TITLE: A particle and its pilot wave at macroscopic scale: the role of a path memory SPEAKER: Yves Couder (University of Paris Diderot -Paris7) ABSTRACT: The behavior of the fundamental objects of physics at quantum scale is dominated by the wave-particle duality. This characteristic is usually thought to have no equivalent in macroscopic physics where mass-like objects and waves are distinct entities. We have shown recently that a droplet bouncing on a vertically vibrated liquid interface can become dynamically coupled to the surface wave it excites. It thus becomes a self-propelled "walker", a symbiotic object formed by the droplet and its associated wave. Through several experiments, we address one central question. How can a continuous and spatially extended wave have a common dynamics with a localized and discrete droplet? We will show that when its wave is split (diffraction, interference, tunneling etc), one droplet has an apparently random response but that a deterministic behavior is statistically recovered when the experiment is repeated. The structure of the wave field is responsible for these properties as its interference structure contains what we have called a "path-memory". A remarkable effect of this memory is observed when the walker, submitted to a transverse force, has an orbiting motion. The measured orbit diameter, instead of varying continuously with the force can only take a discrete set of quantized values. The limits in which these results can be compared to those at quantum scale will be discussed. ************************************************************************ Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Mathematics Cambridge, MA 02139 For more information, please visit... http://math.mit.edu/pms/fall10/ _______________________________________________ qip mailing list qip(a)mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/qip

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [Iacs-events] Computational Science Lecture Oct. 14: "Information Visualization for Knowledge Discovery" with Ben Shneiderman

by Rosalind Reid

You are cordially invited to next week's Distinguished Lecture in Computational Science, to be given by Ben Shneiderman. ***************** Information Visualization for Knowledge Discovery Thursday, Oct. 14, 4:00 pm Room G-115, Maxwell Dworkin, 33 Oxford Street, Cambridge Ben Shneiderman Professor in the Department of Computer Science Founding Director, Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory University of Maryland Abstract Interactive information visualization tools provide researchers with remarkable capabilities to support discovery. These telescopes for high-dimensional data combine powerful statistical methods with user-controlled interfaces. Users can begin with an overview, zoom in on areas of interest, filter out unwanted items, and then click for details-on-demand. With careful design and efficient algorithms, the dynamic queries approach to data exploration can provide 100-millisecond updates even for million-record databases. This talk will start by reviewing the growing commercial success stories such as www.spotfire.com, www.smartmoney.com/marketmap and www.hivegroup.com. Then it will cover recent research progress for visual exploration of large time series data applied to financial, medical, and genomic data (www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/timesearcher ). These strategies of unifying statistics with visualization are applied to electronic health records (www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/lifelines2) and social network data (www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/socialaction and www.codeplex.com/nodexl). Demonstrations will be shown. Note: After the talk, Dr. Shneiderman will be happy to sign copies of his new book, Analyzing Social Media Networks with NodeXL (http://www.elsevier.com/wps/product/editors/723354; available online). About the Speaker Ben Shneiderman (http://www.cs.umd.edu/~ben) is a professor in the Department of Computer Science and Founding Director (1983-2000) of the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory (http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/) at the University of Maryland. He was elected as a Fellow of the Association for Computing (ACM) in 1997, a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2001, and a Member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2010. He received the ACM SIGCHI Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001. Ben is the co-author with Catherine Plaisant of _Designing the User Interface: Strategies for Effective Human-Computer Interaction_ (5th ed., 2010) http://www.awl.com/DTUI/. With Stu Card and Jock Mackinlay, he co-authored _Readings in Information Visualization: Using Vision to Think_ (1999). With Ben Bederson he co-authored _The Craft of Information Visualization_ (2003). His book _Leonardo’s Laptop_ appeared in October 2002 (MIT Press) and won the IEEE book award for Distinguished Literary Contribution. His latest book, with Derek Hansen and Marc Smith, is _Analyzing Social Media Networks with NodeXL_, published in September 2010. ********* The Distinguished Lectures in Computational Science are presented by the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences through the collaborative effort of the Computer Science faculty and the Institute for Applied Computational Science (http://iacs.seas.harvard.edu).

