Varmalov makes 23 saves in Avs' shutout of Predators
DENVER (AP) -- Semyon Varlamov made 23 saves for his fourth shutout of the season, and the Colorado Avalanche beat the Nashville Predators 3-0 on Friday night.
Jarome Iginla, Maxime Talbot, and Gabriel Landeskog had goals for the Avalanche, who earned an important win in their pursuit of a playoff berth.
Colorado is trying to stay in the thick of the race after a slow start to the season. The Avalanche are two points behind Calgary for the second wild-card position in the Western Conference but they have played one more game than the Flames.
Colorado improved to 8-3-3 in its last 14 games and has moved into fifth place in the Central Division. The Avalanche earned three of a possible four points against the division-leading Predators.
Nashville's Marek Mazanec made 25 saves in his first start of the season.
The Avalanche didn't capitalize on an early power play but scored 26 seconds after Nashville returned to full strength.
O'Reilly put a shot on goal from the half boards, and Nathan MacKinnon tried to stuff it past Mazanec. The puck leaked through to the front of the crease where Talbot flipped it into the open net at 13:49 of the first.
It was Talbot's fourth goal of the season.
Nashville had two good scoring chances in the second period. Gabriel Bourque had a breakaway, but the puck slipped off his stick before he could get off a shot.
Later in the period, rookie Filip Forsberg went in alone on Varlamov, but the goalie made the save to keep Colorado in the lead.
Iginla scored an insurance goal at 5:54 of the third.
Colorado again couldn't convert on a power play, but just 6 seconds after it expired, Matt Duchene fed Iginla from behind the net. His one-timer beat Mazanec.
The Predators pulled Mazanec for an extra skater with 2:15 left, and Landeskog scored a minute later to seal the victory.
NOTES: MacKinnon had two assists. ... Iginla's goal was the 1,200th point of his career. ... Predators C Mike Ribero was ejected at 6:33 of the third. ... The Avalanche recalled D Stefan Elliott after D Erik Johnson had right knee surgery that will sideline him for 3-to-8 weeks. ... Nashville G Pekka Rinne is expected to miss up to three weeks because of a sprained knee.

