Is it me or is it odd that it bottomed out at 0.0123456?

Those are the most cited from the Physical Review journals: http://bit.ly/jMN0SP Interesting because they have such high citation counts in part because they hit a nice spot releva…

Still alive and kicking. There are also a few other quantum cryptograph companies around including http://www.idquantique.com/ and http://www.quintessencelabs.com/

The worldwide community of quantum computing researchers is probably around a couple thousand. p.s. your namesake is one of them http://arxiv.org/find/quant-ph/1/au:+Cross_A/0/1/0/…

The D-wave machine is different from a general purpose quantum computer which is why it can have many more qubits than the more traditional approach that you are most like to have …

So to me it seems that the people building tools for collaborative science need to start with a system whose sole goal is to produce papers :) How to do this is a fun problem.

e^(τi)-1=0. This is obviously better since it not only contains the fundamental constants e, tau, and the beautiful numbers 0 and 1, it also includes a minus sign, emphasizing the …

The result, IIRC, is that all of QIP can be done in three rounds, whereas if the same held in the classical world the polynomial hierarchy would collapse (which is considered about…

No. It means that for the complexity class of interactive proofs quantum and classical are the same (when you ignore the number of rounds involved.) This doesn't tell us anything a…
