Well, the time has come for me to start applying to graduate schools.  
Unfortunately, I haven't given it too much thought yet.  I know that I
want to go into quantum optics or condensed matter theory (so long as there's 
a strong connection to the experimental world) or quantum optics experimental.
I also know that I will stick to Canada, the Eastern US or England.  However,
I don't really know much about the schools to be found there. so what I need
is a starting point to begin my search.

I would like to know which good schools out there have something in my field
of interest to offer.  In particular, I would like to know about

 Waterloo (Can)
 McMaster
 McGill
 Guelph
 UBC (west, but o.k.)

 MIT (US)
 Yale
 Harvard
 Chicago
 Cornell
 Princeton
 Stanford (West, but that's o.k.)
 Caltech
 UC__
 
 Oxford (UK)
 Cambridge

Would people in this group mail me some tips about these schools (contacts,
compatibility with my field, how to apply, general tips).  Also, have I 
missed any schools?

I greatly appreciate the efforts of the members of this group to comply with
my request.  

Thanks

Adrian