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Fwd: FW: CCB poster printing - updated info

by Anna B. Shin

Dear Group, The "free" MRSEC poster printer in the Weitz lab is not functioning. Poster printing can be ordered via Ken Toy below. Another "in-house" option is the MCB Imaging Center. Both these options require a 33-digit account string, which you must obtain from me before submitting your poster printing order. The account coding will depend on the topic you are presenting on, so don't assume the one you have now is the correct one without checking with me first. Thanks, Anna Anna B.

Jerry had sequestered this information on the computer/network page of the CCB website, so the info isn't terribly handy. We are pleased to announce that CCB has made long-term arrangements with UOS - Mail Communications to provide professional large format (aka: poster size) printing services to CCB. Orders may be sent via email to Ken Toy<mailto:ken_toy@harvard.edu> or placed on a compact disk and pick up arranged with Ken as necessary if large files need to be exchanged. Orders must be accompanied by a valid CCB 33-digit billing code to verify department affiliation, printing instructions, and your name/mailing address for the end product to be returned to you. This is important because we have negotiated a special deal to provide these services at no cost department-wide for teaching, research, and PI&E (conference, seminar) purposes. The market rate for this service is more than $10 per square foot. All jobs must be submitted in PDF format via email or compact disc, generally accomplished with Adobe Acrobat software which is available from the FAS software download pages at no cost for Windows and MacOS platforms. CCB Computer Services can help you with any aspect of the authoring or submission process if you need assistance. The following choices are available for printing stock: Enhanced Matte (a heavier, higher-quality uncoated paper) Premium Semi-matte (a satin coated finish, great for heavy coverage without the high shine) Posters can be printed up to 44" wide in either landscape or portrait format. Although there is no technical limit to length, 44"x48" or 44"x60" would be the largest practical order size. Please contact Ken Toy if you have special order requirements or questions about any other services that Mail Communications offers. The completed order will be delivered to you at your department address by Mail Communications or arrangements can be made to pick completed work up at 219 Western Avenue. For questions or concerns regarding large format printing, please contact Ken Toy: ken_toy(a)harvard.edu<mailto:ken_toy@harvard.edu> <mailto:ken_toy@harvard.edu> Cheryl K.

At the moment, I am overloaded with exciting projects and I am just about to manage them. We therefore look for a new colleage in our modeling team. The application round is very close to being finished and we have not found a good match so far. In case you know a motivated theoretical physicist to work on all kinds of modeling questions (Li batteries, Catalyst aging, white biotech, microbial enhanced oil recovery, just to name a few topics that the new colleague may work on), I would be more then grateful, if you could forward the attached application. In my eyes, this position is probably the most academic position one can find in industry and I can really recommend it to any good theoretical physicist who wants to work close to academia! If you find someone interested, he/she is more then welcome to contact me by mail or phone. greetings from Ludwigshafen, Germany, and I will write to you soon again, Alexander *Dr. Alexander Badinski* Research Scientist Scientific Modeling Phone: +49 621 60-94746, Mobile: +49 1743480690, Fax: +49 621 66-94746, E-Mail: alexander.badinski(a)basf.com Postal Address: BASF SE, GVC/S - B009, 67056 Ludwigshafen, Germany *BASF - The Chemical Company* BASF SE, Registered Office: 67056 Ludwigshafen, Germany Registration Court: Amtsgericht Ludwigshafen, Registration No.: HRB 6000 Chairman of the Supervisory Board: Juergen Strube Board of Executive Directors: Juergen Hambrecht, Chairman; Kurt Bock, Martin Brudermueller, Hans-Ulrich Engel, John Feldmann, Andreas Kreimeyer, Stefan Marcinowski, Harald Schwager Scientific Computing im Intranet: http://www.math.basf-ag.de

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] potosi

by Johannes Hachmann

Hi everybody, After a recent Ubuntu update, potosi has unfortunately become unstable. Roberto and I are thinking about copying /home to the 2TB drive we recently put in, then make a clean reinstall of the OS, and if the problems have been solved by this, copy things back. We just wanted to check back with you whether anyone has any objections (or better ideas). Please let us know asap.
