QIP 2006?

So how was QIP 2006, peoples? I hope it was cold, because every QIP I’ve been to I freezed my rear end off.

CSE 599d Lecture Notes 5

The Allegro notes continue. Today’s notes are brought to you courtesy the great espresso drink “an Americano.”

SQuInT 2006 Program

The SQuInT conference program is now available online. OK, I am totally biased, but SQuInT is still one of my favorite conferences. Why? Green chiles! Just kiding. It is one of my favorite conferences because it is one of the few remaining conferences where you still see a good mix of experimental and theoretical quantum computing work and a good mix of computer science and physics. Of course there will always be theoreticians who are bored by experimental talks, and experimentalists who are bored by the obtuse theoreticians. Similarly there will always be computer scientists who don’t care much for the physics and physicists who don’t much care for the computer science. But I got into this field exactly because it does allow me to see both of these worlds. If you ask what I have missed the most in the last few years in going to conferences is that I haven’t seen as much experimental physics as I used to see. I therefore find it awesome that SQuInT still strives for a mixture of the often difuse worlds of quantum information science.
On a related note QIP 2006 starts next week. I am sad that I won’t be able to attend, but I’m guessing you will get good coverage from Scott Aaronson on his blog Shtetl-Optimized.

CSE 599d Lecture Notes 4

More notes for CSE599d Quantum Computing. I am calling these notes the Allegro notes because I have been spending a lot of time at the local coffee house called “Allegro.” Well at least it gives me a good excuse for the many many mistakes in the notes: they are obviously the fault of all the caffeine I consume at Allegro.

Link Dumpage

My goal, of course, is to keep you from being productive (hence making me look more productive, wah hah hah!) Luckily some of my readers are kind enough to send me links that will aid me in this quest. The first, is from Tom, who send me a link to AtomChip® Quantum® II processor 6.8GHz with 256MB on-board memory. By the time we actually build a quantum computer, I fear that all of the good product names will have been taken!
And just in case you wanted to know about the end of the world in 2012, there is Prophet’s Manual – Fractal Supersymmetry of Double Helix. Chaos, physics, and biology…nice! When I was a graduate student our group consisted of physicist, chemists, and mathematicians. We were always looking for a biologist, so we could write a quantum bio nano paper.
