If you choose to participate, we will cover all travel costs. The application deadline is February 22. Cheers, Cathy From: Hochberger, Kerry [mailto:Kerry.Hochberger@science.doe.gov] Sent: Friday, January 29, 2016 12:04 PM To: Marc A Baldo baldo(a)mit.edu<mailto:baldo@mit.edu> Subject: EFRC – Women Student/Postdoc Poster Competition Dear EFRC Directors, We wanted to call your attention to an opportunity that might be of interest to the female students and postdocs in your center. As part of the 2016 Clean Energy Education & Empowerment (C3E) Women in Clean Energy Symposium, to be held at Stanford University this May, there will be a research poster competition open to women undergraduates, graduate students, and postdocs working on energy science. More information about the competition can be found below and on the attached flyer. The application deadline is February 22. This is optional, of course, but we encourage you to share the information with anyone in your EFRC who you think might be interested. Regards, Andy Student Presentation Opportunity at Stanford 2016 C3E Women in Clean Energy Symposium We invite students from all academic disciplines to bring their creativity to help shape the future of clean energy. C3E organizers are delighted to offer all young scholars an opportunity to showcase their work and experience in research, service, and/or education in the energy system. Undergraduates, graduate students and postdoctoral scholars may apply to compete in a research poster competition. Finalists will be invited to present in person at the symposium, a collaboration of the U.S. Department of Energy, MIT Energy Initiative, and the Precourt Institute. The top 5 most compelling posters and presenters will be awarded a stipend towards travel and accommodation costs for the meeting. International entrants are encouraged to apply. Please apply here: C3Eawards.org/StudentOpportunities<http://c3eawards.org/studentopportunities/> The C3E Symposium (May 31, 2016): The goal of the symposium is to provide women in clean energy with a range of perspectives, analysis, and data on clean energy challenges and opportunities. It also provides a unique forum for networking. It is our hope that it will help build a sustained national and international community of professionals dedicated to advancing the careers and goals of women in clean energy.

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] latex symbol lookup!!!!

by Joey Goodknight

http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html I just learned about this! You can draw LaTeX symbols and then it searches to find what the code is for the symbol that you drew. It'll even tell you which package you need to import. THIS IS SO COOL

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] Group Meeting, Feb 11, 2:30 PM, Div Room

by Ian Kivlichan

Hi all, Tomorrow Jhonathan will give group meeting in the usual time and place. The title and abstract are below - note that this is a practice GAC talk. Best, Ian ------------------------------------- Speaker: Jhonathan Romero-Fontalvo Title: Quantum variational approaches for quantum chemistry Abstract: In this presentation I summarize the results of my research on the application of the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) algorithm to the calculation of molecular energies. In the first part of the presentation, I review the digital implementation of VQE on a quantum computer using a unitary coupled cluster (UCC) ansatz and present new results on the use of the active space approximation to save quantum resources. In the second part, I present the last results of the experimental demonstrations of VQE in ion trapped and superconducting quantum computers for the hydrogen molecule. This presentation is intended to be a practice for my GAC meeting.
