[Aspuru-Guzik group list] gpgpu_cdi correct usage

by Roberto Olivares-Amaya

Hello: We are currently finishing some GPU-related runs and the only place we can do them is through the gpgpu_cdi queue, which should be a queue for benchmarking GPU calculations. However, in the recent month it has been full with non-GPU related runs. Pleasedo not run CPU-only calculations there. There are other queues, such as the ones from odyssey, nnin (Mike would be glad to add you as an nnin user), lsdiv (which is our own private one) that are more proper for such runs. In fact, the nnin queue gives you the highest priority of all. If you have pending runs on gpgpu_cdi, please send them again to the other cluster. Please let me know if you need help signing up to the queues related above. Sorry if this e-mail does not apply to you, but this is the only way to reach everyone in the group. Roberto

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Talk 8/26: Electron transport and spin qubit experiments on single-donor silicon devices

by James D Whitfield

Name: Dr. Tech. Mikko Möttönen Affiliation: Helsinki University of Technology and University of New South Wales Title: Electron transport and spin qubit experiments on single-donor silicon devices Abstract: I will present the most recent results on the phosphorus donor devices at the Centre for Quantum Computer Technology at University of New South Wales. Namely, I discuss electron transport experiments through a single phosphorus donor in silicon and show the Zeemann splitting of the neutral donor state. Furthermore, I show that the previously anomalous features in the stability diagrams are due to inhomogeneous density of states in the reservoirs. Finally, I present very recent results on the single-shot measurement of a single donor electron spin and the lifetime of the spin excited state in a qubit device. Location: M102, The Division room, Mallinckrodt laboratory Time: Wednesday Aug 26, 2009 at 2:30

We would appreciate if you could forward this message to anyone who might be interested. Thank you, Miguel Marques, Fernando Nogueira, Angel Rubio, and E.K.U. Gross P.S: Our apologies if you have received multiple copies of this announcement. ************************************************************************** ********************** FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT *************************** ********************** *************************** ********************** Deadline 15/9/2009 *************************** ************************************************************************** 4th "Time-Dependent Density-Functional Theory: Prospects and Applications" January 2-15th 2010 Benasque Center for Physics, Spain All persons who wish to participate should fill out the application form at http://benasque.org/2009tddft/ In the comments section, please indicate if you wish to participate in the Summer Summer School or in the Workshop (or in both). For participants coming from the USA, please check the following address for support: http://www.mcc.uiuc.edu/travel/ School only: As we have a very limited number of places for the school, students will be selected from among an open pool of applicants who have demonstrated a strong interest in computational sciences, applied to chemistry, physics, materials science and biology. Therefore, in order that we can make a reasonable selection, we ask that *all* candidates include in the comments section the following information: *) Date of birth, gender *) Motivation/Why they want to come (just a couple of lines is enough) *) What is their current and previous positions (if PhD or Post- doc state your supervisor). We will *not* accept applications that do not include this information. Furthermore, we will give priority to students willing to participate in both the Summer School and the Workshop. We also have a certain number of grants available that cover traveling and part of the stay in Benasque. If you want to apply for a grant, please indicate explicitly that you wish to be supported in the comments section, and explain why (just a couple of lines is enough).

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Book on Phonons

by Semion Saikin

Guys, I am looking for my book: "*Phonons in Perfect Lattices and in Lattices with Point Imperfections*, edited by R. W. H. Stevenson. It is an old (1966) dark-brown book with a hard cover, approx. 400 pages. Could you please check if it is in your library? Thanks, Semion -- ******************************************** Semion K.
