[Aspuru-Guzik group list] vist Tobias Kramer: Nov. 15 to Nov. 28

by Christoph Kreisbeck

Dear Group, Tobias Kramer is visiting the Heller Group, and will be around from Nov. 15th to Nov. 28th. Tobias is an expert in various research fields such as modelling energy transfer in light-harvesting complexes, theory of the quantum hall effect, interacting electrons ... to name only a few of his many research interests (see also his blog http://quantumdynamics.wordpress.com/) In case you are interested in meeting him for discussions, just let me now and I will arrange an appointment. Best Christoph

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Luis Echegoyen

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear group members, If you are ACS members, you can still request an e-ballot and vote (It took me 10 minutes today). I am campaigning for Luis Echegoyen (UTEP), who happens to now be one of our collaborators. Please, if you have not voted, go vote for whoever you want, but I endorse Luis. I would love if you take the time to vote anyways. Best, Alan 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

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Practice Jobtalk.

by John Parkhill

Group- I would be ever-so grateful if you could join me for a practice job-talk Thursday in M213 from 4-(???). Your mission would be to emulate the audience of a general chemistry colloquium at BU and make constructive suggestions. Keep in mind, if I get this job, my coveted M-111 desk will be available in July. Pizza will be there, although the room (the best I could book) can only hold 9 people comfortably. Best - John

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] ITAMP topical lunch discussion: Thursday November 15 @ 12:00

by Mikhail Lemeshko

Dear Friends, On Thursday, November 15, there will be an ITAMP topical lunch discussion. Tea Room (P-226) @ CfA (60 Garden Street) Time: 12:00-1:30 As always pizza will be served. Speaker: Tony Lee Title: Quantum-classical transition of synchronization of two coupled cavities Abstract: Synchronization is a phenomenon that appears throughout physics, biology, and chemistry. There has been much work on how synchronization arises in the classical regime. Motivated by current interest in quantum dissipative systems, we investigate whether synchronization can exist in the quantum regime. We consider a pair of cavities with second harmonic generation. In the classical limit, each cavity has a limit cycle solution, in which the photon number oscillates periodically in time. Coupling between the cavities leads to synchronization of the limit cycles. We follow what happens to the synchronization as the system becomes more quantum, by decreasing the photon number. We find that temporal correlations between the cavities survive deep in the quantum limit despite substantial quantum noise, because classical correlations are replaced by quantum correlations. Our results can be extended to a wide variety of quantum models. T. E. Lee and M. C.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Talk on Wednesday.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear Group members, I will be giving a reprise (updated) version of the tenure talk on the HQOC/ITAMP joint seminar this Wednesday. Feel free to come, or to skip if you think you already heard the same talk. http://hqoc.harvard.edu/seminars/ Best, Alan 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

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] hack for multiple instances of dropbox

by Stéphanie Valleau

Hi everyone, For those of you who want to keep two separate dropbox accounts (e.g your previous dropbox and the new teams dropbox) on you pc, there is a way to hack it. I have tried it on my computer (debian) and it seems to be working fine / no bugs for now, so I thought I'd pass on the link. http://www.dropboxwiki.com/Forums_FAQ/Running_Multiple_Instances_Of_Dropbox… Enjoy, Stephanie
