[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Aspuru-Guzik - Re-Cycle Bin Request (4 for M104)

by Marlon Cummings

Dear Michael: I wanted to ask if your office can provide 4 large recycle bins starting on Tuesday (for 2-3 weeks)? It is our hope to encourage the group members in that large office to start the clean-up process prior to the move. In addition, can the bins be replaced once they are full? I think you, *AAG group members, please utilize these bins. You will be responsible for your desk area. Please consult Thomas regarding old computers/monitors,keyboards, etc.* *For books with no owner, please consult Semion.* Best, Marlon. --------------- Marlon G.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [IACS-events] REMINDER: IACS Seminar on "Connectomics"------ TODAY, FRIDAY 2/13 @1pm

by Baker, Natasha

Date: Friday, February 13, 2015--- TODAY!! Location: Maxwell Dworkin G115, 33 Oxford Street, Cambridge MA 02138 Speakers: Ray Jones, IACS Lecturer Time: Lunch 12:30pm; talk 1:00pm Title: Connectomics: extracting neural connectivity from very large data sets Abstract: Connectomics is the study of neural connectivity. Using images from electron microscopes, we automatically identify nanometer-scale structures in microtomed brain tissue. We work with slices and images at a resolution where a cubic sample one millimeter on a side produces more than one petabyte of image data. To deal with such large datasets requires a mostly-automated approach. Our analysis pipeline uses computer vision, machine learning, and cluster computing to produce an initial version of the connectome within a sample. We then use a web-based proofreading and annotation tool to allow multiple simultaneous users to explore and correct the data within the volume. Free and open to the public. No registration required. *********************** UPCOMING SEMINARS 2/20 Delaney Granizo-Mackenzie and Rich Frank (Quantopian<https://www.quantopian.com/>) on "Free Software in Finance" 3/13 Alan Aspuru-Guzik<http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu/> (Harvard University) 3/27 Jeff Bilmes<http://www.ee.washington.edu/faculty/bilmes/> (University of Washington) 4/10 Budhendra Bhaduri<http://web.ornl.gov/sci/gist/staff_bios/staff_bhaduri.shtml> (Oak Ridge National Laboratory<http://www.ornl.gov/>--- Geographic Information Science and Technology) 4/24 Christian Rudder<http://www.okcupid.com/about> (OkCupid) Click here<https://lists.seas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/iacs-events> to subscribe to our events list. _______________________________________________ Iacs-events mailing list Iacs-events(a)seas.harvard.edu https://lists.seas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/iacs-events

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] AAG Lab Doors

by Marlon Cummings

Good morning, friends: This note is just a reminder of how important it is to keep the lab doors locked at all times. Yesterday during group meeting I observed a young man in the hall near room 104. And guess what, one of the doors were unlocked. It takes 5 seconds to run it and grab a laptop. Every time we exit please make sure the lock is engaged on all the doors. We are all adults, let's think about these simple things. Marlon. --------------- Marlon G.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [Aspuru-meetings-list] Group Meeting, 2/12, 2:30pm

by Jennifer Wei

Hi Everyone, This week, David will be giving us group meeting. Please see below for the title and abstract of his talk. Stay warm and dry out there. Jennifer -------------------------------------- Title: "The fundamental theorems of DFT and TDDFT". Abstract: Density Functional Theory and its time-dependent extension TDDFT are widely used methods in chemistry and many-body physics. Both DFT and TDDFT are "formally exact" theories, which means that there exist theorems which guarantee the existence and uniqueness of the density functionals that are approximated in actual calculations. In this talk, I will first review the existence and uniqueness theorems of DFT and TDDFT for electrons and nuclei, i.e. atoms, molecules and solids. Then i'll discuss how these theorems can be extended to other systems, including qubits in quantum computation. _______________________________________________ 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] ITAMP lunch seminar- Stefan Pabst, ITAMP (Friday 02/13)

by Richard Schmidt

Dear colleagues, this week the ITAMP's new postdoctoral fellow, Stefan Pabst, will introduce us to his research. Kind regards, Richard and Swati ITAMP Topical Lunch Discussion Date: Friday, February 13th 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: Stefan Pabst, ITAMP Title: Atomic Many-Body Physics in the Attosecond World Abstract: Ultrafast science is a young, vibrant, and highly interdisciplinary research field combining areas of biology, chemistry, and physics. Attosecond and strong-field physics focus on the electron motion in atoms, molecules, and solid state systems. In this talk, I discuss in more detail the importance of many-body processes in electronic motion as they appear in noble gas atoms when exposed to ultrashort and strong-field pulses. Furthermore, I explain the challenges and the perspectives of many-body theories in the strong-field regime. I show, in particular, how a time-dependent configuration interaction (TDCIS) approach can be applied to uniquely identify collective many-body effects in high-harmonic generation, and to discover an ultrafast decoherence mechanism that entangles the photoelectron with its parent ion within a few hundreds of attoseconds. --------------------------- Dr. Richard Schmidt Institute for Theoretical Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics (ITAMP) Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics MS-14 60 Garden St. Cambridge, MA 02138 U.S.A. richard.schmidt(a)cfa.harvard.edu Tel. +1 (617) 496-7610 Fax +1 (617) 496-7668
