Dear group,
I won't be able to make it to group meeting today. I apologize. I have a
medical appointment exactly at that time. Some of you saw me yesterday, my
ears are fully plugged up since I landed yesterday! and if I did not see a
doctor today, the next appt would be Tuesday.
I suggest to go ahead with the meeting. You will hear from Sarah about
quantum simulation using gold and electrons in liquid helium: What is
interesting there is that the nanofab abilities of Ken Crozier could
potentially allow to build one of these simulators.
Ville is also giving another meeting that is also of a lot of interest to
the lab: He has been quietly hacking away at a powerful toolkit for quantum
information processing and simulation of open systems that is very versatile
and powerful. He is going to give a demo about it. I think many of the
people that are planning to do simulations might consider using/extending
this tool. I will probably ask Ville to give me a recap later.
If you need anything, I will be working from home today. Just e-mail me or
chat me.
PS. I might be able to run back for the second part. We'll see how the
doctor appointment at Boston goes :&
