Immortality Institute Chat: Dr. Geordie Rose of D-Wave Systems
Date and Time: Sunday, January 27, 2008 from 4:00pm until 6:00pm MST
Location: Skype Chat - email chat organizer to be added to chat list
Description:
The Immortality Institute will welcome Dr. Geordie Rose of D-Wave Systems this Sunday January 27th. Time has yet to be decided. Dr. Rose is famous for founding D-Wave systems and producing the world's first commercial quantum computer, although many in the physics community are still skeptical. In a press release last year, D-Wave systems said it would have a 1,024 bit quantum computer functioning by the end this year. In this Sunday's exclusive Immortality Institute chat, find out if D-Wave is still on pace to deliver. Also, find out how quantum computing might assist with aging research.Since guests have had trouble logging into the IRC chat room recently, I would prefer to use Skype text chat for this Sunday night's chat. In order to accomplish this I will need to know everyone's Skype name (who plans on attending) in order to add you to the conference text chat when it begins. You can list you skype name in this thread, or send me a PM. I will add you to my contacts list.
...[T]he time for the Sunday evening chat has been set at 5:00pm CST (23:00 GMT). This will be a Skype chat (for reasons listed above). I have a lot of regular chat attendees in my Skype contact list, however if you would like to be added to the chat, you will need to let me know your Skype name.
