Stephen Jordan (Caltech), a friend and collaborator, gave a group meeting to our group about his recent model of quantum computation using Fermions. The model uses a tree-representation to describe Fermionic Young’s diagrams. The details are left to his upcoming papers on quant-ph/.  This model is quite appealing as we quantum chemists think about Fermion [...]

At the Sanibel conference, inspired  by the great quantum chemists, I used a 1981 song from Kraftwerk, their Youtube video, and the Kino Linux software package to create the following “Ode to quantum chemistry”. I have to think about the “Ode to quantum computing”. It will hopefully follow. On other updates, the lab, the research, [...]

I just found that my blog can have polls. To “reactivate it” a bit, I add one vis a vis the elections:
Also, stay tuned, we will post pictures of the Tacos al Pastor trompo assembly experiment that starts this Sunday.

I have always liked the energy of Emir Kusturica. I have always liked the Energy of Manu Chao. I have always liked the energy of Maradona. When they get together to make a movie. . .

And create a song. . .

Or an earlier one. . .
