    interesting workshop on language here in Leiden ... Luis, Giusi??
  • Luís F. Simões on 31 May 12
     
    interesting indeed, but the lectures I'd be interested in already took place

    No good, 80% of these people are top quoted in my research area... I really should have been there. Evidently the organisers need to work on advertising.

    Damn... At Leiden University I worked on transmission of light through Ag nano-layers. This could have been an easy experiment. I wonder about the evanescence of the wave as visible light is usually attenuated to <5% within 250nm of silver.

    New 3D printed macro structure exhibits selective buckling open the way for custom shape-memory materials found our neighbor scientists from the Lorentz Institut of the Leiden University. Wonder if it can be applied for self-assembled deployment of structures.

    Physicists have found a radical new way to confine electromagnetic energy without it leaking away, akin to throwing a pebble into a pond with no splash. The theory could have broad ranging applications from explaining dark matter to combating energy losses in future technologies.

    I think (but am not sure) that is related to a topic that Dirk Bouwmeester's group at Leiden University works on for a while now: "Linked and knotted beams of light" http://irvinelab.uchicago.edu/papers/nphys1056.pdf

  • The picture was made with the Canon 5D mark II and a 400mm-lens. It consists of 1.665 full format pictures with 21.4 megapixel, which was recorded by a photo-robot in 172 minutes.

    "With a resolution of 297.500 x 87.500 pixel (26 gigapixel) the picture is the largest in the world. (stand December 2009)" Daring statement... I'm not quite sure, but I'd quess microscopic images used in medicine can easily reach terapixels... What a waste of pixels anyway... they weren't able to find a bit more interesing city?

    IBM for the first time ever is making quantum computing available to the public, providing access to a quantum processor via the cloud. Users can create algorithms and run experiments and get inspired by the possibilities of a quantum computer.

    Looks interesting.. Have you tried it?
  • jcunha on 07 Oct 16
     
    Mathias Troyer from ETH Zurtich gave a talk in Leiden where he showed what he wants to be the replacement to this IBM programming or the best ally of it - program quantum computers with, for instance, python code. Nice developments coming from the quantum coding field, besides the fact we are ages away from a practical quantum computer.
