Long before the big budgets and dedicated teams however, the field smoldered on the scientific sidelines within the hazy, bong-filled excesses of the 1970s New Age movement. Many of the ideas that now occupy the core of quantum information science once found their home amid an anything-goes counterculture frenzy, a mishmash of spoon-bending psychics, Eastern mysticism, LSD trips, CIA spooks chasing mind-reading dreams, and comparable "Age of Aquarius" enthusiasts. Listen as MIT Professor David Kaiser describes the field's bumpy transition from New Age to cutting edge.</dd></span></div><div><br></div><div>You can learn more about the Cambridge Science Festival here:</div><div><a href="http://cambridgesciencefestival.org/Home.aspx">http://cambridgesciencefestival.org/Home.aspx</a></div><div><br></div><div>best,</div><div>Dave</div><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">__________________________________</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">David Kaiser<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span><a href="mailto:dikaiser@mit.edu">dikaiser@mit.edu</a></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Associate Professor</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Program in Science, Technology, & Society</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">and Lecturer, Department of Physics</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Building E51-185</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Massachusetts Institute of Technology</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">77 Massachusetts Avenue</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Cambridge, MA 02139 USA</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Phone: 617 452-3173<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Fax: 617 258-8118</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><a href="http://web.mit.edu/dikaiser/www">http://web.mit.edu/dikaiser/www</a></div><div><br></div></div><div><br></div></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div><br></body></html>
