My name is Mercedes Gimeno-Segovia, I am a quantum physicist whose research mainly focuses on large-scale photonic quantum computing, developing new theoretical ideas and protocols that can be easily implemented in the lab.

This is an open science weblog focused on quantum information theory, condensed matter physics, and mathematical physics.

I am a researcher in quantum information theory based at the Institut für Theoretische Physik, Leibniz Universität Hannover. I am interested in quantum information theory and complex quantum systems.

Inspired by the recent discussions (see, eg., Michael Nielsen’s blog postings) surrounding open science I decided to start a weblog containing my research notes. I intend to post my notes on my various research projects along with some expository material. It is my hope that this weblog can become a forum for open discussion and research. Thus I would like to invite you to comment, contribute, and collaborate! If you make any progress on the ideas or open problems discussed on this site then please let me know via the comments: I am more than happy for anything here to become a joint project, the more the merrier!
