On: What does it mean for light to be stopped or store...

I think that was the easiest to understand/intro to quantam information handling that I have read.

I also enjoyed how they went from: Heinze, Hubrich, and Halfmann -> H and H and H -> the three H's. I kind of expected it to go to "triple H"

H^3 perhaps. There is a precedent. The Lenstra-Lenstra-Lovasz algorithm (LLL) is often called L^3, admittedly because the complexity is O(L^3) in the bit size L. Later a quadratic algorithm was discovered, cheekily called the L^2 algorithm. Later still it was done in quasilinear time. Unfortunately, the authors of those papers did not have the sense to have names starting with L.

I was unaware of an L^2 (or better) algorithm - can you provide a reference? Even just a term to search for - my Search-fu is failing.

Thanks.

Added in edit:

OK, I've found these - hoping I'm on the right track:

    1982    LLL    Lenstra Lenstra Lovász
    1987    BKZ    Block Korkine Zolotarev
    2002    RSR    Random Sampling Reduction
    2002    PDR    Primal Dual Reduction

I definitely like your reasoning for H^3 better than my reasoning for "Triple H," the wrestler :)
