Uncertainties.... this sep 19 news tells us- be satisfied with the ATPM phase for now... hey, how many of that have we seen ?! http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=1054040 And then, hopes back again, with this Oct 3 noose http://www.hindu.com/2006/10/04/stories/2006100411560100.htm Amidst accusations from, Oh well, the communists http://pd.cpim.org/2006/1022/10222006_ap.htm Me still have those fingers crossed....... and by the way, I heard a news (guess??) that AMD at present is busy figuring out if it wants to start a fab facility in NY (state) or not... and so isn't pushing as much for its India project... -------------------------------------------------- Meantime, if this is to be believed, good news on the "Universities catching up" front (hot news, just came out a few hrs before this posting) http://www.financialexpress.com/fe_full_story.php?content_id=144210 Europe’s largest independent research centre in nanotechnology and nanoelectronics is bullish on joint ...

UFO applied in QC .... and no UFO is not "unidentifiable....." I mean ultrafastoptics http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/313/5785/341 The fast dephasing of electron spins in an ensemble of quantum dots is detrimental for applications in quantum information processing. We show here that dephasing can be overcome by using a periodic train of light pulses to synchronize the phases of the precessing spins, and we demonstrate this effect in an ensemble of singly charged (In,Ga)As/GaAs quantum dots. This mode locking leads to constructive interference of contributions to Faraday rotation and presents potential applications based on robust quantum coherence within an ensemble of dots.