Samsung PN59D8000 3D Plasma HDTV Page 2
2D Performance
The PN59D8000 sailed through all of our standard high-definition video processing tests (see the Video Test Bench). It also passed 480i-to-1080p deinterlacing tests.
The Samsung's 2D color and resolution were hard to fault. Before calibration, the image in the warm2 color tone (color temperature) setting was a little too red, although not so much as to look obviously off to the average viewer. The colors were convincing and never looked wrong. A good calibration produced a near-ideal result (see HT Labs Measures). Fleshtones were spot on. Greens looked believable. Reds were as vivid as they needed to be, but no more. I had no complaints.
Same for the set's resolution. Details were solidly reproduced, but not over-enhanced. A little noise was visible in large areas of solid color when viewed from very close to the screen, but that's common in plasmas. It wasn't an issue from a normal viewing distance.
The screen was as reflective as most of today's HDTVs. When the set is off in a well-lit room, you will see reflections. Avoid placing the Samsung where room lights and/or windows are likely to reflect directly off the screen. The set's rotating stand and (like all plasmas) superb offaxis performance will both help with this.
Interestingly, the screen would drop to total black on a fadeout, much like a local-dimming LED/LCD set and not always at predictable times. But let even the smallest bright area, such as the pause bug from a Blu-ray player, intrude into that total blackness, and the entire screen increases to what I consider to be its true, usable level—a level that's good but not exceptional (see HT Labs Measures). While the set's black levels and shadow detail were never jaw dropping, they weren't disappointing, either. Black letterbox bars on 2.35:1 films were barely visible and well below annoyance level. 2D images rarely looked grayish, muddled, or crushed—as they sometimes do on LCD sets.
3D Viewing
With one exception, the Samsung's 3D performance was impeccable. That exception, no surprise, was image brightness. Brightness is an issue on most 3D sets but particularly on plasmas, which are inherently dimmer than LCD designs. There's a limit to how hard you can push a plasma's peak output before problems arise.
But as with most 3D sets I've tested, the eyes adjust remarkably well to a dim picture. When you put on the 3D glasses, your first thought is that this just won't do. But soon, following both the adjustment of your eyes' pupils and simple acclimatization to the new brightness level, it's often easy to forget that the picture is a fraction of the brightness of a 2D picture. It helps to keep the room lights as dim as possible, and not go back and forth between 2D and 3D in the same sitting. Thankfully, most of the 3D releases we have are bright and cheery animated fare, such as Tangled, which looked terrific on the Samsung.
I stuck with the Movie mode for 3D, with some minor adjustments in the standard video controls. The dynamic mode was the only other mode that offered a possibly useful increase in brightness. But that mode involved other tradeoffs, including a less than full complement of video controls.
Samsung uses the same low-gamma trick here that we observed in the newest Panasonic plasmas. A low gamma pumps up the image in the mid-brightness region but can also make it difficult to get consistent video quality from scene to scene as the average brightness level varies. Fortunately, the latter problem was relatively rare here. Bright scenes, such as those in Tangled, looked good. The night scenes in Avatar, particularly early on in the forest as Jake's avatar battles viper wolves, and later as he moves through the luminous foliage, were certainly dark but exceptionally realistic, with good shadow detail.
The Samsung's 3D image was also sharp and completely free of visible ghosting. The 3D effects were maintained even well off axis. When I moved my head at any conceivable angle, I didn't notice either ghosting or image dimming. Before calibration, the 3D color didn't measure particularly well, but it looked acceptable. It was much improved after calibration, although only the two-point white balance controls are accessible in 3D. The color space custom mode controls can't be adjusted separately for both 2D and 3D. The 2D custom settings for 3D didn't work well, so for 3D, I set color space to its auto setting, which did.
I compared the Samsung directly to the Panasonic Viera TCP55VT30 I reviewed in the September issue. Because the sets use different glasses, I had to limit my 3D comparison to a check of subjective brightness, where the result was largely a toss-up. Both sets were significantly dimmer in 3D than LCD designs such as the Sony XBR-55HX929 (Home Theater, November 2011).
With both the Panasonic and the Samsung adjusted to look as identical as possible while still maintaining a proper setup, the differences between them were surprisingly subtle. The Panasonic's black level was lower, but this was as visibly marginal as the measured results might suggest (0.006 ft-L on the Panasonic, 0.009 ft-L on the Samsung). Nevertheless, I could see a difference in the Panasonic's favor on the most difficult material.
The Samsung's color was a bit warmer, but adjustments to the Panasonic's tint control almost balanced that out. In particular, naturally photographed fleshtones looked convincing on both sets, though not absolutely identical.
After calibration, the differences in the two sets boiled down to very slightly better blacks on the Panasonic. That's about it. Beyond that, you can decide between these sets based on price, features, and the availability of the screen size you prefer.
Apart from a somewhat dim 3D image (an issue shared by other plasma models we've tested), this Samsung is a superb HDTV. It has one of the best feature sets on the market, particularly the flexibility of its color calibration. Its Internet features (if that's your thing) are among the best out there. It won't disappoint. Highly recommended.

