quantum computing conference electron spin matrix product state zamboni effect

Sorry to those who talked in the afternoon yesterday: I ran off to listen to Michael Nielsen talk at the Santa Fe Institute. Charles Marcus, "Holding quantum information in electron spins" Charlie gave a talk about the state of quantum computing in solid state quantum dot systems. Things Charlie talked about: T1 times of single electron spins of 1 second from Mark Kastner's group:arXiv:0707.1656. Those are long, and it would be awesome to have those for real working devices! Delft's work on single electron spin manipulations: "Driven coherent oscillations of a single electron spin in a…
