I suspect this may be redundant information as my readership is probably entirely contained in the superset of D-Wave’s blog readership, but… For anyone who didn’t see it, there is a series of new posts over at Geordie’s blog about D-Wave’s technology, aims, results, fabrication and mostly anything else you could wish to know about [...]

Some nice D-Wave info

It’s just too cool to be a scientist these days.

Via Pharyngula:
I was thinking after the LHC rap that a QC rap video would be cool to do, but I don’t think anything I could do could possibly match the standards set by the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO):
I also now want a giant gold medallion with [...]

So to get me out of the futurist frame of mind and back into the Quantum Physics frame of mind, here are some things to read today:
An introduction to measurement based quantum computing:
Measurement-based quantum computation
Preprint of the latest offering from Martinis’ group showing tomography of two entangled gates after performing various operations:
Quantum Process Tomography of [...]
Violation of Bell’s inequality in Josephson phase qubits

Very cool…another step towards demonstrating that Josephson phase/flux systems can be treated as macroscopic coherent quantum objects.
Violation of Bell’s inequality in Josephson phase qubits
I was wondering if you could demonstrate this the other day!
From Science Daily:
The measurement of a Bell violation in a superconducting circuit was recently stated to be the next primary challenge for [...]

I won’t be neglecting the blog, but twitter seems more useful for posting links as you find them. It stops them from clogging up my bookmarks folder!

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

As much as I admire some of the traditonal values of Oxbridge/Ivy league style University education, I can’t help but love the idea of this new movement…
Via Academic Earth:
Who needs Harvard? How Web-Savvy Edupunks Are Transforming American Higher Education
Who’d have thought education and anarchy would join forces?

Virtual Scientific Collaboration

(Via PhysOrg) This is totally cool. We should set one of these up for QIP/QC Scientists around the world:
Virtual Worlds May Be the Future Setting of Scientific Collaboration

Could be quite cool if combined with something like Google Wave so you could have avatars inside a virtual meeting room as a front-end for the [...]
