[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Open House Poster Pictures

by Stéphanie Valleau

Dear group, Jarrod and I are planning the group's Open House poster and we will be needing your collaboration: Tomorrow and Wednesday, we will be going around the group taking pictures of you acting out your research! The best pictures will make it in the poster. It is useless to escape or oppose resistance, we will find you and take your picture :) See you tomorrow! Stephanie & Jarrod

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] mainz is up again

by Sangwoo Shim

Hello all, mainz is up again. However it might not work if your setup is not to use AppSocket protocol. That protocol is most reliable, fast, and available on most platform so I only enabled that one and closed other ports. So please change your setup appropriately! If it doesn't work as expected, please find me to help you. Also note that colors involving cyan might not look good. I will try to clean the printer head several times more but am pessimistic on that :-/ -S^2 -- Sangwoo Shim PhD candidate in Chemical Physics Harvard University 12 Oxford St #63, MA 02138, USA

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Possible syllabus

by Joel Yuen

Hi all, Eric Heller has shared the syllabus of his new Spring course. He changed his mind and will make it a formal course for credit although I'm sure he will welcome listeners. Here's the information. Who wants to take it with me? So that we can solve psets together just as in our first years of grad school when life was tough and we used to pull allnighters for the courses... lol Joel. ---------- Mensaje remitido ---------- De: "Heller, Eric" <heller(a)physics.harvard.edu> Fecha: 04/09/2011 06:54 Asunto: possible syllabus Para: "Yuen, Joel" <joelyuen(a)fas.harvard.edu> Joel There is a good chance that I will indeed teach "chem 245" in the spring, modulo a PChem faculty meeting to take place on Friday where we have to scope out our overall teaching plan, but everyone has been supportive. Tentatively, I said the following would be the content, but it can change according to suggestions. Please share this if you like, and any comments would be appreciated. Thanks for suggesting this; I am excited about it! Best Rick Chemistry 245: Classical, quantum, and semiclassical dynamics. Although quantum dynamics appears to be an independent and self-contained subject not requiring classical mechanics, the connections between classical and quantum dynamics are so intimate that huge opportunities for understanding, computation, and intuition are missed in the absence of an understanding of classical dynamics. Semiclassical methods have become so powerful that they often make possible accurate computations of quantum mechanical phenomena, complete with physical intuition for the result based on classical trajectories. The underpinnings of statistical mechanics depend upon dynamics, and the methods for treating nonequilibrium systems are critically dependent on dynamics. Debates rage about the importance of “quantum effects” in biology and condensed matter systems, yet the answers hinge upon how quantum mechanical systems become classical in their behavior. Purely classical Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations should be backed up with a firm knowledge of dynamics. Tentative list of topics: Classical dynamics, including canonical transformation theory, evolution in phase space, Lagrangian manifolds, ergodic theory, shadowing theorem, etc. Stability theory, resonance theory, KAM theorem, unstable and chaotic evolution. Feynman path integral, semiclassical propagator, semiclassical approximations, initial value representations. Coherent states and wave packet dynamics: exact and semiclassical techniques. Quantum tunneling and semiclassical approximations to tunneling. Quantum Chaos theory, underpinnings of statistical mechanics, random matrix theory, scarring of eigenfunctions. Semiclassical theory of decoherence. Semiclassical and time-dependent theories of spectroscopy. Structure of the course: It is proposed to meet twice a week for an hour and a half. The course would be graded, with the grade based primarily on homework and a project. The student would select a project in the second half of the term, and elect to present an oral or written presentation. The oral presentations would be reserved for special times, so as not to restrict the time available for the ambitious list of topics given above. No exams or finals.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] occupying eldorado queue

by Stéphanie Valleau

Hi all, I will be massively running short (~1h30min) jobs on Eldorado in the next couple of weeks. There should be no problems with the new queuing system but let me know if there are issues. Best, Stephanie

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [IACS-events] Seminar Friday, Sept. 9: Alexander Wissner-Gross (Hibernia/MIT Media Lab) on Planetary-Scale Computing

by Natasha Baker

Please join us for the first IACS Seminar. Speaker: Alexander Wissner-Gross Location: Pierce Hall 209, 29 Oxford Street, Cambridge Time: Informal lunch with speaker, 12:30 in *Cruft 403*. Talk, 1:00. Title: Planetary-Scale Computing Abstract: Recent advances in high-frequency financial trading have made light propagation delays between geographically separated exchanges relevant. In this seminar, I will show that there exist optimal locations from which to coordinate the statistical arbitrage of pairs of spacelike separated securities, and calculate a representative map of such locations on Earth. Furthermore, trading local securities along chains of such intermediate locations results in a novel econophysical effect in which the relativistic propagation of tradable information is effectively slowed or stopped by arbitrage. Implications for planetary-scale computing will be discussed. Bio: Alexander D. Wissner-Gross is a Research Affiliate at the MIT Media Laboratory. He has received 102 major distinctions, authored 14 publications, been granted 9 issued, pending, and provisional patents, and founded and advised 3 technology companies, 1 of which has been acquired. In 1998, he won the USA Computer Olympiad and represented the U.S. at the International Olympiad in Informatics. In 2003, he became the last person in MIT history to receive a triple major, with bachelor's in Physics, Electrical Science and Engineering, and Mathematics, while graduating first in his class from the MIT School of Engineering. In 2007, he completed his Ph.D. in Physics at Harvard, where his research on smart matter, pervasive computing, and machine learning was awarded the Hertz Doctoral Thesis Prize. Following his Ph.D., he was named a Ziff Fellow in Computer Science at Harvard University. His work has been featured in Technology Review, Business Week, Scientific American, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal.
