The implementation of quantum memory, i.e. a quantum interface between light and matter, is central to advanced applications of quantum information processing and communication [1]. Notably, quantum memories are key ingredients in quantum repeaters [2], which promise extending quantum communication beyond its current distance limit. After a brief review of the working principle of a quantum repeater...
This paper presents recent work on the addition of emotions and affective behaviour to robotic avatars within second life, as part of continuing research and development in the area of interactive agents for games and simulations. The development is based upon the E-AI architecture which is a proposed computational model of emotions intended to be used by developers who already have their own agent...
