Some talks about classical simulation of quantum computers, given at Quantum Emulation 2024 in the British Library, London. Please forgive the temporary echo and constantly changing microphone and sound quality, as well as front tooth recently chipped in Switzerland, and the misremembrance of my name by my own company. 

Here is a shaky live-coding demonstration of QuESTlink in Mathematica, given on the same day. Such endeavours never work out.

​Anyone unlucky enough to be around me through the last 6 years will know that a profound (erm) dissatisfaction with the Oxford University student experience is my worst-kept secret. My collection of frustrating anecdotes has hit critical mass and spilled over into a satirical student survival guide. It is bound to offend, so wear your thickest skin.

I was an undeserving invited speaker at the Quantum Innovation 2022 symposium, presenting unpublished research on classically simulating noisy quantum variational algorithms. This was miraculously the first successfully recorded talk of my PhD, yet frustratingly, the first I gave at 7am (4pm in Tokyo) after staying up all night. Watching below for some delirious slurring.

I recently completed my PhD thesis, having littered it with subtle jokes and snarky remarks. So that they won't go forever unread, buried within a painfully long and uninteresting grave, I collate my favourite below:

I recently read Borges’ Ficciones and was mesmerised by the prose, even after its translation from Spanish. Below I compile my favourite excerpts, grouped by why I like them.

I recently wrote some very ridiculous notes for a highschool maths class at John Monash Science School. They may prove an interesting read to young mathematicians, older programmers, or general fans of tomfoolery. Read below, or download here.