2014 New York Library Annual Conference
Rob and I were so pleased to present, yet once again, for the Leadership and Management Section (LAMS) at the 2014 NYLA Annual Conference. We hope everyone took away at least one tip from our presentation titled, "Your Future, Your Library" or, lovingly referred to over the years as, "21 Ideas for 21st Century Libraries." Don't hesitate to let us know if you have questions or need anything to help you along as you strive for library greatness.
Flip-through Picture Book Shelving
Palmieri board book browser bins used in the Sachem Public Library's (NY) Children's Room renovation. |
Note that several of these products have been used in Kimberly Bolan and Associates projects, so let me know if you have any further questions as you conduct your research and evaluation your options.
Updated, Interactive Children's Library in Plainfield, IN
Kimberly Bolan and Associates, in collaboration with Lehner Designs, recently planned and redesigned the 8,100 SF children's room of the Plainfield-Guilford Township Library in Plainfield, IN.
Entrance into the Renovated Children's Room |
The overall goal was to create an updated, interactive, 21st century environment with broad appeal to children ages 0 through 12 as well as parents and caregivers. The new space is "zoned" into various areas including an early literacy/toddler area, a social space for young school-aged children and pre-teens, a study area, and a creative center called the Imagination Hub and Art Zone.
This budget-friendly redesign included minimal construction, the re-use of the library's existing steel shelving, the re-purposing of its large 1987 service desk, which now serves as part of the Imagination Hub, and the inclusion of interactive, hands-on activities, for all ages, throughout the room.
This is the second space redesign project KBA has done with Plainfield-Guilford Library. Visit my Flickr site for photos of the children's space and more.
More on Collaboration Spaces

As we promised, here's a copy of our presentation as well as a copy of the "Digital Creation Space" planning handout created by myself and my associate Matt Gullet. As always, don't hesitate to email me if you have any questions. And, don't forget to send me photos of your projects. I always love seeing what people accomplish!
ALA Annual 2014
For anyone attending ALA Annual in Las Vegas this June, I'll be conducting some free 1:1 space planning sessions. Register here. NOTE: If my time slots are full, email me directly.
Also, on Saturday, June 28 from 1 - 2:30 in the Las Vegas Convention Center (room N243), I will be part of panel presentation discussing Developing Collaborative Spaces. Would love to see you there!

First playthrough on hard took me about 15 hours and 9 minutes and I did look around a lot.
And I mostly went Rambo at all the combat sequences expect the Infected parts.

Outer Heaven Outpost
Ranger Ren escorting Saundra Blake
"Miss Anzai, wake up, the Head Ranger has a mission for you!" screeched a two-way radio that was lying next to the girl's head as she was sleeping face down on her pillow. With a claw like grip, Ren snatched up the two-way and depressed one of the buttons on the side.
"Ranger Ren...here...what is my...mission?" she mumbled, still a bit groggy as she rubbed the sleepies out of her eyes.
"You'll be escorting a trainer named Saundra Blake to the Outer Heavens. I know this is your first job with us, but don't screw it up.
Have fuuuuun!
" the secretary's voice, distorted with static, suddenly clicked off and Ren had no choice but to get up.
Still wrapped up in her sleeping bag, Ren tried to wiggle over several feet to where her clothes were neatly folded, but when she tried to put her pants on without first getting out of her warm synthetic cocoon she ended up falling and knocking over her whole tent.
Yes, Ren was sleeping in a tent outside the Ranger Station. Some may have called her a bit overeager, but really she just didn't have a permanent place to sleep yet, and with her background she was used to roughing it in the great outdoors.
Now fully awake, she threw her long shaggy auburn hair into a messy ponytail and put a brick red and grey jacket on over the dark grey tank top she was already wearing. After slipping into her shoes and making sure she had everything, Ren jogged all of twenty feet and pushed open the door to the outpost where a smaller looking girl with nearly white hair was patiently waiting.
"Good morning! You must be Saundra. My name is Ren and I will be your guide to the Outer Heavens this morning. Are you all ready to leave?" she asked, looking to the secretary behind them in approval, but the tired woman just rolled her eyes and called out a tall green bird Pokemon that almost looked like it could be part of a totem pole who was glowing white and ready to teleport them to their destination.

