Why Charles Bennett and Giles Brassard Won the Turing Award

Bennett and Brassard didn’t just improve cryptography, they removed its weakest assumption. Instead of relying on difficult maths, their work anchored security in the laws of physics, where eavesdropping becomes detectable by design. That shift didn’t just launch quantum cryptography; it forced a rethink of what computation and security actually are.

Microsoft Expands Copilot’s AI Brain: Why Claude Is Joining the Mix Microsoft has begun quietly reshaping the architecture behind Microsoft 365 Copilot, and the change tells us a lot about where enterprise AI is heading. Until… Read More »Claude in MS Copilot

When Code Eats Creativity: Discovering My Works in the Anthropic Compensation List

✍️ Ever wondered whether your books could end up as fuel for an AI — without you ever knowing? I discovered two of mine did. Now Anthropic has agreed to pay US $1.5 billion to authors in what may be the first major AI-copyright settlement. This post explores what that means — not just for the cheque, but for the future of creative rights, attribution and consent in the AI era. 🔍📚

Normalisation: A True Workflow for Mathematical Physics

In computational physics, the devil is often in the scales. This post explores how normalisation—when grounded in sound physical principles—can transform unstable simulations into elegant, interpretable models. From wave equations to diffraction integrals, it’s a practical workflow I’ve relied on for years, now distilled into a new paper and shared for the wider community.
