---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *OISE East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes* <eapsi(a)nsf.gov> Date: Friday, October 9, 2015 Subject: NSF EAPSI Program for U.S. Graduate Students in Science and Engineering: *November 12, 2015* proposal submission deadline To: OISE East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes <eapsi(a)nsf.gov> Dear Colleagues: Please feel free to share this resource for graduate students on your website and/or via your list-serves. We look forward to receiving proposals from your graduate students. The National Science Foundation (NSF) East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes (EAPSI) Fellowship Program provides U.S. graduate students in science and engineering with an opportunity to spend 8 weeks (10 weeks for Japan) during the summer conducting research at one of the seven host locations in East Asia and Pacific: Australia, China, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore, and Taiwan. The program is a collaboration between NSF and counterpart agencies in each host location. EAPSI is open to graduate students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents and are enrolled in a research-oriented Masters or Ph.D. program in science or engineering. Applicants must propose a research project in a field of science, engineering or STEM education supported by NSF, including Engineering; Computer and Information Science and Engineering; Mathematical and Physical Sciences (Mathematics, Physics, Astronomy, Chemistry, Materials Science); Biological Sciences; Geosciences; Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences; Education (STEM); and Multidisciplinary Research in these fields. Applicants identify and contact host researchers on their own, prior to submitting their EAPSI proposal; lists of prospective host institutions are available at the end of each Handbook. NSF provides EAPSI Fellows with a $5,000 stipend and roundtrip airplane ticket to the host location. Our foreign counterparts provide in-country living expenses and accommodations (arrangements vary by host location).

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] October 14, 2015-Tom Killian-HQOC/ITAMP Joint Quantum Sciences Seminar

by Ploucha, Clare Dolores

HQOC/ITAMP Joint Quantum Sciences Seminar Wednesday, October 14 , 2015 4:00 PM, Jefferson 250 Prof. Tom Killian, Rice University Ultralong-range Molecules and Autler-Townes Spectroscopy in Strontium Ultracold Rydberg Gases Alkaline-earth metal atoms are attracting increased attention for studies of ultracold Rydberg gases because of new opportunities created by strong core transitions accessible with visible light and the presence of excited triplet states. Core transitions can be used for flexible optical trapping and optical imaging of Rydberg atoms, and triplet levels appear promising for creating stronger optical coupling of ground and Rydberg levels with reduced light scattering. Compared to an alkali metal atom, the existence of both singlet and triplet Rydberg levels creates additional choices of configurations of excited states and associated Rydberg-Rydberg interactions. We have created and characterized ultralong-range Sr2 molecules formed from one ground-state 5s2 1S0 atom and one atom in a 5sns 3S1 Rydberg state for n ranging between 29 and 36. Molecules are created in a trapped ultracold atomic gas using two-photon excitation, near resonance with the 5s5p 3P1 intermediate state. Recent measurements of the lifetimes of Rydberg atoms and molecules in dense gases of ground state atoms indicate longer lifetimes for strontium compared to rubidium. We have also studied Autler-Townes spectra in the 5s2 1S0-5s5p 3P1-5sns 3S1 ladder system. Well-resolved doublets are visible in the atom-loss signal when a strong 320 nm pump laser on resonance with the 5s5p3P1-5sns 3S1 transition and a weak 689 nm probe laser near resonance with the 5s2 1S0-5s5p 3P1 are applied. This coherent spectroscopy is very sensitive to Rydberg-Rydberg interactions and reveals effects of underlying spatial correlations between atoms from the Rydberg blockade. Atom loss also shows signatures of an optical bistability.

We could have you guys go in a shared car rental and share hotel rooms so it is not too expensive.

The purpose of this conference is to bring together experts in the broader field of quantum computing, and exchange not just our thoughts about the current status of various quantum technologies but also emphasize the tremendous challenges ahead. Our hope is to increase awareness of the tasks ahead of us for building a practical quantum computer, and identify potential technical focus areas in common across several quantum computing platforms with emphasis on superconducting qubits. In addition to presentations from leaders in the broader quantum information and computing community, there will be an industry panel to highlight the needs and thoughts from a different perspective for this developing technology. You or any of your team you may bring along are also encouraged to present a poster which will be part of a number of poster sessions throughout the conference.
