Enjoy this unique exhibition of rock music memorabilia from the archive of editor, journalist, and radio disc jockey Ken Best. This personal collection features decades worth of iconic photos, album covers, posters and promotional materials that Best has amassed while writing about music for newspapers in New Jersey and Connecticut and interviewing musicians and authors on the radio at WPKN in Bridgeport and WHUS in Storrs. Highlighted will be 50 photos of major rock 'n' roll figures by Connecticut photographer Joseph Sia, including his famous image of Jimi Hendrix at Woolsey Hall in New Haven in 1968, known as "The Shadow," from Best and Sia's 1992 book,Eight Days a Week: An Illustrated Record of Rock 'n' Roll (Pomegranate Books).

Opening reception will be from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 6 at the gallery.

GI Grand Rounds conferences take place weekly on Wednesdays at noon via Webex. Please contact Amy Pallotti to be added to detailed conference announcement emails.

Unlike today's "classical" computers that use electrical signals to represent ones or zeroes, quantum computers employ subatomic particles called qubits. When managed properly, qubits can represent combinations of both ones and zeroes simultaneously in the mysterious world of quantum mechanics. "In some cases, computers with these quantum abilities can solve large-scale problems much faster than their classical counterparts can. Examples include simulating the behavior of matter, analyzing compounds to create new drugs, optimizing factory floors or global supply chains, and identifying fraud ad risk patterns in financial transactions" (MIT website), and cracking the most secure passwords such as those currently used for international bank transactions, even though classical computers operate faster (thus better at solving "smaller" problems). Our discussion will cut through the hype.Walter Krawec, Computing Department, UConn
