What is the Gravitational Field of a Mass in a Spatially Nonlocal Quantum Superposition?
One question to be answered is whether the gravitational field behaves as the classical superposition of two particles separated by a spatial distance with half the mass located at each position or as a quantum superposition with a far more interesting and subtle behaviour for the gravitational field.

Resource theory of quantum uncomplexity
The greater a state's distance from maximal complexity, or ``uncomplexity,'' the more useful the state is as input to a quantum computation.

Who's Afraid of the Supersymmetric Dark? The Standard Model vs Low-Energy Supergravity
Use of supergravity equations in astronomy and late-universe cosmology is often criticized on three grounds: (i) phenomenological success usually depends on the supergravity form for the scalar potential applying at the relevant energies; (ii) the low-energy scalar potential is extremely sensitive to quantum effects involving very massive particles and so is rarely well-approximated by classical calculations of its form; and (iii) almost all Standard Model particles count as massive for these purposes and none of these are supersymmetric.

Clifford covariance of Wigner functions, positive representation of Pauli measurement, and cohomology
The scheme of quantum computation with magic states, and in particular the role of the Wigner function as an indicator of quantumness, motivate the question of when Clifford-covariant Wigner functions exist, and when Wigner functions exist that represent Pauli measurements positively.
