News

07/12/2008: Our paper on Quantum computing using shortcuts through higher dimensions appeared today in Nature Physics.
06/12/2008: Oh this is lovely. Look at the article listed immediately before ours on PhysOrg—can you believe we ranked more highly? Who knew we were more interesting than promiscuous Arts students?
05/12/2008: Today's PhysOrg has a nice article on our recent mixed-state quantum computing experiment: Quantum computing: Entanglement may not be necessary. Love the opening line: "It is a truth universally acknowledged that quantum computing must have entanglement."
13/11/2008: What a busy day! Our paper on Experimental Quantum Computing without Entanglement appeared today in Physical Review Letters.
13/11/2008: Our workshop on Integrated Quantum Photonics begins today at Couran Cove. Should be fun!
09/11/2008: Prof. Aephraim Steinberg, from the University of Toronto, has started a three month visit. Welcome Aephraim!
07/11/2008: Andrew has been made a Fellow of the Optical Society of America. Goodness!
30/09/2008: Again, that just flew past! After another great visit, Dr Thomas Jennewein is returning to the University of Vienna—come back soon Thomas!
01/09/2008: Alessandro Fedrizzi has joined the QT Lab from the University of Vienna. Welcome Alessandro!
14/08/2008: Dr Dr Thomas Jennewein from University of Vienna, begins the second of two three- month visits with the QT Lab. Welcome back Thomas!
30/07/2008: After a most enjoyable 6 months with us, Dr Michael Goggin is returning to Truman State University—come back soon Mike!
29/06/2008: Quantum Information and Control in Queensland begins today in Palm Cove. Good physics, good folk and hopefully good weather!
24/06/2008: There is a write-up of our shrimp paper in Optics and Photonics Focus, Super-Vision for Mr. Shrimp.
20/06/2008: Andrew's profile is being featured on the front page of Nature Asia this week.
24/05/2008: There is a simply wonderful write-up of our shrimp paper by Andrew's favourite blogger, PZ Myers of Pharyngula fame, The superior eyes of shrimp. (And yes, he was Andrew's favourite blogger even before he wrote about our paper!)
23/05/2008: The New York Times reported on our shrimp paper! See A different viewpoint in the Science Section.
20/05/2008: Jeepers creepers! Scientific American reports again on the shrimp paper, Mantis Shrimp Has Built-In Shades.
19/05/2008: Well we're tickled pink that our shrimp paper has been reported in the National Geographic, or at least their website! See, "Weird Beastie" Shrimp Have Super-Vision.
19/05/2008: Well that was fun! Andrew was just interviewed about the shrimp by Red Symons for ABC Melbourne's morning radio show. Best, and most unexpected, question: "What would you do if you had genital-fingers?..." :)
17/05/2008: Sonja's got a great interview with Bob McDonald on the Canadian radio show, Quirks and Quarks, Mantis Shrimp's Super Sight, have a listen!
15/05/2008: ...And now there's a Softpedia article on our shrimp vision paper, Shrimp See All Types of Polarized Light. It's nicely written, but gets the same quote wrong as the Physics World article ... hmm!
15/05/2008: Gosh, a lot of people are interested in shrimp. There's an article in today's Science Daily, Weird Shrimp Has Astounding Vision, a lovely and comprehensive article in today's Physics World and Optics.org (although they do get one quote wrong!), Shrimp see a polarized world, and even a report in MSNBC, Giant shrimp can see beyond the rainbow.
14/05/2008: There's an article on our shrimp paper in the Nature blog The Great Beyond, Shrimp's super sight (also see the Scintilla link); at The Press Association, Shrimp with super-vision revealed; at UnderwaterTimes.com, Scientists: Mantis Shrimps See Beyond The Rainbow; 'A Completely New Concept Of Polarization Vision'; at Scientific Frontline, Scientists find weird shrimp has astounding vision; and even at The Today Show, Giant shrimp can see beyond the rainbow.
14/05/2008: Well that's nice! Our paper on optimal polarisation vision in shrimp is the number one pick in the blog by the PLoS ONE online manager, A blog around the clock.
14/05/2008: Our paper on The Secret World of Shrimps: Polarisation Vision at Its Best appeared today in PLoS ONE. Weird little beasties they are!
13/05/2008: There's a nice article in the Discover magazine blog on our shrimp paper, Freaky Shrimp Species Has Singular Sight, and in Reuters, Shrimp can see beyond the rainbow, which has also been picked up by Scientific American.
24/04/2008: We seem to be tickling Dave Bacon's title bone, he once again quite likes the title of one of our recent arxiv papers, this time The secret world of shrimps: polarisation vision at its best. (He also thinks it's fascinating, which again is nice!)
23/04/2008: Today's Nature Photonics features our qutrit-qubit experiment in a very nice Research Highlight, Higher-level control, doi:10.1038/nphoton.2008.39.
04/04/2008: Today's Physics Arxiv Blog has a nice discussion of our higher dimension quantum computing paper: Qutrit breakthrough brings quantum computers closer.
03/04/2008: Dave Bacon (aka the Quantum Pontiff) quite likes the title of our recent arxiv paper Quantum computing using shortcuts through higher dimensions. (He also likes the paper as well, which is nice!)
26/02/2008: Today's PhysOrg has a nice article on our qubit-qutrit experiment: Physicists Demonstrate Qubit-Qutrit Entanglement.
14/02/2008: Our paper on Manipulating Biphotonic Qutrits appeared today in Physical Review Letters: who said scientists aren't romantic?
03/01/2008: Dr Michael Goggin from Truman State University, has started a six-month sabbatical with the QT Lab, hot on the heels from one with Prof. Paul Kwiat at Illinois. Welcome Mike!
