Re: [Aspuru-Guzik group list] [theory-list] Theory meeting today at 5PM

by Alejandro Perdomo

We will talk today about construction of arbitrary funtions out of binary variables and as an example we will go over the construction of hamiltonians for a simple model used in protein folding (HP model). It should be fun and we will build everything from scratch. -Alejandro On 6/7/07, Theory mailing list for Harvard Chemistry < theory-list(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu> wrote: > > We will be discussing second quantized quantum chemistry.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] SUMMER DETAILS - IMPORTANT.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear lab members, As you probably have seen I've been very busy in the last few days/weeks. I owe many people manuscripts and 2-pagers, grants, etc. To speed up processes, please don't stop by my office before 1.00 PM unless it is a big emergency, and even then, try to send e-mail. I need to prepare many things, including the NSF career, and the only way I can do all of this is to have time of my own. We'll try to streamline things by meeting in sub-groups whenever possible, and to schedule things more tightly. In summary, I suggest the following steps: 1. Let's re-schedule all one-to-one and sub-group meetings to the afternoon. Don't stop by my office before 1.00 PM unless it is an absolute emergency. I might work from home some of these days. 2. Suggest meetings to me using the Google calendar. If I have not added you to my Google calendar, send me an e-mail. I prefer that to the: Alan can we meet on So and So at 6:00 PM?, etc. That makes me go to my calendar, click on it, see what I have to do that day, so on. 3. Before knocking on my door, think about if you can get answers for the question from another researcher or Minoo. 4. Let's continue group meetings for the summer. Now I think we are in a stage that we can start presenting results of our research and progress reports in presentation format. These could be augmented with our "review" seminar series (on which James will finish DMRG and Alejandro will work on Anderson localization) We need a seminar coordinator: Who volunteers? 5. I expect you guys to be around the lab as much as possible when you are in town.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Rhino League Volleyball Team

by blandry＠fas.harvard.edu

Hi everyone, We've put together a volleyball team to participate in the Rhino Volleyball League played over in front of the Biolabs. Our team will draw players from the theoretical chemistry groups. We play about one game a week. If you are interested in participating please reply to this e-mail, so that I can form an e-mail list. Our first game is next Wednesday (the 13th) at 10 am. The league is meant to be fun and not too competitive so even if you have little or no volleyball experience, please consider playing. We'll probably have a practice early next week so we can go over the basics for those who don't know. If anyone associated with your group who wants to play did not get this e-mail please feel free to forward it to them. Brian

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] gazelles and lions

by Ali Najmaie

Hello all, "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle when the sun comes up you'd better be running." -Anon?? The interest in joining the running-subgroup, seems to be growing, which is great!! For those who are interested. Lets meet tomorrow (Friday) morning at 7:30 (A.M.) in M110. We typically warm up by running to Charles Rivers and then we run for about 20 minutes. We run at a very gentle paste and try to have a good time. We could even pick up some coffee afterwards. In an ideal world, it would be nice, to run on Sundays (Sundays are particularly peaceful by the river), Tuesdays, Thursdays and maybe we could try another form of physical activity on Fridays, maybe lifting beer pints?!!

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] CLUSTER STATUS

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear all, We got a failure on a disk on the head node. The cluster will be down for a couple days I guess. NO DATA WAS LOST. Leslie and I am backing it up as we speak.. We will open the cluster back to the public as soon as Angstrom replaces the disk.
