  1. At the APS March meeting. The program is as thick as a phone book even without abstracts. Anyone else here?
  2. I had a go at writing up an introduction to our recent blind quantum computing result for non-QIP people: blog.jfitzsimons.org/?p=224
  3. @roryparle It seems straight forward to implement a brainf**k interpretter in Javascript.
  4. @qudit Yep! Conveniently, my dad arrives over for a visit this evening.
  5. @qudit Our last paper before Chinese new year!
  6. @una008 You need more clothes! The only way to truly break the loop is to by clothes faster than you can wear them.
  7. @sarvagya82 I discovered I could answer it fairly trivially myself about an hour after posting it, so deleted the question.
  8. @roryparle D'Oh. It turns out I could answer it myself. theoreticalphysics.stackexchange.com/a/778/93
  9. @roryparle And you thought that theoretical physics degree was useless!
  10. Can anyone answer this? If so, an answer would really help me out. TP.SE: Separability criteria for quantum states theoreticalphysics.stackexchange.com/q/777/93
  11. @orzelc You need to drag the top of the window to the middle of the side, which is a little weird.
  12. @orzelc Doesn't it tile them to half the screen if you bring it to one side?That's what happens for me, and its great for side by side edits
  13. @mattleifer I was also considering having the tag browser search both sites and put results from the current tab first.
  14. @mattleifer I can concatenate them (like I do with the search results) or display them in two columns on the one page. Would that do?
  15. @mattleifer Me too, but the library I'm using doesn't give me enough control to merge them sorted by date, and rewriting it seems slow.
  16. After a night of coding I managed to cobble together a single interface for quantum questions on cstheory.se and tp.se superposed.jfitzsimons.org
  17. @sc_k Yeah, I do too. It can't be much fun.
  18. @sc_k Argh. That's annoying. Nuts are everywhere.
  19. @sc_k Bad allergies?
  20. @michael_nielsen Thanks for the exposure!
