New Paper Dance

Austin G. Fowler, David S. Wang, Thaddeus D. Ladd, Rodney Van Meter, and Lloyd C. Hollenberg,
Surface code quantum communication, arXiv:0910.4074 [quant-ph], accepted to Phys. Rev. Letters!  Congrats to Austin and the rest of the team.  We are gradually illuminating some of the possible corners in the space of quantum repeater system design.

The New GIGA Program at SFC

The web site for Keio's new undergraduate program, Global Information and Communication Technology and Governance Academic Program (GIGA), is now up and running.

Starting in fall 2011, we'll be accepting freshmen into GIGA to study networking, novel computing systems, international relations, and all of the other fun things we do (including computer architecture and quantum computing, two of the things I teach), with the language of instruction to be English.

Associate Professor

First day of work as Associate Professor Rodney Van Meter.  No foolin'!
