Welcome

Hi there!
I am a mathematical physicist based at the University of Nottingham (UK). My main research focus is quantum information theory and its applications.

As a late new year resolution for 2019, I am launching the #PoetRL challenge!
I pledge to write a small poem for each paper I publish in Physical Review Letters.

(Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with PRL or with the American Physical Society!)

Hopefully this will make the papers more accessible to a broader community, and overall it could give rise to an interesting crossover experiment between physical sciences and literary arts.

Calling all my colleagues here: If you find this idea cool and you wish to contribute, please write your own #PoetRL and send it over via the contact page. It could then be published on this website.

It's a catastrophe!

Anderson perturbed his Fermi Sea, To his surprise, he found orthogonality,       He proclaimed: "A catastrophe indeed",       But now we must concede, That it's just due to energy-time uncertainty! About this #PoetRL Paper Title:   Orthogonality Catastrophe as a Consequence of the Quantum Speed Limit Authors:   Thomás Fogarty, Sebastian Deffner, Thomas Busch, and Steve Campbell Reference:   Phys.

A (no-)distillation poem

This is a distillation poem In two parts: purely, the first one States the ground of the problem, The other shows it can be outdone. Part two is bound to half the lines But strictly words from the first piece. A no-go theorem undermines The rates of coherence to increase. Coherence is strictly bound But, from purely states, Distillation can ground The increase of rates. About this #PoetRL Paper Title:   Generic Bound Coherence under Strictly Incoherent Operations Authors:  Ludovico Lami, Bartosz Regula, and Gerardo Adesso Reference:   Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 150402 – Published 19 April 2019 URL:    https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.122.150402 Poem by:   gerardo.adesso@gmail.com #PoetRL ID:   ¶11
