Appointment will be made at an appropriate point on the scale for University Lecturers and will be for a probationary period of five years with appointment to the retiring age thereafter, subject to satisfactory performance. The appointments will further strengthen the Cavendish's international reputation for leading theoretical condensed matter physics research, which is interpreted in a very broad sense. Thus areas of interest include, but are not limited to, biophysics, ultra cold atom physics, correlated quantum systems, statistical and soft matter physics, electronic structure, novel electronic and optical materials. The successful candidates will be expected to contribute to teaching and other academic activities in the Cavendish. Informal enquiries about the posts may be addressed to any of the staff members in the Theory of Condensed Matter Group, Professors Michael Payne, Richard Needs, Nigel Cooper, Ben Simons and Mark Warner - see the further particulars and www.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk <http://www.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk%20> . Further information about the Department may be found at www.phy.cam.ac.uk <http://www.phy.cam.ac.uk>. Further details are available from Ms Leona Hope-Cole(lh294(a)cam.ac.uk), PA to the Head of Department, Professor James Stirling. Applications should be sent by email to the same address and should include a full curriculum vitae, list of publications, a statement (up to 6 pages) of research interests and future plans, the names and contact details of three academic referees, and a completed CHRIS/6 cover sheet, Parts 1 and 3 only, see: http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/hr/forms/chris6/, to be received no later than the 25 November 2011.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Asif Shakeel" <ashakeel(a)haverford.edu> Date: Oct 21, 2011 11:00 AM Subject: talk To: "Yuen, Joel" <joelyuen(a)fas.harvard.edu> Cc: "Peter Love" <plove(a)haverford.edu> Hi Joel, "The Hidden Subgroup Problem: an Introduction" Abstract: in this talk, we will introduce the topic using the first known example of a quantum algorithm: the Deutsch's problem. Then we will discuss the various aspects of it and try and capture the key ingredients, some problems of significance and problems associated with solving it in a general setting. The talk is accessible to anyone with a knowledge of basic linear algebra. best Asif _______________________________________________ Aspuru-meetings-list mailing list Aspuru-meetings-list(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu https://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/aspuru-meetings-list

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Prof. Jiali Gao's visit

by Roberto Olivares-Amaya

Hi, Prof. Gao is visiting from Minnesota on Thursday, as he will be giving the Theochem. seminar tomorrow (Wed,) at MIT. I assigned a 40 minutes time slot for him to talk to whoever is interested in the group (10:20-11:00). If there's lots of interest from the group, I can extend it to one hour. Similarly, if anyone is interested in a one-on-one meeting, I am happy to set it up. Thanks, Roberto Greater Boston Theoretical Chemistry Seminar Wednesday, October 19 4:00 p.m. MIT Room 4-231 Prof. Jiali Gao (Univ. of Minnesota) Dynamics and Mechanism of a Most Proficient Enzyme from QM/MM Simulations: Orotidine Monophosphate Decarboxylase. Abstract: Orotidine 5'-monophosphate decarboxylase (OMPDC) catalyzes the exchange of CO2 for a proton at the C6 position to form uridine 5'-monophosphate (UMP), with a rate acceleration of 21 orders of magnitude. The remarkable catalytic proficiency was analyzed using combined QM/MM simulations. In this talk, I will briefly describe computational methods developed for studying enzymatic reactions and proton-coupled electron transfer reactions, with an emphasis on multistate density functional theory. The computational results indicate that there is a direct coupling between the intrinsic dynamics of the protein, characterized by a hinge domain motion, with the reaction coordinate motion of the chemistry process. Both computation and experiments show that there is an upper limit that the transition state can be stabilized in the OMPDC catalyzed reaction, whereas the remaining effects are elucidated from structural and dynamics investigations.
