrie ist mit seiner Klage gegen das Start-up Warlich Rum aus Henstedt-Ulzburg abgeblitzt.

Trump Lashes Out at ABC Reporter After Disastrous Vance Interview
Donald Trump refused to take a question from an ABC reporter in his meeting with Argentine President Javier Milei.

Die USA zeigen, was uns bevorstehen könnte, wenn wir den hässlichen Populismus der Rechtsextremen nicht klein kriegen. Trump nutzt das Leid der Bevölkerung zu politischen Erpressung, um Superreichen noch mehr Macht zu verschaffen. Extremer als Merz, aber was wäre in ein paar Jahren?
Gleichzeitig gibt es auch Initiativen aus der US-Bürgerschaft, die Hoffnung machen und zeigen, dass Solidarität weiterhin existiert.
