[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Harvard Bike Reimbursement

by Guerreschi, Gian

Friends, finally the spring is here! Perhaps you are not aware of the fact that Harvard gives an economical support to those who use the bike (as an everyday alternative car and public transportation). Read below: http://www.transportation.harvard.edu/commuterchoice/bike/bike-commuter-ben… Have a nice, riding Sunday! G

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Prof. Alain Aspect - HQOC/ITAMP Joint Quantum Sciences Seminar

by Hamilton, Joan

HQOC/ITAMP Joint Quantum Sciences Seminar Wednesday, May 7, 2014 4:00 PM, Jefferson 250 Prof. Alain Aspect, Institut d'Optique, Palaiseau Weak and Strong Localizations of Ultra-Cold Atoms: Breaking the Time Reversal Symmetry Anderson localization is one of the difficult problems of condensed matter physics that can be simulated with ultra-cold atoms. After recalling some results about 1D and 3D Anderson localization and Coherent Back Scattering (the effect responsible for weak localization), I will describe a new experiment showing how breaking time reversal symmetry affects localization. Nathalie de Leon, Postdoc, Lukin Lab Quantum Optics in the Solid State with Diamond Nanophotonics. Postdoc Presentation begins at 4:00 PM Refreshments are served from 4:10-4:30 PM Guest Presentation begins at 4:30 PM Joan Hamilton Faculty Assistant to Profs.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Proposal ideas in biology

by Dmitrij Rappoport

Dear all, As you have probably heard, Alan is interested in expanding the research in our group towards more biological questions. Right now, we are collecting proposal ideas that deal with broadly biological questions and could be funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). I would like to invite everyone to contribute interesting ideas that you think could be incorporated in a proposal to NIH. If you have brilliant ideas, please write to me, or if you prefer to Alan, with a short outline of the ideas by next Friday, May 9th. A few sentences for each idea should be enough for now. Thank you and a great weekend to everyone.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] ITAMP topical lunch discussion: Friday, May 2 @ 12:00

by tony.lee＠cfa.harvard.edu

ITAMP Topical Lunch Discussion Date: FRIDAY, May 2 Time: 12:00-1:30 pm 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*: Johannes Bauer (Harvard) *Title: *Realizing Kondo-correlated states and dynamic phase transitions with ultracold atoms *Abstract*: I will summarize our recent proposal of a novel realization of Kondo physics with ultracold atomic gases. It is based on a Fermi sea of two different hyperfine states of one atom species forming bound states with a different species, which is spatially confined in a trapping potential. I show that different situations displaying Kondo physics can be realized when Feshbach resonances between the species are tuned by a magnetic field and the trapping frequency is varied. In the second part, I will also discuss some ongoing work on dynamic phase transition. For a fermionic system with a weak coupling instability I will present a non-equilibrium calculations to investigate the dynamics after an interaction quench. I will show under which conditions unstable modes are generated from a prethermal state and when we can expect to observe transient ordered states.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Group meeting today at 2:30 pm in Cabot Division Room

by Felipe Herrera Urbina

Hi everyone, Today there will be no talk during our group meeting. We will still meet to have a general group discussion with Alan. If anybody wants to discuss their research with the group in an informal way, today is a good day for that. Best, Felipe Herrera
