So, as I have found out through my exhaustive search for a solid grad program, it is hard to find a close-knit group of quantum-computation-ers. After tossing a coin 3 times, I found the best place to look for anyone interested in the field is in this group rather than Computers or Engineering...

Thank you, Q, for the lit. material... saved me a few moments of searching for the page :smile: I agree that there is much, much, much work to be done, however something inside me says it won't be too long in the future when we see some breakthrough ideas. Keep on dreamin!

A few months ago I read a book called The Self-Aware Universe by Amit Goswami. Somewhere in the first several chapters Amit introduces an experiment by.. well I'll have to dig out the book for the fine details... anyways, an experiment was done using Faraday cages and "direct connections"...

Wow, it has been quite a while since my fingertips left a thread here on PF. Nearly four or five years ago, there was a gentleman who posted quite regularly who went by the call sign Lifegazer. His basic MO was that the universe was a giant mind -- a collection of all the minds of the universe...

I'm an idiot.. ha.. I love it when it's staring you right in the face like that haha.. thanks wonk.

I can't recall all the details of an automorphism.. does it preserve order?

Yes, they are.. I've worked up to getting a homomorphism where: there is a g in G such that g*(H1 int H2)g^(-1) = H2 int H3, g*(H1 int H3)g^(-1) = H1 int H2, and g*(H2 int H3)g^(-1) = H1 int H3...

Hello all.. It's been quite some time since I've been here, so I doubt any of you remember me. Anyhow, I'll get to my discussion.. I'm graduating in May with my BS in Math/Physics. I'm currently doing independent studies in Coding Theory as well as some higher abstract algebra. I've...

Thank you very much!

Got me some energy e-states Psi(x,t) = blah blah.. I am asked to normalize, blh blah blah.. got that. Then I'm asked to sketch mod(Psi1).. what the heck is mod? I know what mod is in regards to number theory, but obviously this is a different term. Can't find it for the life of me on any sites...

maybe something with the "cname"? I (quickly) copied and pasted and executed in emacs and mine came up with an error about cname.. I'd mess with it more but I have some sleep to catch up on.

ok.. how bout this.. Given a specific n (even or odd), what is the probability that a randomly generated n x n matrix will be non-singular? I understand there are infinite amounts of each, however I think there still should be some sort of ratio, such as in the question of "Given two...

I'm not sure if this has been thought of, posted, or ran over before, but it's something I'm curious about.. Simply put, what is the ratio of singular to non-singular matrices? I've been thinking that it would probably be easier to start with a specific size, then work out from that. So...

Ha.. Just after i posted I went and grabbed some water, and while looking at the glass I thought to myself how spotless it was, then it was like a tidal wave of memory from the movie splashed into my mind and I remembered the title and the entire movie.. Thank you, however, for your post. I...

I just saw that once I posted this thread, the thread beneath it was "Memorization Tactics"... hmm