Find it frustrating that you have to go back into your clock app to see how much time is left on your timer? Ever wondered if there was another way to check you timer's status? Well, look no further than your lock screen.
If you're a shift worker, look no further than Shifts for your scheduling needs.
Some weeks, I babysit, and others I don't. Every week, I have classes, except during holidays. Sure, these aren't shifts, but they provide the perfect example. With the calendar app Shifts ($1.99), I can create a "shift" programmed with the hours I work every week.
Nobody likes to think of herself as lazy, but everybody loves those iPhone tips that let them save a few microseconds or use one less tap or swipe. Here's one more to add to your arsenal. If you use Apple's iBooks, there are two easy ways to close a book. First, tap the book to open.
Widgets and interactive notifications in iOS 8 make everything a lot easier, including answering reminders. Now, you don't have to unlock your phone to mark a reminder as complete. First, set a reminder in the native app. When the reminder goes off, just swipe left.
Sometimes, you just don't have time to answer the phone. Sending the caller a quick text instead of answering is a good alternative if you happen to be busy.
Many people have different alarms for different days. Maybe you need to get up at 5:30 a.m. for work, but like to sleep in until 8 a.m. on the weekends. Maybe you need more motivation to GET UP!!!! before work in the morning. Never fear: you can name your alarms for that extra boost, or to remind you which one you need to use that day.
Do you find yourself heading back to the same websites over and over again, especially those which update often?
Arno Appenzeller has developed a new new app called Glimpse ($2.99) that let's you see all your favorite websites in one quick glance. Once you download the app, you can add web pages into it that will then show up as a widget in your Today view, located in your Notification Center.
Apple doesn't often allow you to modify user experiences. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but it's even more fun when you can! iOS users are now able to modify the "Today" view in the pull-down Notification Center in iOS 8.
Don't want to get constant notifications from Facebook or a guilty pleasure game (cough cough Candy Crush)? There are two ways to adjust the settings for your app notifications. The first way is to access the app's settings. The second way is through the notification settings on your device.
Some notifications on iOS 8 have become interactive! With most, you can swipe left and delete unwanted notifications in seconds, but they don't delete from the app (so you can go back later and check them out). Here's how:

PETA Abandons $1 Million Prize For Artificial Chicken 191
from the peta-decides-eating-people-is-fine dept.
Want to read Slashdot from your mobile device? Point it at m.slashdot.org and keep reading!
Aren't chicken nuggets artificial enough already ?
it wouldn't be paid out unless the contestant was selling a ton of the stuff in stores and restaurants across 10 states over three months... at the same price as real chicken.
Wow, you're not kidding. If you've got that, you've got revenue much higher than $1million, and are probably readying for a billion dollar IPO.
PETA appears to be against the mass exploitation of chickens. If 10bn chickens are killed annually for meat, and that reduces to 10m, they will have succeeded
The chicken isn't going to go extinct just because we stop exploiting it for meat on a mass scale. Stop pretending that complex bio-economic systems work in binary. The choice is not "continue to exploit animals in their billions" vs "watch them go extinct", and only a fool would claim that it was. I mean, I fucking hate PETA, but I hate binary thinking more (and I use the term "thinking" reservedly). As for the idea that mass production of chickens has some kind of advantage in terms of bio-diversity - it's complete and utter propagandist nonsense, although I guess it kind of works if you close your eyes and ignore the species that already went extinct so we can have enough land to grow enough corn to feed 10 billion identical fucking chickens.

Sleek and stunning, this white dress is festooned in black confetti and cinched at the waist. It will easily take you from the office to drinks to dinner. But you'll probably want to take it off when you get home. Sleek tends to be restrictive.
Now that your New Year's gym resolution is paying off (congrats on the dedication), you need a snug mini dress to be smug in.
Hot with black skinnies and those strappy shoes you can only wear when you don't have far to walk, this tiger striped tank is a good way to indulge in the black and white print craze.
We've decided this is a perfect brunch dress. Because it's a good foil for a bloody mary or three and you'll look cute and striped while standing in line and waiting for the check.
Swingy skirt and spaghetti straps make this spot dress one of our favorites. The white bow belt sets off the white polka dots and is severely tempting us to pull out our wallet.
With its vaguely Japanese inspired design, the Inkweb dress is good for lunch with grandma. Because it's demure but stylin. And grandma has good taste.
Boasting a Victorian-esque wallpaper pattern printed on flowing chiffon, this dress is has a decidedly un-Victorian flirty length and transparency.
Way to spin the blousy silk dress Etsy. Its black and white box pattern is adorable with colorful flats or tall black boots.

