[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] [qip] meeting time

by Aram Harrow

Dear quanta, Many of you are taking Barak + Parrilo's SOS class which conflicts with our normal 11am Friday meeting, so let's look into alternate times for this semester. Can you please fill out this poll and select times that work for you? http://doodle.com/poll/n7skm6khdmcduxbw There are three options, Yes, (Yes), and No. (Yes) means if need be, i.e., you prefer not meeting at this time, but it's okay if no other times work. If you don't want to deal with the enormous number of options, you can also just email me a list of your conflicts / preferences. Please reply before this Friday. We'll meet at the usual time this Friday and Iman will speak. -aram _______________________________________________ qip mailing list qip(a)mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/qip

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] ML subgroup meeting: 2-3pm

by Benjamin Sanchez Lengeling

Hi All, To start the Machine Learning meetings of this semester we will have a small talk/review on some recent exciting new work from google, wavenet : a generative model for raw audio ( https://deepmind.com/blog/wavenet-generative-model-raw-audio/). While used for audiofiles, one could think of applying this technique to other contexts where waves are involved. Hope you can come, Jennifer and Ben

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] Group lunch tomorrow!

by Jennifer Wei

Hi everyone, Just a reminder that group lunch is tomorrow. This time, burritos have won the survey, so we'll go out to Felipe's or something similar. Meet at ~12pm in the CCB Lobby, and we'll go from there. Also a reminder: we are having our first board game night this Thursday after group meeting. See you all tomorrow, Jennifer

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] September 21, 2016-Jelena Vuckovic-HQOC/ITAMP Joint Quantum Sciences Seminar

by Ploucha, Clare Dolores

HQOC/ITAMP Joint Quantum Sciences Seminar Wednesday, September 21, 2016 4:00 PM, Jefferson 250 Prof. Jelena Vuckovic, Stanford "Quantum nanophotonics" Nanophotonic structures that localize photons in sub-wavelength volumes are possible today thanks to modern nanofabrication and optical design techniques. Such structures enable studies of new regimes of light-matter interaction, quantum and nonlinear optics, and new applications in computing, communications, and sensing. I will review our recent work on the traditional quantum nanophotonics platform based on InAs quantum dots inside GaAs photonic crystal cavities [1-3], as well as our progress on alternative material systems diamond and silicon carbide [4], which could potentially bring the described experiments to room temperature and facilitate scaling to large networks of resonators and emitters. Finally, the use of inverse design nanophotonic methods [5], that can efficiently perform physics-guided search through the full parameter space, leads optical devices with properties superior to state of the art, including smaller footprints, better field localization, and novel functionalities. [1] Optica, vol. 3, 931-936 (2016) [2] Nature Photonics,vol. 10, pp. 163-166 (2016) [3] Physical Review Letters, vol. 114, 233601 (2015) [4] Nano Letters, vol. 16 (1), pp. 212-217 (2016) [5] Nature Photonics 9, 374-377 (2015) Srujan Meesala, Loncar Group "Strain engineering of silicon vacancy centers in diamond MEMS cantilevers" The silicon vacancy (SiV) center in diamond has recently attracted attention as a solid state quantum emitter due to its attractive optical properties. We fabricate diamond MEMS cantilevers, and use electrostatic actuation to apply controlled strain fields to single SiV centers implanted in these devices. The strain response of the SiV electronic levels is measured - we demonstrate over 100 GHz tuning for the mean optical transition frequency, and over 400 GHz tuning for the orbital splitting within the ground state. The interaction Hamiltonian for strain fields is inferred, and large strain susceptibilities of the order 1 PHz/strain are measured. We discuss prospects to utilize our device to reduce phonon-induced decoherence in SiV spin qubits, and to exploit the large strain susceptibility for hybrid quantum systems based on nanomechanical resonators.

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] [qip] group meeting tomorrow, 11am, 6-310

by Aram Harrow

Dear quanta, Let's resume Friday morning group meetings tomorrow. We'll meet at 11am in room 6-310. If you can't make that time because of some permanent conflict this term, please let me know. If you know of others not on this list, please forward this message to them, and they can subscribe with the link at the end of this email. There is no speaker scheduled for this week, so before the meeting please think about whether you have anything you'd like to present in some future week. -aram _______________________________________________ qip mailing list qip(a)mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/qip
