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 isEric Lucero, UCSB
for his paper J17.1, "High fidelity gates in Josephson phase qubits".
For the best theoretical paper, the winner is
Lev Bishop, Yale University
for his paper V17.9, "Towards proving non-classicality with a 3-qubit GHZ state in circuit QED".
Congratulations to the future Doctors Lucero and Bishop!

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/…
I've never live blogged before (well I've been alive while I've blogged, but that is different, I guess), but maybe it will make me pay more attention to the talks, so here goes nothing. Oh, and happy Hallmark(TM) Valentines day! I'll be updating these posts as the conference goes along.

By synchronicity, as you were appreciating Lev Bishop on "Towards proving non-classicality with a 3-qubit GHZ state in circuit QED" I was just involved in discussion relating GHZ and Borromean Entanglement. It would be cool if these threads were connected:

GHZ = Borromean Entanglement; Re: The Borromean Link Configuration
In quantum information theory, a GHZ Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state is a certain type of entangled quantum state which involves at least three subsystems (particles), no two of which are entangled with each other. It was first studied by D. Greenberger, M.A. Horne and Anton Zeilinger in 1989; who subsequently (together with A. Shimony, upon a suggestion by N. D. Mermin) applied their arguments to certain measurements involving three observers. They have noticed the extremely non-classical properties of the state.
