Congrats to Scott Aaronson, aka the Optimizer for winning a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientist and Engineers. Scott, please remember to ask Obama for more dollars to build a big old quantum computer 🙂 Cheaper than a spy satellite, we promise.
In other news, an article in the New York Times about quantum computing is here. Mentions IBM, Yale, UCSB, ion traps, photon sources, and S-wave P-wave D-wave.
O brave new quantum world!
