Congratulations, Ryan!

My ex-boyfriend, who I am so proud of, has officially been published!!! Here is a sample of the article, I can't gain access to the whole thing because I'm not a member of www.iop.org where it's posted. Don't feel bad if you don't get it, I don't even know what half of the words themselves mean! Here goes:

Abstract. Electron spins in semiconductor quantum dots are promising candidates for the experimental realization of solid-state qubits. We analyse the dynamics of a system of three qubits arranged in a linear geometry and a system of four qubits arranged in a square geometry. Calculations are performed for several quantum dot confining potentials. In the three-qubit case, three-body effects are identified that have an important quantitative influence upon quantum computation. In the four-qubit case, the full Hamiltonian is found to include both three-body and four-body interactions that significantly influence the dynamics in physically relevant parameter regimes. We consider the implications of these results for the encoded universality paradigm applied to the four-electron qubit code; in particular, we consider what is required to circumvent the four-body effects in an encoded system (four spins per encoded qubit) by the appropriate tuning of experimental parameters.

Congratulations Ryan!! I miss you, and I'll tell Mr.M, he'll be proud(and baffled) too!!
