Leslie Smith sent me the following today:
Dear Igor,
I am especially glad that your talk "Compressive Sensing, what is it good for?" at Supelec (see http://nuit-blanche.blogspot.com/2013/04/compressive-sensing-what-is-it-good-for_24.html and http://nuit-blanche.blogspot.com/2013/04/sunday-monring-insight-compressive.html) went well because I gave a talk in a similar vein at the SPIE DSS 2013 conference on compressive sensing last Friday, May 3rd. The message I hoped to

We mentioned this implementation earlier here, here is a refinement: Phase retrieval for imaging problems by Fajwel Fogel, Irène Waldspurger, Alexandre d'Aspremont. The abstract reads:
We study convex relaxation algorithms for phase retrieval on imaging problems. We show that structural assumptions on the signal and the observations, such as sparsity, smoothness or positivity, can be exploited to both speed-up convergence and improve recovery performance. We detail
