Next week's research day has provisionally been scheduled for Thursday. Please complain to me if this is a problem. If a significant number of people object we can change it. The talk has been scheduled at 11am on Thursday 14th February, abstract below.

Single-shot quantum state merging
I will introduce the task of quantum state merging and give a protocol for this task which has been shown to require at least a certain amount of entanglement. We have shown that the amount of entanglement consumed by this protocol is optimal.
