Grad School

So, I’ve been in grad school for almost a month now, which seems incredible. I guess I should be used to time whizzing by now, but I still find it surprising. Classes are going okay. The problem sets are really rolling in now, but so far they have been manageable. I worry about when the problem sets really start getting difficult.

I haven’t been able to devote much time to research questions. Rob asked me to calculate the landscape of phase changes to the measuring pulse for the 2-qubit cQED system. It took me a while to figure out how to do this for the 1-qubit case, and by the time I thought I knew how to do 2-qubits, I was already deep in problem sets. So, I’ve been reduced to working on physics during time which I would normally set aside for relaxation. Oh well.

I’ve been pretty quiet on this blog, but I suppose it is time to start posting again. The web address will probably change soon. I’m thinking about taking down needcollegestuff.com indefinitely. So, this will likely move to an address I bought 6 months ago: blakerobertjohnson.com. We’ll see if I can get the hosting company to do the changeover gracefully.

Alright, I’m out. Gotta get to group meeting.
