SUMMARY:Past work and future interests: respectively\, the scattering of A
 nyons and Monte Carlo methods - Alexander Matthews

CONTACT:Zoubin Ghahramani
DESCRIPTION:This is a talk in two distinct parts. The first section briefl
 y discusses Anyons which are quasi-particles present in certain condensed 
 matter systems that could be of use in quantum computation. Attempts to fi
 nd experimentally verifiable theoretical properties of their behaviour are
  detailed. The second section is a review of certain Monte Carlo methods. 
 There is a bias towards slice sampling\, which is used as a case study to 
 motivate Markov chain Monte Carlo and exact sampling methods.\n
