be a long time, if ever, before it sees publication.
If you're curious, see the abstract at
http://arxiv.org/abs/0811.1209
There is a link to the PDF of the full paper as well, so you don't have to wait for the PRL publication.
But my Quantum-Mechanics course 10 years ago was obviously not enough for me to be able to follow that paper. ;-)
