[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] Excitonics subgroup meeting postponed !

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear all, A scheduling mess up overlapped two sub group meetings :( Let's delay excitonics meeting an schedule ASAP. It ended up being scheduled at the same time as ML subgroup meeting :( Excitonics people: i Need slides from you ASAP for a report for group activities over the last year for center for excitonics!! This is due on Thursday so send me your sloes by tomorrow at 4 PM. Prepare a coherent story of your research in 5-10 slides Alan -- 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

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] Excitonics subgroup 2pm, War Room

by Joey Goodknight

Much like Sharks v Jets, Excitonics is going up against Machine learning today [image: pasted2] So don't be square and go learn about "machine learning", and get a "marketable skill": come to excitoncis subgroup and learn about "plants" instead! -Joey

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] [qip] Special Seminar: June 1, 2016 -- Prof. Terrence Rudolph, Imperial College, London

by Janice L Balzer

Special Seminar Quantum Coins - a provable advantage for quantum randomness processing Wednesday, June 1, 2016 11:00 AM Haus Room, 36-428 Professor Terrence Rudolph Imperial College, London Seminar Sponsored by the MIT-Imperial College London Seed Fund | MISTI Abstract: Although we strongly believe that quantum computers will be more powerful than their classical counterparts, proving this is out of reach of current techniques. For communication tasks (eg cryptographic key distribution) there is a provable quantum advantage. In this talk I will discuss a new task for which we can prove a quantum advantage, a task much closer to computation than communication. This task revolves around determining what randomness can you produce given access to a coin with an unknown bias. I will discuss how quantum coins with unknown bias can generate randomness that is impossible to generate with classical coins, and then give an overview of why we believe this can be a route to finding new quantum algorithms. _______________________________________________ qip mailing list qip(a)mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/qip
