The Quantum Image Physicists Produce Quantum-Entangled Images. Using a convenient and flexible method for creating twin light beams, researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland (UM) have produced "quantum images," pairs of information-rich visual patterns whose features are "entangled," or inextricably linked by the laws of quantum physics.

At Ottmar Liebert while the Sun Shone Brightly Wednesday in Santa Fe. Got up early. Had to drive to Albuquerque and back - but that's a story for another day. Brief rehearsal 1200-1400 before packing up everything. Band sounded very good. We will play most of the songs from the new album. After the gear left, I started packing. It rained a few drops while the sun shone brightly. My mother called that "Im Himmel ist Jahrmarkt." Himmel can mean Sky or Heaven in German, but in this case the meaning is there is a fair in heaven - meaning the angels are drunk and flipped the switches for rain and sunshine at the same time... Am still packing. PS: The Scent of Light is in the digital distribution pipeline. Expect it on iTunes and amazon and all the other sites next week, or the week after that. You can always buy it and download it from us instead. PPS: Adam reviews "The Scent of Light" [Ottmar Liebert] 6:31:09 PM
