[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [Aspuru-meetings-list] Group Meeting, 1/28, 2:30pm, Div. Room

by Jennifer Wei

Hi Everyone, Hopefully everyone got through the blizzard yesterday safely and warmly. This week, Peter will be giving us group meeting. Please see below for his title and abstract of his talk. Thanks, Jennifer ------------------------------------------------------ What can quantum complexity theory tell us about quantum simulation? In this talk I will describe some results of quantum complexity theory that are relevant to the project of simulating physical systems on quantum computers. I will then interrogate the relevance of these results to the electronic structure problem. _______________________________________________ Aspuru-meetings-list mailing list Aspuru-meetings-list(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu https://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/aspuru-meetings-list

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Acknowledging Research Computing and Odyssey in *all* papers that use it.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear all, In the *acknowledgements* section of all our papers, don't forget to acknowledge Harvard Research Computing for the use of the Odyssey cluster. It is very important as this is the way RC gets more resources to be able to help us. I copy James Cuff, their director who just noticed that one of our papers that uses their facility (and also a Intel Phi card they gave us) does not acknowledge them. I will be vigilant but please make sure you do this in all the papers we submit that use Odyssey from now on. PS. Nico: Can you add this to the group wiki finding the appropriate language? Maybe James (copied) can send us the language he prefers in the papers.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Fwd: AM111

by Welch, Jonathan

Applied Math is looking for a TA in a matlab/scientific computing class (AM111). If you are interesting you can contact Thomas Fai (tfai(a)seas.harvard.edu<mailto:tfai@seas.harvard.edu>). His description of the class and TA duties are below. Hope everyone stays warm and safe during the storm! Kind Regards, Jon Begin forwarded message: From: "Fai, Thomas" <tfai(a)seas.harvard.edu<mailto:tfai@seas.harvard.edu>> To: "jwelch(a)fas.harvard.edu<mailto:jwelch@fas.harvard.edu>" <jwelch(a)fas.harvard.edu<mailto:jwelch@fas.harvard.edu>> Subject: RE: Re: Date: January 26, 2015 at 5:52:25 PM EST Hi Jonathan, Just to follow up on Nitin's email--I'm not sure if you have took AM111 or have experience with Matlab/scientific computing from elsewhere, but if so (or if you're interested in learning) I know you did a good job with Nitin's class so I wanted to reach out to you. Currently, I'm planning on dividing the course roughly into four sections: numerical linear algebra, numerical methods for ODE, PDE, and Monte Carlo techniques. The students will also do an open-ended final project. The main responsibilities of the TA will be grading homework and holding office hours. I know you are toward the end of your studies and there may be weeks where you won't have as much time as usual. I will be do my best to be flexible and make our schedules work. Please let me know if you may be interested in this possibility, and feel free to contact me with any questions. Best, Thomas Fai ________________________________________ From: Upadhyaya, Nitin Sent: Monday, January 26, 2015 5:46 PM To: Jonathan Welch Cc: Fai, Thomas Subject: Re: Hi Jonathan, Hope you are doing well. Thomas Fai whom you have met (we share our office), is urgently looking for a teaching fellow for his course on Scientific computation and was wondering if you would be available or if you know someone who might be. If possible, kindly contact Thomas, who email address is included. thanks.
