  • Oct 2007: Arrive in Oxford to begin my studies for a PhD --- I am very fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Samson Abramsky (see also wikipedia entry) and Prof. Bob Coecke. I already miss my friends in Cambridge MA and look forward to our continued collaboration.
  • July: James Whitfield presented a poster of the research Masoud, Alán and myself have worked on this summer. The poster was presented at UNAM (interesting fact: UNAM was founded in 1551).
  • Past event: The Lorentz Center will host a workshop called, "Computational Complexity of Quantum Hamiltonian Systems," from 23 Jul 2007 through 27 Jul 2007 (aim of the workshop)---Peter J. Love will present work on Realizable Hamiltonians for Universal AQCs.
  • 11 April 2007, Dr. Geordie Rose (CEO and founder of D-Wave Systems Inc.) announces the paper, "Realizable Hamiltonians for Universal Adiabatic Quantum Computers" on his blog.
