Dear Quantum Scientists in the Boston Area:
You are invited to Quantum Beer, Summer Edition, where Quantum Scientists
from institutions all over the Boston Area socialize away from the
blackboards. Calculations on napkins are permitted.
Every Quantum Beer is at a different place. This time, we are going to
Redbones.
Quantum Beer
Wednesday June 16th at 8pm
Redbones BBQ <http://www.redbones.com/brews.html> (downstairs)
55 Chester Street Somerville, MA
02144<http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=redbones&mrt=al…>
Redbones has a beer roulette, and good southern-style BBQ. We will be *
downstairs*. Just ask for the "Quantum Something" group.
The Quantum Beer email list keeps growing. If you know people that would be
interested in getting the Quantum Beer announcements, send me their email.
Salud!

Dear All,
We have a special quantum information seminar on the next Tuesday at 4 pm.
Marco Bellini, who is visiting us next week, will give a talk on
"Manipulating the quantum nature of light by single-photon addition and
subtraction". Please see below for more information on this event.
Best,
Masoud
Title: “Manipulating the quantum nature of light by single-photon addition
and
subtraction“
Speaker: Marco Bellini (Istituto Nazionale di Ottica, INO-CNR, Firenze,
Italy)
Date of Event: Tuesday, October 05, 2010
Time: 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM
Room: 34-401A
Host: Seth Lloyd
Event Type: Seminar
Abstract:
I will illustrate some of the recent activities carried out in our
laboratory to investigate and control the quantum nature of light. The
experimental implementation of some of the most basic quantum
operations, like single-photon creation [1,2] and annihilation [3], has
allowed us to generate and manipulate light at the most accurate levels.
This, together with advanced techniques for the complete
characterization of the generated light states, has allowed us to probe
fundamental rules of quantum physics (like the commutation relations
[4-6]), and develop novel tools (like noiseless linear amplification
[7]) for quantum information processing and future quantum technologies.

To: Sysbio Members <SysbioMembers(a)lsdiv.harvard.edu>
Dear all,
a quick reminder that the new cell phone ban went into effect as of midnight
last night. The key points are:
1) No one under the age of 18 can use a cell phone in a vehicle at all
(calling, texting, etc.).
2) No one can text (sending or receiving/reading) while driving (you can
pull off the road), nor can you text when you're at a stop sign or stop
light.
3) No one can use a cell phone to check emails, navigate using a cell
phone's GPS (unless the phone is mounted), search the internet, etc.

Ecological studies are the bridge that link biodiversity and global change issues.
Please join us at this joint OEB Seminar / lecture in the Harvard University Center
for the Environment and Bank of America series on
Biodiversity, Ecology, and Global Change
"How to Conserve a Large Tropical Wildland through Biodiversity Development: the Costa
Rican Example"
Daniel H. Janzen, Ph. D., Thomas G. and Louise E. DiMaura Professor of
Conservation Biology, University of Pennsylvania
TODAY
5:00 pm
Biolabs Lecture Hall
Harvard University
16 Divinity Ave
Cambridge, MA
Tropical conservation is deeply embedded in the protocol called "buy it or
decree it, attempt to protect it with park guards, and engage in a wide variety
of confrontations with a ravenous society". Some element of this protocol is a
reasonable ingredient in the beginning of conservation for any particular place,
but if that is all that happens, the unpleasant truth is that we are not talking
perpetuity. The bad guys always win. One night stands, no matter how emotionally
pretty, are just that. Somehow, the conserved wildland has to move into complex
satisfaction of multiple agendas across multiple social sectors -- the diverse
portfolio approach to risk management and being dependent on variable markets.
The bank guard is not what makes a bank successful. This tailor-made biodiversity
development of a specific conserved wildland can and must be multifaceted as are
universities, health systems, communication systems, and other things we all want
to last indefinitely. It will be expensive and the expense must be balanced by
generation of goods and services. Parasitic systems do not survive. Costa Rica's
Area de Conservacion Guanacaste has survived 25 years of evolving into this protocol
for its own survival, and is meant to be a transparent example.
Dr. Daniel H. Janzen (PhD) is the Thomas G. and Louise E. DiMaura Professor of
Conservation Biology at the University of Pennsylvania. A member of the US National
Academy of Sciences, he has received the MacArthur Fellowship, the Crafoord Prize,
and the Kyoto Prize for his work in tropical biology and conservation. Janzen and
his wife Dr. Winnie Hallwachs were instrumental in restoring the Area de Conservacion
Guanacaste, and have been working for the last 25 years to expand and endow it in
perpetuity. Read more about Janzen's work and ACG in this recent New York Times article.
The Biodiversity, Ecology, and Global Change lecture series is sponsored by the Harvard University Center for the Environment with generous support from Bank of America. The lecture will be followed by a reception.

Hello all,
Dropbox - get 500MB per referral rather than 250MB with .edu email address.
Go to www.dropbox.com/edu, log in, verify your .edu email address, and
all of your referral credits from this point on will net you 500MB.
At least in my case, it traces back my previous referrals.
Regards,
Man Hong
