The Technology is embodied in nonprovisional patent application filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The Technology is, in part, described in Physical Review A, 60, R773, 1999.

Respondents are encouraged to provide ancillary documentation such as annual reports, corporate resumes, and website addresses. The Letter of Interest must provide this information or the respondent will not be considered as a qualified respondent. The Letter of Interest must be received on or before 13 April 2001. Qualified respondents will be required to submit a comprehensive business plan. A decision whether to enter into license negotiations will be based on the University's evaluation of this business plan. Please send Letters of Interest to the attention of John B.
