[Aspuru-Guzik group list] group meeting this Friday: Kai Trepte

by Ryan Babbush

Hi Everyone, We had a last minute cancellation in the normal group meeting schedule so this week our newest group member, Kai Trepte, is going to talk with us about his role in the group. This will be at the usual time and place, 3:00pm in the Division Room. Kai's abstract is included below. ================ One thing that I notice about Theoretical/Quantum Chemists is that they are good, but reluctant programmers. In my short time here I have seen very solid development work, but have heard a the refrain, "we are not programmers" on several occasions. I am a trained programmer (you will hear the refrain "I am not a quantum chemist") which has been invaluable throughout my career. With your help I hope to support the group and develop tools that will decrease the programming load many of you face. It is my hope that we will be able to use this session to exchange information and brainstorm about programs/applications that can be created to benefit the group so that you don't need to be such expert programmers. I look forward to meeting everyone on Friday. -- Ryan Babbush | PhD Student in Physics (949) 331-3943 | babbush(a)fas.harvard.edu Harvard University | Aspuru-Guzik Group 12 Oxford Street | Cambridge, MA 02138

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] ITAMP topical lunch discussion: Thursday April 11 @ 12:00

by Mikhail Lemeshko

* Dear Friends, On Thursday, April 11, 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: Steven Bennett Title: Phonon-induced spin-spin interactions and spin squeezing in diamond nanostructures Abstract: While single nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers exhibit long spin coherence times, an outstanding challenge is the realization of controlled interactions between several NV spins needed for quantum gates or quantum-enhanced sensing. In this talk I will discuss a novel mechanism for long-range spin-spin interactions in diamond nanostructures, mediated by the strain-induced coupling of NV spins to the vibrational mode of a diamond mechanical nanoresonator. The resulting phonon-mediated effective spin-spin interactions can be used to generate spin squeezed states of an ensemble. I will discuss our approach combining spin echo and coherent mechanical driving to suppress spin dephasing and relaxation, and show that significant spin squeezing should be possible in experiment. Looking forward to seeing you there, Misha Lemeshko* -- Dr. Mikhail Lemeshko Institute for Theoretical Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics (ITAMP) Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics MS-14 60 Garden St. Cambridge, MA 02138 U.S.A. mlemeshko(a)cfa.harvard.edu http://sites.google.com/site/mishalemeshko/ Tel. +1 (617) 496-7610 Fax +1 (617) 496-7668
