[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Comments on paper

by Ivan Kassal

Dear group, Here's a draft of a long-overdue paper on calculating molecular properties and geometry optimization on a quantum computer (you may remember a group meeting on this about a year ago). I think it will go on the arxiv next week maybe, so I'm soliciting comments. If any of you care about this kind of stuff, I'd really appreciate any comments you might have or glaring errors you might have noticed. Thanks, Ivan

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Ben Lanyon's visit tomorrow

by Ivan Kassal

Dear group, Tomorrow we're being visited by Dr. Ben Lanyon, the optical quantum computer experimentalist(!) from Australia who has been collaborating with us on actually implementing some of our quantum algorithms. Ben will be giving the group meeting at 2 pm, which you should attend because it will be both interesting and mandatory. After that, he'll meet with Alan and then probably go to beer at 5. Therefore, if you'd like to meet with Ben, you should plan on doing so before lunch, which we'll probably go to around 12:30. In fact, because I suspect that there are quite a few people who could use a quantum computer, let me know tonight if you're interested in talking with Ben, so that we can make a loose schedule. Ben's website, http://physics.uq.edu.au/people/lanyon/BensPhysicsSite/Home.html, in addition to his cool papers, features photographic evidence for why you should live in Queensland and not Massachusetts. Ivan
