[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Sven Hoefling - Seminar and visit on Friday

by Hamilton, Joan

Hi all, This Friday, professor Sven Hoefling (University of Wurzburg and St-Andrews University) will be visiting us, and presenting a talk at the regular group meeting time slot (3 PM, Lyman 425). Sven is a former collaborator who was just appointed full professor at St-Andrews in Scotland. His expertise and interests are in III-V photonics, micro-and nanofabrication, and MBE growth. His recent work includes fully integrated nanophotonic circuits, realization of the first exciton-polariton laser diode, and nanophotonic and quantum optics experiments using quantum dots. An abstract is attached. Please let me know if you would like to meet with him - I'm organizing a schedule for him. (kristiaan.degreve(a)gmail.com) Cheers, Kristiaan.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [qip] Info

by Will Cunningham

Hi, I am a graduate student at Northeastern studying quantum networks in cosmology. I'd like to incorporate quantum information as well, and heard from a colleague (Ramis Movassagh) that I should contact MIT's group. Could you put me on the e-mail list and let me know a little bit about when/where group meetings are? I'd love to stop by and meet a few new people. Best, Will Cunningham _______________________________________________ qip mailing list qip(a)mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/qip

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [Aspuru-meetings-list] group meeting is back this Thursday!

by Ryan Babbush

Hi Everyone, Dr. Dmitrij Rappoport will be presenting the first group meeting of 2014 this Thursday at 2:30 pm in the Division Room. This is a practice job talk for Dmitrij so the idea is to learn about his research while also offering constructive feedback on the presentation to help him prepare for this important interview! Here is what Dmitrij is calling the talk: "Tackling the Molecular Property Challenge with Quantum Chemistry" This is a practice run for a job talk I am giving next week and will summarize some of my work on molecular properties. If you are interested in the topic or would like to offer comments, you are most welcome to come. -- 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-meetings-list mailing list Aspuru-meetings-list(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu https://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/aspuru-meetings-list

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joel Yuen <joelyuen(a)mit.edu> Date: Tue, Jan 7, 2014 at 12:37 PM Subject: Can you fwd this to the group please? and also add the events to the group calendar! Thanks To: Ryan Babbush <ryanbabbush(a)gmail.com> Dear Aspuru-Guzik group, First, let me congratulate everyone for the Happy New Year: Happy New Year! May this year bring you joy and success and love from the people you care about! Second, I need to ask the group a favor. I'll be going through faculty job interviews starting the end of next week and I'd like to rehearse my talks at least twice with you. I need to give 2 talks, a public talk, geared towards a general Physical Chemistry audience, and another one for the faculty search committee. Here are the times have Ryan has kindly booked for me in the Division Room, Thu Jan 9: 9:30 to 11 am - Public talk rehearsal Fri Jan 10: 4 to 5:30 pm - Research proposal rehearsal Mon Jan 13: 3 to 4:30 pm - Public talk rehearsal Tue Jan 14: 9 to 10:30 am - Research proposal rehearsal I'd appreciate it if you can join for all or some of the rehearsals. The first 2 will be my first attempt so they might take up 90 min once I receive comments from the attendees, and the last 2 should be more refined, so they might take just a little bit over an 1 hour each. Please let me know via the Doodle poll whether you can make it http://doodle.com/xaset8mqmfmzn94z{ If I'm not broke, I'll bring coffee-pastries or pizza. Many thanks! -- Joel Yuen-Zhou, PhD Center of Excitonics, Robert J.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] ITAMP topical lunch discussion: FRIDAY January 10 @ 12:00

by tony.lee＠cfa.harvard.edu

ITAMP Topical Lunch Discussion NOTE: All lunch discussions will be held on Friday from now on Date: FRIDAY, January 10 Time: 12:00-1:30 Pizza will be served. Location: B-106 @ Center for Astrophysics (60 Garden Street) Directions: after entering the lobby of the CfA, turn right to enter the hallway of the B building. In the hallway, turn right again, and B-106 is there. Speaker: Ulf Bissbort (MIT) Title: Emulating Solid-State Physics with a Hybrid System of Ultracold Ions and Atoms Abstract: A hybrid system composed of a crystal of trapped ions coupled to a cloud of ultracold fermions is proposed and discussed as an analog quantum simulator. The ions form a periodic lattice and induce a band structure in the atoms. This system combines the advantages of high ﬁdelity operations and detection offered by trapped ion systems with ultracold atomic systems. It also features close analogies to natural solid-state systems, as the atomic degrees of freedom couple to phonons of the ion lattice, thereby emulating a solid-state system. Starting from the microscopic many-body Hamiltonian,the low energy Hamiltonian, including the atomic band structure is derived. The atom-phonon coupling is found to be highly tunable, allowing for the realization of strongly correlated atom-phonon systems. Possible experimental implementations such as a Peierls-like transition into a period-doubled dimerized state are presented.
