I interviewed, and they really liked me, but state funding has run dry due to the LA fires, so they told me they couldn't afford to fund my PhD. I was interested in QIS.

had to send an Email to Richard Thompson. I guess one related publication(quantum information) in PRA(Rapid Communications) was not enough. I thought I could easily get in, seems like I was wrong... rejection after rejection!
