Joint Atomic Physics Seminar 
Jefferson Laboratory, Room 356
``Quantum Analog Computers''
DR. SETH LLOYD
Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Abstract:
Simple, well-understood quantum systems can be used to simulate
the behavior of complex, poorly-understood quantum systems.  
This talk provides a theoretical framework for such quantum
analog computation and shows how current technology could be used
to build and operate quantum analog computers.

Tea will be served at 4:30 p.m.

Special Message to the BAPC Subscribers 
from Ken Olum:   


I've written some code for rmail in emacs-19 that highlights the
titles in the BAPC email messages to make them easier to read.  You
can get it by anonymous ftp to ctp.mit.edu in the file /pub/kdo/bacp-email.el.
If you use this package, feel free to send me mail and I'll tell you
if I make changes to the code (e.g. if the BAPC format changes)
                        -- Ken Olum, kdo@mit.edu 


        Happy New Year To All!
