We, like all other sites, have a chat room. However, currently it has the rather boring name of "Quantum Computing".

Most other sites have a room with a more intresting name: The Nineteenth Byte for Code Golf, The Sphinx's Lair for Puzzling, The Bridge for Arqade, etc.

What are your suggestions for a better chat room name?

    $\begingroup$ Thanks to our new room owner, Blue, our chat room has been renamed to "The Classical Channel" $\endgroup$

(The) Classical channel

In quantum computing, a classical channel is a means of transferring classical information. The chatroom is a classical channel.

Imagine all the ridiculous puns that will be enjoyed...

    $\begingroup$ I like this. But perhaps modify it a bit to "The Classical Channel". $\endgroup$

The Entanglement

Because this is at the heart of quantum computing.

Schrödinger's Chat

A pun on Schrödinger's Cat. It has more to do with Quantum Mechanics in general than just Quantum Computing, but I wanted to throw it out there.

    $\begingroup$ I -1'ed this proposal and want to explain my reasoning – As you said yourself, this is more about Quantum rather than Computing, and we seem to ban such questions. Having this name might therefore confuse some, so I think we should choose something more specific to quantum computing (this one fist Physics.SE too, for example). Though I have to agree that the pun is great :) $\endgroup$

Really, really bad one, but: Controlled-HAT: controlled-NOT or CNOT, or, in this case, CHAT...

  • $\begingroup$ I like the idea of this, if not the exact example. Some kind of pun on quantum gates would be neat. $\endgroup$

Quantum channel

A quantum channel is a means of transferring quantum information, i.e. a quantum bit register. In the case of the chat room, the "quantum channel" refers to the idea that each SE site is a channel for a specific topic, this one being quantum computation.

QuChat. (Or maybe QChat)

Like bit $\rightarrow$ qubit, chat $\rightarrow$QuChat

It also has QChat in it.

The Unobservatory

Because this site is about research where you can't observe what you're studying (the qubits) without ruining their state.

<Qu|Co|De>

I don't know how this will go, but, as mentioned in the above name, Qu.Co.De. means Quantum Computing Department.
