If you are aware of an interesting new academic paper (that has been published in a peer-reviewed journal or has appeared on the arXiv), a conference talk (at an official professional scientific meeting), an external blog post (by a professional scientist) or a news item (in the mainstream news media), which you think might make an interesting topic for an FQXi blog post, then please contact us at
forums@fqxi.org with a link to the original source and a sentence about why you think that the work is worthy of discussion. Please note that we receive many such suggestions and while we endeavour to respond to them, we may not be able to reply to all suggestions.
Please also note that we do not accept unsolicited posts and we cannot review, or open new threads for, unsolicited articles or papers. Requests to review or post such materials will not be answered. If you have your own novel physics theory or model, which you would like to post for further discussion among then FQXi community, then please add them directly to the
"Alternative Models of Reality" thread, or to the
"Alternative Models of Cosmology" thread. Thank you.

In June 2020, the FQXi community lost Jonathan P. Dowling, who was Professor and Hearne Chair of Theoretical Physics at Louisiana State University (LSU). He was well known for his important work on quantum science and technology, particularly for exploiting
quantum entanglement (in the form of a
NOON state) for applications to
quantum computing,
quantum metrology,
quantum sensing, and
quantum imaging. He additionally greatly contributed to fields such as
photonic band-gap structures,
quantum optics,
foundations of quantum mechanics,
boson sampling, and
quantum networks.
Dowling was also very well known for his very cheerful and playful style of communication, and he brightened up the lives of many students and colleagues throughout his stellar career. Science discussions with him were always great fun and quite memorable. His personal style made a very positive and unforgettable impression on very many scientists throughout the world. His untimely death (he was just 65 years young) shocked the quantum community around the world. Since last June, Dowling’s colleagues and friends have written an outpouring of condolences and support on social media. Dowling will be dearly missed by all the many people who had the fortune to meet him.
