I'm reading Seth Lloyd's breezy book "Programming the Universe." Breeziness is a good thing when you're writing about quantum mechanics and information theory for a lay readership. But I'm finding myself frustrated that he's not digging deeper into the ontological questions about information. I find myself asking whether he could ...

MIT has won a three million dollar NSF grant for a interdisciplinary graduate training program for quantum information science. The program will be called iQuISE and will be lead by Isaac Chuang along with Seth Lloyd and Jeffery Shapiro. Now the real question is how the heck do you pronounce iQuISE? "I.Qs?" "I Kiss?" "I.Q. eyes?" Oh, and also we get the answer to how interdisciplinary...

... and accuracy of computing, communications and measurement, according to research by MIT scientist Seth Lloyd. Quantum mechanics is the set of physical theories that explain the behavior of matter and energy at the scale of atoms and subatomic particles. It includes a number of strange properties that differ significantly from the way things work at sizes that people can observe directly,...

... obesity, diabetes, mood disorders and schizophrenia. Speaking to TheSpoof.com Derek explained “Seth Lloyd and myself have been working on a model for a quantum computer that can emulate the universe since the big bang, we recently discovered that diatoms have a collective memory and the more we learn about them, the more they learn about us. What has been missing from models of quantum...
