[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Today at 5 pm -- Connected Publics: Power and Politics in a Networked Age

by Center for the Environment

Science and Democracy, a lecture series aimed at exploring both the promised benefits or our era's most salient scientific and technological breakthroughs and the potentially harmful consequences of developments that are inadequately understood, debated, or managed by politicians, lay publics, and policy institutions. "Connected Publics: Power and Politics in a Networked Age" A Panel Discussion Featuring: Yochai Benkler, the Berkman Professor of Entrepreneurial Legal Studies at Harvard, and faculty co-director of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society Antoine Picon, Professor of the History of Architecture and Technology at the Harvard Graduate School of Design Lucy Suchman, professor of anthropology of science and technology in the Department of Sociology at Lancaster University, and co-director of Lancaster's Centre for Science Studies Sherry Turkle, Abby Rockefeller Mauzé Professor of the Social Studies of Science and Technology in the Program in Science, Technology, and Society at MIT and the founder and director of the MIT Initiative on Technology and Self Moderated by: Sheila Jasanoff, Pforzheimer Professor of Science & Technology Studies, Harvard Kennedy School Wednesday, March 11 5:00 - 7:00p Piper auditorium, Gund Hall 48 Quincy Street Harvard University How do the new forms of connectivity enabled by the internet affect flows of power in society? Does electronic communication create new forms of self-identification, new political sensibilities, or new avenues of empowerment? Or do old hierarchies get reinforced and familiar divisions, such as those between male and female or right and left, get more firmly entrenched through new routines? How do design choices affect relationships of power, for example, by selecting who should be connected to whom and across what sorts of spaces? Drawing on studies of teenagers and professional designers, cities and the blogosphere, this distinguished panel will lead us on a fascinating journey across today's changing public spheres. They will offer tantalizing glimpses into the democratic imaginations taking shape in cyberspace. This event is organized by the Program on Science, Technology, and Society, at the Harvard Kennedy School and co-sponsored by the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, the Graduate School of Design, and the Harvard University Center for the Environment. For more information on Science, Technology, and Society events at Harvard University, please visit: www.ksg.harvard.edu/sts/ This event is free and open to the public.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Stochastic Resonance vs decoherence assistance

by James D Whitfield

The recent perspective on using noise in nanoscale gates is reminiscent of the role of decoherence in some of the systems we study. Perhaps we might like to draw deeper parallels.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Matlab quantum computing toolkit

by Ville Bergholm

Dear All, I've been compiling a quantum computing toolkit for Matlab for some time now, and it's starting to get close to the point of usefulness. I'd appreciate it if those of you who use Matlab in your work would download it, try it out and give me some feedback. Comments on the overall design and usability are especially welcome. You can get it by checking out the latest revision from the SVN repository: https://secure3.svnrepository.com/s_aspuru/qi_toolkit The toolkit will be released as an open source project when it's mature enough (soon?), so if you'd like to contribute you are welcome to do so. Ville P.S. If the SVN client says you don't have the right to access the repository, let me know and I'll fix it. -- Ville Bergholm ville.bergholm(a)iki.fi http://iki.fi/ville.bergholm/ mobile +1-617-3869378

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [iic-colloquium] REMINDER: IIC Colloquium Wed -Alex Szalay, March 11, at 4:00 pm; From Galaxies to Sensor Networks: Science in an Exponential World

by Pavlos Protopapas

IIC Colloquium - From Galaxies to Sensor Networks: Science in an Exponential World March 11, 2009; 4:00pm 60 Oxford Street, Room 330 Alex Szalay, Alumni Centennial Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy, The Johns Hopkins University Abstract Scientific data are doubling in quantity every year. As a result, new paradigms are emerging in every area of modern science, and almost every aspect of the scientific method is undergoing fundamental change. This talk will discuss these challenges and new approaches for dealing with the enormous data sets of today and tomorrow, using examples from astrophysics and space science. The emergence of pervasive computing — small sensors everywhere – is already having an impact on not only how we do science but also our everyday lives. The engineering principles behind pervasive computing are also finding their ways into corporate data centers.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] faculty annual reports

by Anna B. Shin

Dear Group, Alan's activity report is due in mid-March. I need to compile a list of your awards, fellowships, invited or contributed talks/posters, etc. The easiest, most multi-purposeful way to do this would be for you to update your CVs and send to me. I can pull the information from there. Please send by Fri 6 March. Thanks very much, Anna
