Singularity Summit 2009: The Faces of Singularity – Pop Sci article October 2009
I am number 6 of 7 in the line-up of photos. It’s an absolutely terrible photo, but I wasn’t feeling 100% that day, and I got the camera shoved *right* in my face!
I don’t know if it’s actually [...]

Many people have blogged about the SS2009 talks much better than I could, so instead I’ll talk about the atmosphere I experienced over the last two days here in New York.
Everyone seemed to be very excited about being here. I’ve never felt such a buzz before from attending a conference. In addition, everyone seemed interested [...]

I started today with a stroll through Central Park and a coffee on Madison Avenue. Things just got better from there on really…
The Singularity Summit 2009 opened in the small but perfectly formed Kaufman Concert Hall, 92nd Street, New York, NY. I say it was small because fitting 800+ Singularitarians in there was a bit [...]

CSQ2010

Via The Quantum Pontiff:
What an AWESOME idea for a conference!
Coherence in Superconducting Qubits 2010

…I shouldn’t get so excited about these things, but, but… just look at the topic list!
This conference will foster discussion and collaboration among investigators stimulating:
* A fuller, more accurate understanding of the types of defects limiting coherence in superconducting [...]

CMMP 2009

It’s that time again! The UK’s hottest low temperature conference…Condensed Matter and Materials Physics 2009. Venue: Warwick University.

Why not join me for some unmissable Physics action – just click on the link above to sign up. I’ll hopefully by then have some form of poster with results from measurements on Ferromagnetic Josephson Junctions. By [...]

Everything’s been so busy this past week, I’ve got a whole load of links and they’re all completely disorganised, but here are a few just so I a get them off the backlog pile:
A really interesting company I learnt about recently:
Evolved Machines
Upcoming Events
World Future Society conference 8-10 July 2010, Massachusetts
World Future 2010
SENS4 Conference in Cambridge, [...]

I’ve been spending the last few days hanging around at Singularity University hosted at NASA Ames in Mountain View, CA (SIlicon Valley).

What an experience. The people here are great, real leaders and entrepreneurs. It’s been inspiring to talk to everyone. The format of the course is several weeks of lectures and presentations by distinguished speakers, [...]

If you are passionate about fine wine, cheese, and superconducting digital electronics, you may wish to attend the EUROFLUX 2009 conference taking place in beautiful Avignon in the South of France.

Although Euroflux is based on a European framework, the conference is international, and people are welcome to attend. You can read my review of [...]

At the moment I’m attending an S-Pulse superconducting electronics (SCE) workshop at the University of Savoie in Chambery, France.

So far we’ve had talks about single photon detectors, hot electron bolometers, junction measurements, ballistic readout of qubits, Terahertz imaging, modelling inductances and superconducting circuits, cryocooling and cryopackaging, and plenty of RSFQ related information.
Yesterday morning we had [...]
