Quantum Computing: a Quantum Group Approach
There is compelling theoretical evidence that quantum physics will change the
face of information science. Exciting progress has been made during the last
two decades towards the building of a large scale quantum computer. A quantum
group approach stands out as a promising route to this holy grail, and provides
hope that we may have quantum computers in our future.Comment: To appear in the proceedings of the 2012 Nankai international

Towards the Phenomenology of QCD-Instanton Induced Particle Production
We present a first status report on a broad and systematic study of possible
manifestations of QCD-instantons at HERA. Considerable motivation comes from
the close analogy between instanton-induced violation in electroweak
processes and effects of QCD-instantons in deep inelastic scattering. We
concentrate on the high multiplicity final state structure, reminiscent of an
isotropically decaying ``fireball''. A set of experimental isolation criteria
is proposed. They serve to further enhance the striking event signature without
significantly suppressing the expected rates.Comment: 32 pages, latex, epsfig, 11 uuencoded figure
On the side of the angels: community involvement in the governance of neighbourhood renewal.
This article draws upon the authors’ experiences of community-led regeneration developed while members of the National Evaluation Team for the NDC Programme. The article continues the focus on urban regeneration adopted in a range of outputs from two of the authors over the last decade. In assessing how the term community has been defined by policy-makers and the challenges involved in empowering communities, the output was aimed at both academic and user communities. For its direct relevance to communities involved in regeneration, the article was awarded the 2006 Sam Aaronovitch Prize, awarded annually by the journal Local Economy
Comparative Literautre: Religion and Religious Symbolism in the Tale of the Grail by Three Authors
The myth of the Grail has long been recognised as the cornerstone of Arthurian literature. Many studies have been conducted on the subject of Christian symbolism in the major Grail romances. However, the aim of the present paper is to prove that the 15th-century “Tale of the Sangrail”, found in Le Morte d’Arthur, by Thomas Malory, presents a greater degree of Christian coloration than 12th -century Chrétien de Troyes’ Perceval and Wolfram von Eschenbach’s Parzival. In order to evaluate this claim, the origin and function of the main elements at the Grail Ceremony were compared in the first place. Secondly, the main characters’ roles were examined to determine variations concerning religious beliefs and overall character development. The findings demonstrated that the main elements at the Grail Ceremony in Thomas Malory’s “The Tale of the Sangrail” are more closely linked to Christian motifs and that Perceval’s psychological development in the same work conflicts with that of a stereotypical Bildungsroman, in contrast with the previous 12th -century versions of the tale
