Quantum control

In a week I am heading of to Toronto a Conference on Quantum Information and Quantum Control. I will give a talk on quantum decoherence in biomolecules. There are a number of speakers I am looking forward to hearing and meeting. Hopefully, I will post something about their work soon...
