Graphene quantum dots as qubits, Quantum Zeno effect, and the APS March meeting.
- A group in Zurich has made quantum dots in graphene and demonstrated Coulomb blockade opening up yet another material of promise for quantum dot qubits. Journal article here.
- Lev Vaidman has an itneresting News and Views on some recent work related to the quantum Zeno effect and in particular on this recent Physical Review A article.
- The March meeting of the APS now has its program online. The best way I can figure out of finding sessions sponsered by GQI is going to this page and searching the text of that page.

March is ages away, but it is time to start planning for the APS March meeting, to be held in the beautiful rose city, Portland, Oregon (Note to skiers that Mt. Hood is just a short distance away :) ) Anyway an important part of the March meeting are invites sessions and the quantum computing/…
A note from Ivan Deutsch, Secretary-Treasurer of the APS GQI topical group about the winners of the best student paper awards:
We are pleased to announce the Best Student Paper awards for the 2009 APS March Meeting. For the best experimental paper, the winner is
Eric Lucero, UCSB
for his paper J17…
The APS March meeting is next week as 10000 physicists invade Portland, Oregon. I hope Powell's bookstore has stocked their science sections well! GQI, the topical group on quantum information, sponsors a good number of sessions at the meeting including sessions with invited talks, focus sessions…
The survey of abused words in quantum computing shows the word "exponential" as having an, um, exponential, lead over its competitors. My own personal choice for the most abused word was "scalable," a word that is, in my opinion, the least debated, but most important, concept in quantum computing…
Ah, someone else noticed that problem then too. Is it my imagination, or were you able to search by sponsoring group last year?
I refuse to comment anymore unless you give me $100.
I refuse to let you comment unless you give me $100.
You may not be aware of this, but the combined cost of reading the APL, Nature and PRA papers amounts to $66 for those without institutional access.
So Sam should ask the authors for the $100. Oh, wait, none of that money goes to them.
Actually, my reference was not to the cost for non-subscribers, but to the new site, quantalk.org, and $100 should be 100. :)
Quantalk.org...have to check it out.
I still don't get the 100 (inser currency here)? Remember I'm an Idiot American.
Oh, now I get it.
A pretty comprehensive list of the quantum info events at the March meeting, arranged by session, is available at http://qserver.usc.edu/confs/ .
