[Aspuru-Guzik group list] QC meeting today

by Semion K Saikin

I have sent the following message some time ago from my gmail account, but it seems it did not go through. For those who are interested in Quantum Computation: Wed 10/22, 3:00 in 36-428 (special seminar) William Oliver (MIT Lincoln Laboratory) Quantum Computation with Superconducting Artificial Atoms In this talk, we will present an overview of our superconductive quantum computing effort. In collaboration with Lincoln�s Solid State Division (Division 8) and the MIT campus, we have fabricated superconductive artificial atoms, actively cooled them to near absolute zero, and demonstrated new broadband spectroscopy techniques along with the more conventional Rabi, Ramsey, and spin-echo metrics to characterize their coherence. These artificial atoms form the fundamental building blocks, �qubits,� of a quantum information processor. We have developed and simulated a universal set of gate operations capable of low error rates to control these qubits. Today, we are working to improve single-qubit coherence while coupling these qubits into more complicated circuit elements. The talk will present a review of our progress and future work. It is at Research Laboratory of Electronics. Sorry for late advertisement. I just have got this info. Semion

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Group theory for spectroscopy

by James D Whitfield

Hi, Anyone want to learn group theory a little better? I've been learning it on my own and I promised to show it to Cesar in a (hopefully) systematic development leading to applications in spectroscopy. Let me know if you want to listen in (or if you want to help teach it).

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Correction: Sustainability Week Faculty Panel - Monday, October 20

by Center for the Environment

_Please excuse this second email. The HUCE faculty panel on sustainability moderated by Daniel Schrag is on Monday, October 20 (not the 21 as listed in the Weekly Events email). Details above and below. Please feel free to forward this information along to your friends and colleagues._ __--- The Harvard University Center for the Environment is pleased to host a faculty panel discussion: _“Reducing Carbon, Promoting Sustainability: the Role of Individuals and Institutions”_ As our society struggles with reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to more sustainable environmental practices in general, many individuals, companies, schools and other institutions have made commitments to play leadership roles in these efforts. But how much of an impact can individuals or institutions really make? How do individuals and institutions like Harvard fit into national or global goals of reducing carbon emissions specifically and promoting environmental sustainability more generally? What are the roles for individuals, institutions, and companies in reducing carbon and promoting environmental sustainability? _Moderator: ___ _Daniel Schrag,_ Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences and Professor of Environmental Science and Engineering; Director, Harvard University Center for the Environment _Panelists:_ _William Clark_, professor and co-director, Sustainability Science Program, Harvard Kennedy School _Kelly Sims Gallagher_, director, Energy Technology Innovation Project, Harvard Kennedy School _Robert Stavins_, professor and director, Harvard Environmental Economics Program, Harvard Kennedy School _Richard Zeckhauser_, professor, Harvard Kennedy School _Monday, October 20_ _5:30 to 7:00 pm_ _ _ _Fong Auditorium_ _Boylston Hall_ _Harvard Yard_ _Cambridge__, MA___ This panel is part of a weeklong series of events to promote and celebrate Harvard's broader environmental initiatives, including the critical role we play as a university in teaching and research in this area.