ABSTRACT: In general relativity, closed timelike curves can break causality with remarkable and unsettling consequences. At the classical level, they induce causal paradoxes disturbing enough to motivate conjectures that explicitly prevent their existence. At the quantum level, resolving such paradoxes induce radical benefits - from cloning unknown quantum states to solving problems intractable to quantum computers. Instinctively, one expects these benefits to vanish if causality is respected. Here we show that in harnessing entanglement, we can efficiently solve NP-complete problems and clone arbitrary quantum states - even when all time-travelling systems are completely isolated from the past. Thus, the many defining benefits of closed timelike curves can still be harnessed, even when causality is preserved. Our results unveil the subtle interplay between entanglement and general relativity, and significantly improve the potential of probing the radical effects that may exist at the interface between relativity and quantum theory.12/2014; - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We study the operational regime of a noiseless linear amplifier (NLA) based on quantum scissors that can nondeterministically amplify the one photon component of a quantum state with weak excitation. It has been shown that an arbitrarily large quantum state can be amplified by first splitting it into weak excitation states using a network of beamsplitters. The output states of the network can then be coherently recombined. In this paper, we analyse the performance of such a device for distilling entanglement after transmission through a lossy quantum channel, and look at two measures to determine the efficacy of the NLA. The measures used are the amount of entanglement achievable and the final purity of the output amplified entangled state. We study the performances of both a single and a two-element NLA for amplifying weakly excited states. Practically, we show that it may be advantageous to work with a limited number of stages.Journal of Physics B Atomic Molecular and Optical Physics 10/2014; 47(21):215503. · 1.92 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Entanglement distillation is an indispensable ingredient in extended quantum communication networks. Distillation protocols are necessarily non-deterministic and require advanced experimental techniques such as noiseless amplification. Recently it was shown that the benefits of noiseless amplification could be extracted by performing a post-selective filtering of the measurement record to improve the performance of quantum key distribution. We apply this protocol to entanglement degraded by transmission loss of up to the equivalent of 100km of optical fibre. We measure an effective entangled resource stronger than that achievable by even a maximally entangled resource passively transmitted through the same channel. We also provide a proof-of-principle demonstration of secret key extraction from an otherwise insecure regime. The measurement-based noiseless linear amplifier offers two advantages over its physical counterpart: ease of implementation and near optimal probability of success. It should provide an effective and versatile tool for a broad class of entanglement-based quantum communication protocols.Nature Photonics 09/2014; 8(4). · 29.96 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Quantum Key Distribution is a quantum communication technique in which random numbers are encoded on quantum systems, usually photons, and sent from one party, Alice, to another, Bob. Using the data sent via the quantum signals, supplemented by classical communication, it is possible for Alice and Bob to share an unconditionally secure secret key. This is not possible if only classical signals are sent. Whilst this last statement is a long standing result from quantum information theory it turns out only to be true in a non-relativistic setting. If relativistic quantum field theory is considered we show it is possible to distribute an unconditionally secure secret key without sending a quantum signal, instead harnessing the intrinsic entanglement between different regions of space time. The protocol is practical in free space given horizon technology and might be testable in principle in the near term using microwave technology.09/2014; - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We pose a randomized boson-sampling problem. Strong evidence exists that such a problem becomes intractable on a classical computer as a function of the number of bosons. We describe a quantum optical processor that can solve this problem efficiently based on a Gaussian input state, a linear optical network, and nonadaptive photon counting measurements. All the elements required to build such a processor currently exist. The demonstration of such a device would provide empirical evidence that quantum computers can, indeed, outperform classical computers and could lead to applications.Physical Review Letters 09/2014; 113(10):100502. · 7.73 Impact Factor -
Article: Channel purification via continuous-variable quantum teleportation with Gaussian post-selection
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present a protocol based on continuous-variable quantum teleportation and Gaussian post- selection that can be used to correct errors introduced by a lossy channel. We first show that the global transformation enacted by the protocol is equivalent to an effective system composed of a noiseless amplification (or attenuation), and an effective quantum channel, which can in theory have no loss and an amount of thermal noise arbitrarily small, hence tending to an identity channel. An application of our protocol is the probabilistic purification of quantum non-Gaussian states using only Gaussian operations.08/2014; - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Considering the problem of sampling from the output photon-counting probability distribution of a linear-optical network for input Gaussian states, we obtain new results that are of interest from both quantum theory and the complexity theory point of view. We derive a general formula for calculating the output probabilities. By considering input thermal states, we show that the output probabilities are proportional to permanents of positive definite Hermitian matrices. It is believed that approximating permanents of complex matrices in general is a #P-hard problem. However, we show that these permanents can be approximated with an algorithm within the third level of the polynomial hierarchy, as there exists an efficient classical algorithm for sampling from the output probability distribution. On the other hand, considering input squeezed-vacuum states, we show the output probabilities are proportional to a quantity which is, for at least a specific configuration, #P-hard to approximate.08/2014; - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Closed timelike curves are among the most controversial features of modern physics. As legitimate solutions to Einstein's field equations, they allow for time travel, which instinctively seems paradoxical. However, in the quantum regime these paradoxes can be resolved, leaving closed timelike curves consistent with relativity. The study of these systems therefore provides valuable insight into nonlinearities and the emergence of causal structures in quantum mechanics-essential for any formulation of a quantum theory of gravity. Here we experimentally simulate the nonlinear behaviour of a qubit interacting unitarily with an older version of itself, addressing some of the fascinating effects that arise in systems traversing a closed timelike curve. These include perfect discrimination of non-orthogonal states and, most intriguingly, the ability to distinguish nominally equivalent ways of preparing pure quantum states. Finally, we examine the dependence of these effects on the initial qubit state, the form of the unitary interaction and the influence of decoherence.Nature Communications 06/2014; 5:4145. · 10.74 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The event formalism is a non-linear extension of quantum field theory designed to be compatible with the closed time-like curves that appear in general relativity. Whilst reducing to standard quantum field theory in flat space-time the formalism leads to testably different predictions for entanglement distribution in curved space. In this paper we introduce a more general version of the formalism and use it to analyse the practicality of an experimental test of its predictions in the earth's gravitational well.New Journal of Physics 06/2014; 16(8). · 3.67 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]

