[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [Aspuru-meetings-list] AMP Seminar Thursday June 23, Astrophysical evidence for spatial variation of the fine structure constant and proposals of laboratory tests, Victor Flambaum (UNSW)

by James F. Babb

Please join us for an informal seminar sponsored by the Atomic and Molecular Physics Division, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. (Complete schedule at http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/amp/events.html) 12:30 PM Thursday June 23, 2011 Phillips Auditorium 60 Garden St., Cambridge, MA 02138 Astrophysical evidence for spatial variation of the fine structure constant and proposals of laboratory tests Prof. Victor Flambaum University of New South Wales Quasar spectra data indicate that the fine structure constant alpha vary in space. Results from different telescopes give the same direction and magnitude of the alpha gradient. There no contradictions with the results of different groups. We propose atomic clock experiments to test these results. The systems with enhanced effects (nuclear clocks, multiply charged ions, molecular clocks) are also proposed. _______________________________________________ Aspuru-meetings-list mailing list Aspuru-meetings-list(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu http://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/aspuru-meetings-list

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] QChem and solvation models

by Dr Jennifer Brookes

Hi all, I am sorry for the mass email, but I was wondering if anyone had some experience with QChem and the different salvation models? And if so maybe they have some time to talk with me this afternoon? With thanks, Jenny

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Theochem: Who wants to participate?

by Joel Yuen

Hi all, I'd like to encourage the members in the lab (especially the younger ones!) to participate in the Greater Boston Area Theoretical Chemistry series ( http://people.bu.edu/theochem/ ). The participating schools are Harvard, MIT, and BU, each of them hosting about 3 to 4 speakers per academic calendar. The duties of the students or postdocs who are willing to participate is to host the professors by make their meetings schedule, go with them to dinner and/or lunch, and eventually go to their talks. The time commitment is very little, especially if more students get involved. Also, you can suggest which speaker you want to invite. This Wednesday (June 22), we are supposed to meet the other students of MIT and BU at John Harvard's at 6 pm to suggest the list of speakers. Please feel free to stop by if you are interested in participating. Please let me know if you're interested in getting involved this year. Thanks, -- Joel Yuen-Zhou PhD candidate in Chemical Physics Harvard University CCB, 12 Oxford St. Mailbox 107, Cambridge, MA, USA.

Dear Quanta The D-Wave group is not coming tomorrow. Perhaps those of you who are around can meet anyway at 4:00 and we can check in with each other.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] (no subject)

by Stéphanie Valleau

Dear group, I will be occupying the eldorado queue quite a bit for the next 3/4 days for some jobs I have to run urgently. The jobs are short (they don't last more than 30min) and with the new queue-ing system there should be no problems for other people to run their jobs too. Sorry for the eventual trouble, Best, Stephanie

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Filter Diagonalization Method References

by Jacob Sanders

Dear Group, Since there was so much interest in Vladimir Mandelshtam's filter diagonalization method (FDM) at Jeffrey's presentation, I thought I would provide the references which I found to be the most pedagogically useful when I learned the subject for the first time. The most pedagogical reference is a Ph.D. thesis by Jianhan Chen, which I am attaching to this e-mail -- the basics of the method are covered in Chapter 2. A second useful reference is a review article written by Professor Mandelshtam, which I am attaching as well. Finally, more details and extensions of the method -- including examples in which the method has been successfully used -- can be found by looking at some of Professor Mandelshtam's papers, which are available on his website: http://www.chem.uci.edu/faculty/mandelsh/ Hope this is useful to everyone! Cheers, Jacob

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Fwd: [mpp-users] New extra-large-memory resource available

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

WHOAA. Dear group, Look at these LARGE MEMORY processors. This might be super useful for certain group applications (or lazy programmers) Alán Aspuru-Guzik | Associate 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 | http://about.me/aspuru ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: David Turner <dpturner(a)lbl.gov> Date: Thu, Jun 16, 2011 at 3:21 PM Subject: [mpp-users] New extra-large-memory resource available To: mpp-users(a)nersc.gov Dear NERSC User, NERSC has recently installed and tested a unique resource for users who require more memory than is currently provided by our other computational systems. We have deployed a single node in the Carver/Magellan complex with the following characteristics: * 4 8-core Intel Xeon X7550 (Nehalem EX) 2.0GHz processors * 1TB DDR3 memory * Same software environment as Carver login nodes Access to this 32-core node is via the "mag_xlmem" batch queue on Carver. Note that this queue allows batch jobs to share the node, rather than have exclusive access. Jobs must have the following characteristics to use this queue: * No more than 8 cores (ppn=8) * Memory size *must* be specified; no less than 4GB per core, and no more than 800GB per job * No more than 48 hours walltime Users are limited to 2 jobs running in this queue. The above limits will probably be adjusted depending on user feedback. For more information on submitting jobs to this new resource, please see: https://www.nersc.gov/users/computational-systems/carver/running-jobs/memor… Carver batch queue limits and policies are documented here: https://www.nersc.gov/users/computational-systems/carver/running-jobs/queue… -- Best regards, David Turner User Services Group email: dpturner(a)lbl.gov NERSC Division phone: (510) 486-4027 Lawrence Berkeley Lab fax: (510) 486-4316 _______________________________________________ mpp-users mailing list mpp-users(a)nersc.gov
