[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] Group Meeting, Jan 26, 3:30 PM, Div Room

by Ian Kivlichan

Hi all, Tomorrow a visiting postdoc candidate, Yudong Cao (see past emails from Borja), will give group meeting at 3:30 PM in the Div Room. See below for the title and abstract. Also, group meeting will return to the Thursday 2:30 time slot starting next week, and will stay at that slot for the rest of the semester. All the best, Ian ------------------------------------- Speaker: Yudong Cao Title: Quantum algorithms and quantum complexity for quantum chemistry Abstract: Recent advances in quantum algorithms and quantum complexity theory could bring new possibilities in applications. Of particular interest is the quantum algorithm for solving linear systems of equations proposed by Harrow, Hassidim and Lloyd. I will talk about my past work with theorists and experimentalists on practical issues of realizing the algorithm, as well as some potential applications for quantum chemistry. On the quantum complexity end, my work is inspired by the observation that some of the tools developed by complexity theorists could be significantly improved and applied on practical adiabatic simulation of many-body quantum systems. I will present some results along this line of inquiry and also how it could be useful for quantum chemistry.

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] Group run.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear all, Given that many of us are runners, don't forget to bring your running clothes to the retreat. Jacob and I will be leading a pack of adventurers to run around the forest! Also, let's sign up for the department race!

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] What would you like to discuss at the retreat: anonymous survey

by Stéphanie Valleau

Dear all, I created a survey so we can write down ideas of topics / questions / issues about the group we would like to discuss during the retreat. Even if you can't make it, it would be great to have your comments. Your response is anonymous and we will divide these in subgroups for discussion. First link is for the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ZBK5S2H Second link to see all responses: https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-D7L6ZPWQ/ As an examples I've inserted "group meetings" so you can see how it works. Cheers, Stephanie

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] Fwd: Energy and Environment Secondary Field

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Alán Aspuru-Guzik | Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Harvard University | 12 Oxford Street, Room M113 | Cambridge, MA 02138 (617)-384-8188 | http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu | http://about.me/aspuru ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Clem, James <james_clem(a)harvard.edu> Date: Tue, Jan 26, 2016 at 4:34 PM Subject: Energy and Environment Secondary Field To: Cc: "Simms, Eric" <esimms(a)fas.harvard.edu>, "Maffeo, Lorraine M." < maffeo(a)fas.harvard.edu> Dear HUCE Faculty, As the new semester begins, and you start meeting with your students, I’m sending a quick reminder about the *Secondary Field in Energy and Environment* (E&E). Hosted by the Environmental Science and Public Policy concentration, in coordination with HUCE and our faculty community, the E&E secondary field offers undergrads the opportunity to learn about the interdisciplinary issues related to energy and environment while maintaining their focus in their home concentrations. Since its launch last year, the E&E secondary field has attracted a wide variety of students – with more than half of those enrolled coming from the social sciences and humanities. Students are required to take *four half-courses*: a foundational E&E course, with content related to both energy and environment, and then at least three additional upper-level courses divided between Social Sciences/Humanities and Natural Sciences/Engineering categories. More information can be found here: http://espp.fas.harvard.edu/energy-environment We ask current juniors to declare their intent by study card day this semester – that’s Friday, January 29th. I’ve attached a flyer to share with your students. Eric Simms, HUCE Educational Programs Manager (esimms(a)fas.harvard.edu <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__mailto-3Aesimms-40fas.h…>), is administering the program with ESPP and is available for questions --- he is returning to the office tomorrow (Wednesday) after a parental leave. Best, Jim James Clem, Ph.D. Managing Director Harvard University Center for the Environment t: 617-496-5458 f: 617-496-0425 clem(a)fas.harvard.edu