ABSTRACT: We introduce a simple and efficient technique to verify quantum discord in unknown Gaussian states and certain class of non-Gaussian states.

ABSTRACT: By extending recently developed entropic uncertainty relations in the continuous variable regime we derive bounds upon the secret key rate of Gaussian modulated continuous variable quantum key distribution protocols in the limit of long key length. For several protocols the bounds obtained in this manner can be shown to be one sided device independent, including a protocol that uses only coherent states. Though the derived uncertainty relation is not tight, and neither are the subsequent key rates, we find that one-sided device independent schemes are experimentally achievable with existing technology for transmission over realistic channels.05/2014; - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We discuss how to experimentally detect a recently proposed measure to quantify macroscopic quantum superpositions [Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 220401 (2011)], namely, "macroscopic quantumness" $\mathcal{I}$. After reviewing distinguished properties of the measure $\mathcal{I}$, we point out that it can be detected without full tomography of the density matrix using an overlap measurement together with added decoherence. We review schemes for overlap measurements of harmonic oscillators and two-level systems based on swap operations, and discuss how to apply them to our purpose. An overlap measurement scheme based on controlled-swap operations is introduced for single-photon polarization qubits. In order to discuss experimental limitations, we analyze the effects of coarse-graining and detection inefficiency.04/2014; - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]

