[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Quantum computing slides for Theochem and Presentation for Google

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear quantum computing subgroup, I am giving two quantum computing talks in the upcoming two weeks: First: This Wednesday, I give a talk on quantum computing at the Theochem seminar. If you have any updated slides that you have not sent me, please do so as I am collating a new talk. Thank you! Second: I am also giving remotely the Google Group Meeting next Thursday at 2.00 PM. Therefore our group meeting time will change a week from Thursday. There will be three proposals to Google, including the Variational Quantum Eigensolver, the Trotter simulation of Chemistry and the quantum dynamics simulation. Please coordinate with Ryan to a) unify the slide themes, b) make at top 10 minute presentation per proposal and c) give them to me by Tuesday so I can review them and ask you questions.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Practice talk

by Sawaya, Nicolas

Hi friends, I'm attaching a link to a screencast of my talk. The feedback from Thursday was immensely helpful--thank you so much again! If any of you have time, I would appreciate your thoughts on the re-work. No worries if not. There are still some changes that I'm going to make. https://www.dropbox.com/s/eiorcjg7p24oy8l/sawaya%20practice%20talk.mov?dl=0 Cheers, Nico

Re: [Aspuru-Guzik group list] Experimental equivalent of molecular library generator

by Adrian Jinich

Yes! a cool project would be to build a freaking computational library using their same MIDA boronates!

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Another computational chemistry driver to be aware of

by Martin Blood-Forsythe

Dear colleagues, For those of you with interest in running calculations using wrappers from languages like ruby and python, or in benchmarking methods, I just ran into a package called Cuby that has some great interfaces to existing benchmark sets (S66 etc etc). http://cuby4.molecular.cz/index.html I just got the benchmark datasets from Jan Řezáč, and can ask him for a beta release of the code if anyone is interested. The public release of the code is coming later this year. Best wishes, -Martin

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [qip] Seminar - Richard Cleve (next Friday)

by Cyril Stark

Dear All, Next week Richard Cleve (IQC) from is visiting us. He will be here on Thursday and Friday, i.e., March 19 and 20. Please let me know before Sunday evening if you would like to meet him while he is here. I will put together a schedule on Monday morning. We are delighted that Richard agreed to give the qip seminar. Please find title and abstract below. Best wishes, cyril — Title: Near-linear constructions of exact unitary 2-designs Place: 6C-442 Time: 1:30 (March 20) Abstract: We present exact unitary 2-designs on n qubits that can be implemented with Õ(n) elementary gates from the Clifford group. This is essentially a quadratic improvement over all previous constructions that are exact or approximate (for sufficiently strong approximations). This is joint work with Debbie Leung, Li Liu, and Chunhao Wang. _______________________________________________ qip mailing list qip(a)mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/qip
