A more-relevant-than-it-appears-at-first plug:

For the non-physicists in the group, the American Physical Society’s March Meeting is a big deal, or so I’m told. I’m going for the first time this year.

I’ll be giving a talk:

RuleSet-based Operation of the Quantum Internet*
The challenges in building a Quantum Internet extend far beyond having a physical layer that can create entanglement across a distance. Quantum Internet nodes must share management of distributed tomography, errors, entanglement swapping, multiplexing of resources, selection of routes, and more to support application-requested actions for distributed cryptographic functions, quantum sensor networks, and distributed quantum computation. RuleSet-based operation allows for single-point but any-location decisions on policy for a connection and distributed, real-time selection of actions consistent with those policies. Only such an architecture will provide the full flexibility needed to support inter-technology, inter-organizational communications on a long-lived, multi-generational Quantum Internet.

(Hey, reading that, it’s not too bad! I wrote it sitting at a picnic table on the observation deck at Haneda Airport, listening to planes in the dark, as I was headed somewhere and the deadline was approaching.)

Talks at MM are *short*. I’ll be sticking in a plug for QIRG, so we might get some additional physicists joing us here.  I’ll also have an announcement that I’ll post here around the same time.
