Dear all,
just a quick reminder about the operation of this newsletter:
– it is put together by Alejandro Bermudez for the publication list, and Martina Knoop for the rest.
– we have an excellent and voluntary admin support by the ETH Zürich group in the person of Mirjam Bruttin.
– many of you appreciate the publication list which is done by screening keywords in several journals. If you want to make sure that your article figures in the list, please send it to the email indicated below, as it can happen that we miss something
– in principle the newsletter is sent in the last days of a month (depending on our respective agendas)
Make sure that you send all information (events job offers, articles etc) around the 25 of a month if you want it to be included in the following edition .
Best regards,
Your editorial team
News
The Micius Quantum Prizes 2018 are awarded to the field of quantum computation. The laureates are Juan Ignacio Cirac, David Deutsch, Peter Shor, and Peter Zoller, for their seminal theoretical work on quantum algorithms and physical architectures of quantum computers and simulators, and Rainer Blatt and David Wineland for their pioneering experiments that demonstrated fundamental elements of quantum computing with trapped ions. LINK Congratulations !
