| | Last Spring I took part in the Simons Institute's semester on Quantum Hamiltonian Complexity. The semester was a great success, with an excellent batch of long-term participants and many fruitful interactions. The Institute asked me to write a short "Research Vignette" presenting, to a broad audience, an example scientific outcome of the programme. You can...

| | The theoretical computer science community and science at large suffered a great tragedy today. Luca Trevisan has been one of my intellectual and personal heroes since I joined the field. His work on pseudorandomness, complexity, cryptography and algorithms has been a strong influence on my work. Whenever I wanted to understand a new topic, often...

| In our last primer we saw the Fourier series, which flushed out the notion that a periodic function can be represented as an infinite series of sines and cosines. While this is fine and dandy, and quite a powerful tool, it does not suffice for the real world. In the real world, very little is truly periodic, especially since human measurements can only record a finite period of time. Even things we wish to explore on this blog are hardly periodic (for instance, image analysis).
