Not a quantum computing pure-play, they also do sensing.

A hot hot place.

Given stuff like arxiv.org/pdf/2107.12475.pdf on Erdős' conjecture on powers of 2, it feels like this one will be somewhere close to computer science/Halting problem issues than number theory. Who knows. This is suggested e.g. at The Busy Beaver Competition: a historical survey by Pascal Michel.

We ust use the if mod notation definition as mentioned at: math.stackexchange.com/questions/4305972/what-exactly-is-a-collatz-like-problem/4773230#4773230

English translation of papers that include the original Quantization as an Eigenvalue Problem by Schrödinger (1926).

Published on Nature at www.nature.com/articles/122990a0 and therefore still paywalled there as of 2023, it's ridiculous.

In 2024 it will fall into the public domain in the US.

A good explanation of how this insane system came up is given at Video "History of Oxford University by Chris Day (2018)".

As if it weren't enough, there are also the 6 Halls: permanent private hall.

The colleges are controlled by its fellows, a small self-electing body of highly successful scholars, usually in the dozens per college number it seems. Each college also usually has different types of fellows, e.g. see he university college page: www.univ.ox.ac.uk/about/college-fellowships/ (archive)

The college system does has its merits though, as it instates a certain sense of Hogwarts "belonging" to a certain group, so it might help students get better support for their learning projects from older students, or through the tutoring system. Of course, all such "belonging" feelings are bad, the correct thing would be to make great online tutorials for all, and answer questions in the open. But oh well, humans are dumb.

The college you are in impacts the quality of your courses, because tutorials are per-college. As of 2023, Ciro Santilli spoke to some students of the Computer science course of the University of Oxford, and was told that in some cases where you don't have anyone who can give the tutorial, you instead get a "class", i.e. a P.h.D. student going through question sheets with no interaction in the C.S. department, rather than a deep interactive discussion over the college fire. How can this system be so broken, it is beyond belief

This functionality is somewhat related to fraternities and sororities in 2000's United States.

E.g.: thecollegestore.co.uk/products/ladies-oxford-college-puffer-jacket?variant=40590030864549 Black with 5 rows, on left chest "colege name", logo, "Oxford", and right chest optional initials (or sometimes other identifiers/nicknames) to help distinguish from all the other people's identical clothes.

This has a whitelabel version: www.workweargiant.co.uk/product/result-urban-holkham-down-feel-jacket/, the name appears to be "Holkham Down Feel Jacket".

Circa 2020, these are likely given out by each college for free, and are widely used.

If you look 20 and wear one of those, it's almost an ID, you can get anywhere that does not require a key card, porters won't look at you twice!

For a critique/history of this insanity, see also: Section "Colleges of the University of Oxford".

It is hard to distinguish between colonies of unicellular organism and multicellular organism as there is a continuum between both depending on how well integrated they cells are.

Can be thought as being produced from gluon-gluon lines of the Feynman diagrams of quantum chromodynamics. This is in contrast to quantum electrodynamics, in which there are no photon-photon vertices, because the photon does not have charge unlike gluons.

This phenomena makes the strong force be very very different from electromagnetism.
