Planning Meeting

Gentle members,

This Wednesday March 1 will be (a) a planning meeting, and if time allows,
(b) some interesting videos or maybe even a surprise presentation.



We’ll look over our current schedule, look through the potential topics
list, and consider other possible topics from the peanut gallery (those
attending).

This is your chance to help us decide on what neat things we should present
for your education and amusement.

Please join us Wednesday and help with your thoughts and ideas.

John, Bob, Peter, and Steve

Quantum Entanglement. Martin Zwierlein is going to talk to us about quantum
entanglement, the topic of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics, awarded to John
Clauser, Alain Aspect, and Anton Zeilinger “for experiments with entangled
photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering
quantum information science.”
As a simple example of quantum entanglement, Martin will present a quantum
version of two coupled pendula, which he realized with trapped atom pairs
in his lab [1]
*Martin Zwierlein is Thomas A. Frank Professor of Physics at MIT. He
studies strongly interacting Fermi gases of atoms and molecules. These
gases host novel states of matter and serve as pristine model systems for
other Fermi systems such as neutron stars or high-temperature
superconductors.*

If this email wasn't addressed to you and you would like to join the group,
or if you have a friend or colleague who might also be interested in
joining, it's easy.  Ask them to go to the group's wiki page at
http://LCTG.toku.us and follow the simple instructions under "Join the
Email List".  By being a member of the group you'll get reminders of
upcoming meetings and infrequent related messages. No advertising.  The
list is tightly managed.

Membership is free and given that all meetings are available on Zoom you
only need to be connected to the Internet to join. It's ok to join from
anywhere you can get a decent Internet connection.

   - We, the Lexington Computer and Technology Group, will meet Wednesday
   at the usual 10AM Eastern Time, online, using the Zoom Video Conferencing
   Application, facilitated by Steve Isenberg.

There is an instruction page at https://toku.us/zoomish but note that the
URL and phone number shown are examples.



To join our online meeting, sometime after 9:45 AM on Wednesday, choose one
of the following options:

   - If you have the Zoom application installed, start it and join meeting
   with ID 972 6146 0830
   - From your browser, go to: https://zoom.us/j/97261460830
   - From your smartphone, tap this: +16468769923,,97261460830
   - From a “dumb” telephone, call 1 646 876 9923 and enter meeting ID: 972
   6146 0830


   - Once the connection is established, you may need to locate and use the
   on-screen controls that turn on the sound and the video. You should be able
   to see and hear others and they should be able to see and hear you, if you
   have a camera and microphone (each of which you can unmute selectively).
