[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [Quantum Beer] Red Bones, Wednesday June 16th at 8pm

by Cesar A. Rodriguez-Rosario

Dear Quantum Scientists in the Boston Area: You are invited to Quantum Beer, Summer Edition, where Quantum Scientists from institutions all over the Boston Area socialize away from the blackboards. Calculations on napkins are permitted. Every Quantum Beer is at a different place. This time, we are going to Redbones. Quantum Beer Wednesday June 16th at 8pm Redbones BBQ <http://www.redbones.com/brews.html> (downstairs) 55 Chester Street Somerville, MA 02144<http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=redbones&mrt=al…> Redbones has a beer roulette, and good southern-style BBQ. We will be * downstairs*. Just ask for the "Quantum Something" group. The Quantum Beer email list keeps growing. If you know people that would be interested in getting the Quantum Beer announcements, send me their email. Salud! Cesar -- Cesar A. Rodriguez-Rosario, Postdoctoral Fellow Harvard University Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Box#34 12 Oxford St, Cambridge, MA, 02138, USA rodriguez(a)chemistry.harvard.edu

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [Aspuru-meetings-list] Group meeting by Sule tomorrow

by Joel Yuen

When: Friday, July 29 from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM Where: Mallinckrodt 217 What: Sule is up for group meeting: Title: "Modeling organic molecular semiconductors" Abstract: "Some conjugated organic molecules are semiconductors and can be used as the active materials in transistors, diodes, solar cells.. etc They are usually characterized with their mobility, on/off ratio and lifetime. We model charge transport in molecular semiconductors using Marcus electron transfer theory. In particular, I will talk about two important parameters, transfer integrals and reorganization energy, to theoretically characterize a few molecular crystals. We also demonstrate that based on this basic methodology theory can help finding new organic semiconductor materials " -- Joel Yuen-Zhou PhD candidate in Chemical Physics Harvard University CCB, 12 Oxford St. Mailbox 107, Cambridge, MA, USA. _______________________________________________ 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] TGIF Tomorrow

by Jarrod McClean

Hi All, So we are hosting TGIF tomorrow, which basically means that I was the one that placed the food/drink orders (paid for by the GPC), and that we have to set up tomorrow. If anyone is available for like 15-20 minutes tomorrow to help me move the kegs I would be super appreciative. Also, even if you don't normally come, or if you don't drink, this week we cheaped out a bit on the beers in order to get 15 feet of massive sub sandwich. More specifically 6 feet of Italian, 6 feet of vegetarian, and 3 feet of beef and cheese, so you should come early, eat lots of sandwich, and have fun! ~Jarrod

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Fwd: Reminder: Adv. in Chem. Phys.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Does any of the quantum computing folks wants to spearhead a review? We can reuse material from previous reviews, but of course we cannot write exactly the same one: How about one on simulation of thermal states? Perhaps to early, but one on TDDFT for computation? (assuming two of our articles are out), one on our new experiments? One on open systems and photosynthesis? Let me know if there are candidates. One on quantum process tomography? This is a prestigious outpost (Adv Chem Phys) and I am looking or any quantum-info related topic that one of you want to spearhead. Looking for proposals from you guys.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Change in PRL length guides

by Sergio Boixo

"..., in an effort to streamline the calculation of length, the APS journals will no longer use the printed page as the determining factor for length. Instead the journals will now use word counts (or word equivalents for tables, figures, and equations) to establish length;" http://prl.aps.org/edannounce/PhysRevLett.107.030001 Regards, Sergio

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [Aspuru-meetings-list] AMP Seminar Thursday July 28, Boundary layer and free tropospheric ozone spatio-temporal variability: UAH LIDAR measurements and model simulations, Michael J. Newchurch (UAH)

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) 2:00 PM Thursday July 28, 2011 Phillips Auditorium 60 Garden St., Cambridge, MA 02138 Boundary layer and free tropospheric ozone spatio-temporal variability: UAH LIDAR measurements and model simulations Michael J. Newchurch University of Alabama in Huntsville Tropospheric ozone DIALs have measured laminar structure in atmospheric ozone distributions in a variety of locations and campaigns. These ozone laminae result from stratospheric intrusions, residual layer transport, synoptic circulations, and other mechanisms. Strong STE events are well modeled by regional CTM calculations. Free-tropospheric and nocturnal boundary layer laminae are frequently not well represented in regional models. Using measured ozone as initial and boundary conditions significantly improves model representation of mean vertical distributions, but profiles with sufficient vertical resolution to identify typical 1-km thick laminae are generally unavailable because current (and likely future) satellite observations lack the ability to vertically resolve these ozone laminae at sufficient resolution to capture the physical structure present in the atmosphere. Analysis of ozonesonde measurements indicates that the vertical correlation length above surface ozone extends no higher than the PBL. Satellite observations of free troposphereic ozone above the PBL provide very little information about PBL ozone amounts. A proposed solution is to populate the GALION aerosol-lidar network with additional ozone lidars to characterize the continental spatio-temporal evolution of ozone laminae. This idea involves both hardware technology advances and data assimilation techniques ingesting both ground-based and space-borne observations. _______________________________________________ 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] M104 phone reservation

by Jacob Krich

Hi everyone in the big office. I wanted to let you know that I am planning to use the office phone from 3:30-4:30 tomorrow (Monday) and 2:30-4:30 on Tuesday. I will be moderating an APS webinar on applying to grad school (http://www.aps.org/careers/guidance/webinars/gradschool.cfm) and need the phone for audio connection. I hope this isn't a problem for anyone. Thanks, Jacob
