Jax Cheap Approximation of Insight into UCSB Quantum
Computing - Jack Woehr
"Since I'm too cheap to pay for the
articles from Nature, Physics Today, etc., my approximation of insight into the
work of the Martinis
Group at USCB is derived from a brief conversation with Dr. Martinis on
December 4, 2014 and from inferences made on the basis of the pretty pictures
on the Martinis Group website." |

Kestrel Update - Samuel A. Falvo II
"I can give
a quick update on the Kestrel's
64-bit developments. I've finally settled on an overall memory map, and
work on my assembler has resumed now that I have an idea of how to proceed with
it."
Sam will also provide updated information concerning the RISC-V
community. The lowRISC group is working
to create a real chip with a somewhat mainframe-y feel, targeting embedded
environments.

Online Round Table
Do you remember the
"FIGgy
Bar" on GEnie?
We'll have an online 'round table' by inviting a few
participants to join the Google+ Hangout. To join in a practice session you
