Just figured out how to do some pretty neat Bloch sphere's in Mathematica 6, using Sphere[], Graphics3D and ParametricPlot3D. They're interactive too.

The following code defines "bloch" which is a Graphics3D object that can be later used again, it's a bit more complicated than strickly necessary since I've added ket labels to the axes and other tweaks to make it look nice.

here is some math: $\gamma^\sqrt{\delta}$

\[|\alpha\rangle = e^{-|\alpha|^2/2}\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{\alpha^n}{\sqrt{n!}}|n\rangle\]

try double clicking the formulas :)

Danny's paper on Physical accessibility of non-completely positive maps has just been accepted to Phys. Rev. A

A very late congratulations to Peter Brooke who has had a single-author paper accepted to PRA on Decoherence-free quantum-information processing using dipole-coupled qubits.

Our paper on Loss-tolerant operations in parity-code linear optics quantum computing has been accepted to PRA.

Chris Facer has his first paper! Congratulations! To appear in PRA, for the moment on the arxiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/0706.3821.

We've had our paper on manipulating biphotonic qutrits accepted by PRL. Woohoo! Preprint available here: http://arxiv.org/abs/0707.2880.

We've posted a list of conferences in quantum information and quantum optics which we'll keep updated. This as available as ical, an atom feed, as a public calendar on google and also on the nifty time-line here on this site.

Dominic has had a paper accepted to PRA: http://arxiv.org/abs/0704.2066. Congratulations!
