[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Next week admin.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear group members, I need for both Anna and Peg to focus exclusively on a single item that is full priority. Therefore, delay your requests to them until June 7. Please do not ask them for any favor and wait unless it is absolutely essential. If you request anything to them, do it over e-mail and copy me. I want to make sure both of them are undisturbed. Also, if they ask you for any paperwork, it is your priority to provide it to them ASAP. Greetings, Alan 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

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Opportunity for TFing Chem160.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear group members, If any of you is up to TF'ing Chem160 with me let me know. I think all of you are done with teaching requirements, but if you wanted to do it for any reason (again for those that did it already, or for the first time) write to me. Otherwise, I will steach with another (random) student :) Best, Alan 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

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] No group meeting tomorrow

by Joel Yuen

Hi all, Announcement 1. I have morphed into Alejandro Perdomo to become the new group meeting master. If you want to delay your group meeting indefinitely, we can work something under the table, cash is accepted (Just kidding...). Announcement 2. No group meeting tomorrow since everyone is on holidays at MQM! Best, Joel.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [qip] Tuesday May 25

by Edward Farhi

Dear Quanta I am out of town but there will be a meeting tomorrow at 11. Shelby will be leading a discussion about an idea for a slightly better than polynomial quantum speedup on a promise NAND tree problem. The idea came from MIT undergrad Bohua Zhan. Sorry I will miss it.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] safety issue

by Anna B. Shin

Group, It has come to my attention that some of you may not be aware that you should alert Alan and me whenever you are away on travel or out due to illness. This way if something should happen, we will have this information to help in case of emergency. Thank you, Anna Anna B.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Reminder for group meeting tomorrow Friday. 2:30pm @ M102

by Alejandro Perdomo

Dear group, Tomorrow Peter Love is up. Please find the title and abstract below. ``An introduction to Lie algebras in quantum information (and a little quantum chemistry)’’ In this talk I will introduce Lie algebras, give some simple examples and describe how Lie theory can be useful in two areas in quantum information: producing short circuits that realize a given unitary matrix, and in understanding the IQP model of quantum computing in which all operations commute. I will also point out some connections of Lie theory to quantum chemistry, in particular to the algebra of excitation operators. Cheers, -A -- Alejandro Perdomo-Ortiz Ph.D. Candidate in Chemical Physics. Harvard University 12 Oxford St #482, Cambridge, MA, 02138. perdomo(a)fas.harvard.edu