ABSTRACT: We show that a set of optical memories can act as a reconfigurable linear optical network operating on frequency-multiplexed optical states. Our protocol is applicable to any quantum memories that employ off-resonant Raman transitions to store optical information in atomic spins. In addition to the configurability, the protocol also offers favourable scaling with an increasing number of modes where N memories can be configured to implement an arbitrary N-mode unitary operations during storage and readout. We demonstrate the versatility of this protocol by showing a example where cascaded memories are used to implement a conditional CZ gate.Physical review letters. 11/2013; 113(6). - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Entangled coherent states are useful for various applications in quantum information processing but they are are sensitive to loss. We propose a scheme to generate distributed entangled coherent states over a lossy environment in such a way that the fidelity is independent of the losses at detectors heralding the generation of the entanglement. We compare our scheme with a previous one for the same purpose [Ourjoumtsev {\em et al.}, Nat. Phys. {\bf 5} 189 (2009)] and find parameters for which our new scheme results in superior performance.Physical Review A 10/2013; · 2.99 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We introduce a simple and efficient technique to verify quantum discord in unknown Gaussian states and a certain class of non-Gaussian states. We show that any separation in the peaks of the marginal distributions of one subsystem conditioned on two different outcomes of homodyne measurements performed on the other subsystem indicates correlation between the corresponding quadratures, and hence nonzero discord. We also apply this method to non-Gaussian states that are prepared by overlapping a statistical mixture of coherent and vacuum states on a beam splitter. We experimentally demonstrate this technique by verifying nonzero quantum discord in a bipartite Gaussian non-Gaussian states.Journal of Physics B Atomic Molecular and Optical Physics 10/2013; 47(2). · 1.92 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Entanglement between quantum and classical objects is of special interest in the context of fundamental studies of quantum mechanics and potential applications to quantum information processing. In quantum optics, single photons are treated as light quanta while coherent states are considered the most classical among all pure states. Recently, entanglement between a single photon and a coherent state in a free-traveling field was identified to be a useful resource for optical quantum information processing. However, it was pointed out to be extremely difficult to generate such states since it requires a clean cross-Kerr nonlinear interaction. Here, we devise and experimentally demonstrate a scheme to generate such hybrid entanglement by implementing a coherent superposition of two distinct quantum operations. The generated states clearly show entanglement between the two different types of states. Our work opens a way to generate hybrid entanglement of a larger size and to develop efficient quantum information processing using such a new type of qubits.Nature Photonics 09/2013; 8(7). · 29.96 Impact Factor - Nature 08/2013; 500(7462):282-3. · 42.35 Impact Factor
Article: High-fidelity teleportation of continuous-variable quantum States using delocalized single photons.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Traditional continuous-variable teleportation can only approach unit fidelity in the limit of an infinite (and unphysical) amount of squeezing. We describe a new method for continuous-variable teleportation that approaches unit fidelity with finite resources. The protocol is not based on squeezed states as in traditional teleportation but on an ensemble of single photon entangled states. We characterize the teleportation scheme with coherent states, mesoscopic superposition states, and two-mode squeezed states and we find several situations in which near-unity teleportation fidelity can be obtained with modest resources.Physical Review Letters 08/2013; 111(5):050504. · 7.73 Impact Factor

Every year, on the last Saturday of January, over 125 poets, writers, and performers show their support for Woodland Pattern by participating in its Annual Poetry Marathon & Benefit. Each writer presents five minutes of work to a packed house and raises pledge money benefiting Woodland Pattern programming.
Hundreds of people faithfully turn out for this vibrant community event. Last year's Marathon drew an audience of over 500 people, and featured over 125 readers from across the nation. Through the funds brought in by each reader and the generosity of donors, we were able to further support programming for Woodland Pattern during the calendar year of 2009. We expect to have another great turnout in 2010 and hope that you can be a part of our legacy!
Participating in the Marathon is one way you can invigorate the literary arts community in Milwaukee. It is not too late to sign up to read, become a donor, or bring a friend along to witness the action. Hope to see you on the 30th, your spirit and energy is important as we kick off another year of great poetry and art at Woodland Pattern.
