Literature reviews

This is a page where I keep track of all the papers I read. The central theme is "topological quantum information", though I by no means hold myself to that strictly. There are tags on all of the posts to help keep track of things.

Every post contains a brief summary, along with relevant comments. Posts are written to be maximally lucid upon my future re-reading. I make no effort to define, explain, or prove every term/claim. If something is confusing/you want to know more, email me.

By their compressed narrative nature, summaries/stories are much easier to hold on to than primary experiences. I find myself reading lots of papers, and wanting to remember what I read. This often takes the form of an internal summarizing/storytelling.

To help remember things even better I have taken up the task of writing out these stories, along with technical comments, questions, and tidbits that come up along the process.

An additional point is that keeping such a list forces me to get into the habit of crystallizing stories, and it is useful for future reference.
