Realization of a hybrid atom-optomechanical system is a first
A recent PRL on the realization of a hybrid atom-optomechanical system involving AQUTE researchers in the University of Basel, received some attention, including a "Physics viewpoint" and an article in the January issue of the Physik Journal.
The press release is available at the following link: http://www.mpq.mpg.de/cms/mpq/en/news/press/11_10_14.html

Prof. Dan Browne from the University College London in the newest issue of APS Physics writes about the QEssence's researchers latest discovery (prl.aps.org/abstract/PRL/v107/i12/e120501) that using a quantum computer to simulate another quantum system will work even when the modeled system is not isolated from its environment.
Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 120501 (2011)
We show that the time evolution of an open quantum system, described by a possibly time dependent Liouvillian, can be simulated by a unitary quantum circuit of a size scaling polynomially in the simulation time and the size of the system. An immediate consequence is that dissipative quantum computing is no more powerful than the unitary circuit model.
The QUIE2T-sponsored international conference on Quantum Information Processing and Communication (QIPC 2011) was held at ETH Zurich from September 5 - 9, 2011.
A detailed report on the conference is attached below.
