[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Has anyone seen the book titled 'Monte Carlo Methods in Chemical Physics?'

by Sangwoo Shim

Hello all, Has anyone seen the book named 'Monte Carlo Methods in Chemical Physics' around? It's a brown hardcovered book. I'm pretty sure I returned this book to Cabot library, but the system says I didn't... I'm asking just in case. Best, Sangwoo -- Sangwoo Shim PhD student in Chemical Physics Harvard University 12 Oxford St #63, MA 02138, USA

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] REMINDER: Excitonics Seminar - Professor Ian Mercer - September 29

by rtavilla＠rle.mit.edu

Center for Excitonics Seminar Series Announcement The Center for Excitonics (http://www.rle.mit.edu/excitonics) invites you to join us at the first seminar of the Fall 2009 series. Please forward this information on to others who might be interested in attending this seminar. Title: Quantum Dimension of Photosynthesis Revealed by Angular Resolved Coherent Imaging Presenter: Professor Ian Mercer Organization: Department of Physics, University College Dublin Date: September 29, 2009 Time: 3:00 - 4:00pm Place: 36-428 Refreshments: Yes URL: http://www.rle.mit.edu/excitonics/mercer-092909.html abstract Understanding the role of coherent electronic motion is expected to resolve general questions of importance in macromolecular energy transfer, in nature and in devices. Significant progress has been made using coherent optical four wave-mixing, however the interpretation of measurements is difficult in particular where multiple quantum transitions are strongly coupled, and new methods are required for an improved feedback to molecular simulation. We will look at a novel laser method, Angle-Resolved Coherent (ARC) imaging, that separates quantum coherences from energy transfers in to orthogonal dimensions, in an instantaneous two-dimensional mapping. The power of the new method is demonstrated with the light harvesting complex II (LH2) of purple bacteria. We reveal an evolving quantum coherence with a time-ordered matter-selection of transition energies at ambient temperature. We also reveal a coherent component to the energy transfer between macromolecular rings and a correlation between excitation and emission energies within a ring at ambient temperature. bio Ian Mercer is currently lecturing in Physics at University College Dublin in Ireland. He has previous experience as a laser company CTO (UK), a lecturer in Chemistry at Imperial College (UK) and a PI and Team Leader at LLNL (US). His has interests in combining new laser methods, laser technology and molecular-optical simulation for revealing biomolecular and electronic device function. energies within a ring at ambient temperature.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Fred Manby visit tomorrow.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear group, Fred Manby will be visiting the lab tomorrow. I will be talking to him at 10 AM, and then subsequently have him talk to anybody interested (maybe in the area outside my office) from 11-12. The official hosts will be Dmitrij and Mark. If a subset of you is interested in having lunch with him, there will be some sort of lunch at MIT for him and you guys, leaving immediately after the meeting with you, which should end sometime 11.45 to give time to subway to MIT.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Dropbox.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear group members, If you are going to use dropbox to share files with me or others, and you have not signed up, use the link below, and you get an extra 250 MB and so do I for each one of you that ends up signing up. FYI, I am using it to sync documents amongst 3 computers and share some files with MIT and the CDI people. It seems to be working well. https://www.getdropbox.com/referrals/NTE4NTQ4OTA5 Alán Aspuru-Guzik | Assistant Professor Harvard University | Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology 12 Oxford Street, Room M113 | Cambridge, MA 02138 (617)-384-8188 | http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu
