Hi everyone,
            There's a good article 
              in this month's (Nov.) issue of Scientific American, on quantum 
              information and quantum computation which are hot topics in physics 
              these days. You can read the article on-line at:
            http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa006&articleID=0005C8BF-1B88-1D9B-815A809EC5880000
            (it's a long address 
              so you may have to cut and paste it directly into your browser)
            For those of you in my 
              quantum class, it touches on and ties together many of the things 
              we've been discussing in the last 2 weeks so we can talk about the 
              article in class tomorrow and/or next week if people are interested.
