[Aspuru-Guzik group list] ITAMP topical lunch discussion: Thursday June 20 @ 12:00

by Mikhail Lemeshko

Dear Friends, On Thursday, June 20, 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: Alexander D. Wissner-Gross Title: Does Cosmology Hint At How To Build Artificial Minds? Abstract: Recent advances in ﬁelds ranging from cosmology to computer science have hinted at a possible deep connection between intelligence and entropy maximization, but no formal physical relationship between them has yet been established. We recently explicitly proposed a ﬁrst step toward such a relationship in the form of a causal generalization of entropic forces that we found could cause two deﬁning behaviors of the human "cognitive niche" -- tool use and social cooperation -- to spontaneously emerge in simple physical systems. Our results suggest a potentially general thermodynamic model of adaptive behavior as a nonequilibrium process in open systems. 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

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Question For The Group

by Kai Trepte

Hi Everyone: Today the topic of scotch tastings came up while talking with Ryan. If there is interest, we each bring a bottle of scotch, or related beverage, and have a tasting at my house in Brookline the weekend of the 29th with unfinished bottles returning home with their owners. Please let me know if this is something that would be of interest. With Respect, Kai

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Martin Plenio today at 4.00 in Pfizer Hall.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear group members, Today we have Martin Plenio speaking at 4.00 PM in Pfizer about Quantum effects in biology. I am hosting so I expect the group to be there. It will be interesting to hear from the "competition". If you are meeting with him today , try to talk to him about work that you have *published* or submitted already and avoid discussing unpublished work.
