No-go theorems for sublinear-depth group designs
Abstract Constructing ensembles of circuits which efficiently approximate the Haar measure over various groups is a fundamental problem in quantum information theory, with breakthrough recent results showing that for the unitary group this can be achieved with depths scaling logarithmically in the system size.

Historical Distortion: An Exploration of a 20th Century Continuity
ignore the tragedy over again and mask it with the perfume and grandeur of a story gilded with the iridescent lies of what never was or could be fantasy masks the truth turning jagged edges into the finest silk lies like the most saccharine love running in DNA like inherited dis — — ease.
Hinterlands
The revolution told us there would be a kanyaw But walked for days on these mountainless plains Then, suddenly, a rhapsody of violence — a shout They shot us with guns, us with shields and spears The invaders stole our women then our gold Told us to chop our hair instead of heads And threw us in schools for cross and sword While they devastated our lands under our nose In their benevolence, they called us dogeaters stuck us in cages across the widest ocean Into pens as browns and whites alike...
Tubo
Lucas hid behind the tall grass that grew on the side of the road. Armed with the old knife his father gave him, he waited on the signal that Jose would give once the truck carrying the sugarcane would pass by. One long whistle followed by three short stops that would give Lucas enough time to jump from the tall grass, give short chase to the truck, and cut off pieces of sugarcane he hoped would be enough of a treat not only for him and Jose but for their little sister who had just begun to teeth.
An Exploration of Virtual Modality on Learning among Graduate Students
I am a living, walking death Face illumine with the infinite Pixels upon pixels plastered Black mirror stretching forever Can we hope to understand the infinite? Finitude cannot underscore knowing Library of Babel, ones and zeroes Forever is a curse — not a promise No vision, no ears, mere gaze and nods I not you nor me nor echo nor light Reverse chrysalis of mind of soul Omniscient panopticon onto self Four white walls of sham modernity Have I wandered into the insane asylum?
Gunita
Maria Asuncion got up from the rocking chair after five days of watching the tyrannical downpour of the monsoon rains from the balcony of the ancient house that overlooked the town plaza. She watched as the carcasses of drowned horses, still strapped to their carriages, float in the torrential flow and bloat of the river that bent around the pueblo.

Las MontaƱas
I. Pulag Do the gods still live here? Not the pantheon of the plains or the saints that replaced them but the pantheon of these pottery shard mountains calling out in ancient songs ancient names. Does Kabunyan still lord over the craggy hills and gushing rivers of this Cordillera? Adikaila, watching over his creation? Do the Lumawig and Kabigat still teach? Or, like the anitos, have they become mere ornaments of wood holding no meaning? II.
Iskwater
(Originally published in Kimata under the Committee of Culture and the Arts, UP Baguio) Stepping down from the taxi, I spot a group of people gathering around the bulletin board of the barangay hall. I reach back into the taxi to get my change and drag out the two bayongs of vegetables, meat, and other foodstuffs that the sari-sari store needed for another two weeks. Dragging it out, I could feel the weight of the groceries cause the old Abaca weave to strain and rub against one another.
Ilocandia: Vigan
I awake to the static of a TV cutting through the silence. The half-light was enveloping the streets as people began to trickle through and into the city. I walk into the bathroom and splash water on my face, growing more aware of the waking world around me. I hear Taho vendors and their opera-like cries declaring their wares, Puto vendors and their horns singing pootoh pootoh pootoh, the hum of engines and the neighing of horses freshly woke.
- in itself.
i. The night shrouded me. That thin mist and shower of rain. The rain was oppressive, keeping me under shade and breathing in my own cigarette smoke fading into fog - I could not tell which was which. Moving around in that city stared down with a thousand self-proclaimed saints - a stained glass church of handless saints a thousand candles lit. San Pablo, pray for us, San Valentino, pray for us, Santa Catalina, pray for us, San Pedro, pray for us, Santa Magdalena, pray for us.
Disjunct
By N. Mozart Diaz Photo by Jake Blucker on Unsplash vii. All roads lead but where do words? Where do stars? Highway streetlights like a river of stars taking me Disjunct constellations of lights in sleepy towns Galaxies in cities of urban jungle Mere fireflies in endless rice fields Light leading lost leading where? I don't know. I'm just going.
Beats for the Downbeat
Poems performed for Mt. Cloud's Spoken Word Events I. Perhaps this is the sense of an ending Our cafe Alone in the rain Boring restaurant jazz Misty mountain fog Pine trees and crows Alone In transit II.
A Tale of Two Vanilla Lattes
I. A wall of high rise buildings separate the rich from the poor. My eyes and gaze settle on the sparkling lights and cheap facades of what I once thought was progress. I sip my vanilla latte, the first I've ever had. I am fifteen - nothing else mattered other than this coffee and a fresh copy of A Farewell to Arms I bought in the gigantic bookstore down the street. It rained lightly and the humidity rose. I sipped slowly as the air conditioning worked to cool the searing heat off of the latte.

From Spain to Nazi Territory: Spanish Republicans and the Horrors of Exile.
On the 26th of January, 1939, the city of Barcelona was captured by Franco’s Fascist forces. ABC, a Francoist newspaper, claimed that Barcelona had been “liberated by the glorious Spanish Army”. This “liberation”, however, triggered a massive mobilisation of women, men, and children to the Spanish border with France. They were Republicans, Leftists, Communists, Anarchists; people who did not subscribe to Franco’s ideology and who feared the consequences of the Generalísimo’s win.
