[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Walk MS - Asking for your support

by Ian Dunn

Dear Friends, Dollar by dollar, Walk MS is changing lives. That's why I registered for the Wakefield multiple sclerosis walk this Sunday and why I'm asking you to support my fundraising efforts with a tax-deductible donation. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is dedicated to creating a world free of MS, but they can't do it without our help. Any size donation would be VERY much appreciated! Simply click this link to visit my page and make a donation. If you prefer, you can send your contribution to the address listed below. Please let me know if you do! Walk MS National MS Society, Greater New England Chapter PO Box 845945 Boston, MA 02284-5945 In the memo section of the check, please include my name and the name of the fundraising event. Your donation supports critical funds to support cutting-edge research and programs and services for everyone impacted by MS. Ending MS means no one will receive an MS diagnosis again. Every step matters. Every dollar counts. Every person makes a difference. Please support me by making a donation! I greatly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on progress to my goal. Yours truly, Ian

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Fwd: [rchelp.rc.fas.harvard.edu #67100] nss2 data migration

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Can anybody tell me what are those 4 terabytes described below? Alan ---Sent from Boxer | http://getboxer.com Hi Professor Aspuru-Guzik, We are getting ready to decommission nss2, and are going over the files currently residing on the server. We found the following directory belonging to you: [root@nss2ha1 ~]# ls -lah /mnt/xfs_data_1/gpgpushare01/ total 8.0K drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 45 Oct 14 2009 . drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4.0K Dec 6 22:10 .. drwxrwxr-x 23 root aspuru-guzik_lab 4.0K Mar 20 2013 aspuru_lab drwxrwxr-x 7 root cdi 95 Dec 4 2009 cdi root@nss2ha1 gpgpushare01]# du -sh /mnt/xfs_data_1/gpgpushare01/ 4.3T /mnt/xfs_data_1/gpgpushare01/ We would like to know if this data been moved anywhere. If not, do you have a location where you would like it moved? If so, we will start migrated that data for you. Please get back to us at your earliest convenience, so we can begin the migration process. If your data has already been moved please let us know, and we will update our records.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] ITAMP topical lunch discussion: Friday, June 13 @ 12:00

by tony.lee＠cfa.harvard.edu

ITAMP Topical Lunch Discussion Date: FRIDAY, June 13 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*: Minghui Xu (JILA) *Title: *Superradiance and synchronization *Abstract: *Atoms interacting with a bad cavity leads to a collective dissipative coupling between them. By incoherently repumping, the atoms exhibit steady-state superradiance. We identify the phase synchronization of the atoms. As a result, we show that the interrogation time of Ramsey spectroscopy can be increased by many orders of magnitude. We also study the quantum synchronization of two ensembles of superradiant atoms, where a dynamical phase transition is identified. Lastly, I will talk about a new numerical method based on su(4) superoperators enabling an efficient simulation of quantum master equations.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] IMPORTANT: Group meeting attendance.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear group members, I noticed that many of you are not today at the GENERAL group meeting. I even met or saw a few of those missing today THIS MORNING in meetings. Attendance to group meetings is pretty much mandatory. You will learn about other subjects in the group and I want you to be present even if the subject is not your group's research subject.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Aspuru Group Meeting WEDNESDAY May 11th at 2:30 in Cabot Division Room

by Felipe Herrera Urbina

(* Please note the unusual day ) Dear group, Tomorrow Gian Giacomo will tell us about his work during group meeting. The talk will have two parts. Please see the title and abstract of his talk below. Cheers, Felipe --------- 1) Quantum computation beyond the adiabatic regime The efficiency of adiabatic quantum computation is determined by the size of the minimum spectral gap. When the gap is small, the change in the Hamiltonian have to occur slowly in order to satisfy the adiabatic condition. Here, we envision the quantum dynamics as a series of Landau-Zener passages that can be performed either in the adiabatic as well as diabatic regime. The aim (familiar to adiabatic quantum computation) is to end up in the ground state of the problem Hamiltonian. For large system sizes, we resort to the exponential reduction method to characterize in an efficient way the local gaps between the instantaneous eigenvalues. 2) Photonic adiabatic quantum computation and photonic Trotterization schemes I will discuss two intriguing ideas that are based on a new linear photonic setup in Englund's lab (MIT).
