🎉 What an amazing week it was participating at ICFP/SPLASH 2025 — the first-ever joint edition of these two flagship SIGPLAN conferences, held in the vibrant city of Singapore! The energy, diversity, and depth of ideas exchanged were simply inspiring. 💡 The week was filled with outstanding talks, thought-provoking discussions, and so many opportunities to connect with brilliant minds from across the programming languages and software engineering communities. It was truly a celebration of innovation at the intersection of theory and practice. ⚛️ I was particularly pleasantly impressed by the Quantum session, where I had the honor to present our two papers published at OOPSLA: 👉 AccelerQ: Accelerating Quantum Eigensolvers with Machine Learning on Quantum Simulators https://lnkd.in/eTPP9YcD 👉 Shaking Up Quantum Simulators with Fuzzing and Rigour https://lnkd.in/eDCgaG-n It was incredibly rewarding to share our work and engage in deep discussions about the future of quantum software testing and hybrid quantum-classical computation. 🌇 Beyond the conference, Singapore was absolutely stunning — from the breathtaking Marina Bay skyline to the amazing diversity of food across hawker centres and the lively Lau Pa Sat atmosphere, every moment was a delight. And the visit to the gorgeous Orchid National Garden was the perfect way to unwind and appreciate the beauty of this vibrant city. 🌍 Huge thanks to the organizers and all participants who made this conference such a memorable and intellectually stimulating experience. Looking forward to seeing how the dialogue between programming languages and quantum computing continues to grow!

AccelerQ: Accelerating Quantum Eigensolvers With Machine Learning on Quantum Simulators (SPLASH 2025 - OOPSLA) - SPLASH 2025 | Avner Bensoussan
🙏 I'm honored to share that two of our papers have been accepted at OOPSLA 2025! It's been a long and exciting journey, and I'm thrilled to see our work recognized at this top venue. 🔬 The first paper, AccelerQ: Accelerating Quantum Eigensolvers With Machine Learning on Quantum Simulators, reframes the challenge of tuning NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) algorithms as a hyperparameter optimization problem — opening the door for the software engineering and ML communities to engage with quantum algorithm optimisation in novel ways. 🧪 The second, Shaking Up Quantum Simulators with Fuzzing and Rigour, introduces a powerful combination of fuzz testing and formal methods to systematically uncover bugs in quantum simulators — pushing for more reliable quantum software stacks. 🌏 Looking forward to presenting both papers in Singapore and connecting with the amazing SPLASH/OOPSLA community. See you there! https://lnkd.in/eT6e5XPB https://lnkd.in/eEBaYW-T

🎉 Thrilled to share that I have successfully passed my Upgrade Viva with no revisions! 🚀 It was a great opportunity to present my progress on my project, Testing Hybrid Quantum-Classical Programs, and to discuss my future plans. I’m particularly excited to explore how Quantum Information Theory can help define a formal notion of Testability in a quantum context—paving the way for more robust and reliable quantum systems. ⚡️Looking forward to the next steps!

✨ Had an amazing time at the King’s Quantum Annual Symposium today! 📄 Super proud to have presented my poster on A Taxonomy of Real Faults in Hybrid Quantum-Classical Architectures—a project that gathered and categorised real faults from online sources and expert interviews to better understand Hybrid Quantum-Classical Architectures as a software engineering paradigm, and to propose guidelines for building more robust and reliable hybrid systems. You can read the paper here: https://lnkd.in/ehJnMsHx ⛰️ The day was packed with brilliant talks, including an unforgettable keynote from Professor Sir Peter Knight, who reminded us that “we are in front of a triply exponentially scaling mountain, and we are going to climb it.” Couldn’t think of a better metaphor for what it feels like to work in quantum right now—challenging, but full of possibility. ⚛️ Even more exciting is being part of King’s Quantum, a vibrant and growing team with amazing new researchers coming in. The future looks bright—and weird, and entangled. 📸 (Pic below from Peter Knight’s talk!)

🌍 What a fantastic week at the PICS 2024 Summer School at ITU Copenhagen, despite the not-so-summer weather! 🎤 The speakers and the range of cutting-edge applications of probabilistic methods in theoretical computer science were truly inspiring. It’s remarkable how these techniques are advancing research across various fields. 🖼 I presented my poster, A Taxonomy of Real Fault in Hybrid Quantum Classical Architectures, for the second time. It was fascinating to engage with a broader computer science audience after previously presenting to a quantum computing group at Oxford. The discussions were incredibly enriching! 🤝 I also had the chance to connect with PhD students and researchers from around the world. Their fresh ideas and approaches were truly motivating, and it was rewarding to explore potential collaborations. ✨ Proud to be part of this vibrant community, I return with fresh ideas and new perspectives for my research. 🚀 Excited for continued growth and collaboration in this field!
