I know this thread is basically dead, but just for the record, I was informed today that I was granted the MSP. I hope it serves as future reference.
The people commenting on this thread were really helpful. Thanks.
I did wake up at 6am justo to constantly press F5. I've been tempted to write an e-mail too. Your assumptions make sense. I really really hope it is not going to take until next week.
I found a post on the survey from the 7th of march last year in which the person says that he got rejected for the scholarship. So I guess you do get a rejection e-mail.
It is really nice to meet you all. I hope we all get the ESOP. It would be great to meet you in person once we are at ETH.
I am aware of the application of topological phases in quantum computation. That was one of my possible research topics for my Bachelor's final year's research topic and I did some research on it. It is really interesting. Sounds great to hear about the theoretical computer science's perspective on quantum computation.
ha ha. Sounds about right.
Hello @tudor, I had the exact same question for you. The professor who interviewed me is Matthias Troyer. I am probably gonna specialise on quantum information/computation. How about you? Who interviewed you and what will your specialisation be?
I really hope the decision will arrive early this week. And just like @nonkreon and @jmlribeiro pointed out, I guess we will have to check this thread constantly.
I got an interview too. I hope this will be the decision week.
The milestones idea is pretty good, so here are mine for future reference.
