On the Road Again

Last week I was in Boulder for a workshop on ion trap quantum computing. Basically nearly everyone who is working on ion trap architectures for quantum computing was there, which was pretty incredible. A highlight of the workshop, besides the excellent experimental results, was that I got to see one of the participants describe how the ions will be shuttled around using his feet and then turning this description into a dance step. The ion trap boogie, or something like that. Won’t it be great to see the actual boogie in the ion traps?

  1. so as a Cavity QED type guy, I’ll need to bounce between the walls to simulate photons in a cavity??? I’ll let my students give that talk 🙂

  2. Dude, I will be happy to see the ion trap boogie on more feet. That sounds like fun!
    It reminds me of the E&M Wave, delightfully dorkiest dance ever.
