[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] Fwd: 5k competition in department

by Nicolas Sawaya

See race/CCB details below, everyone. Also, important question: Does anyone in the race of a f*riend or significant other* coming to the race? If so, would said individual be willing to hold on to some people's sweat pants and wallets, for a fee of several beers from everyone else? Let me know if you have any leads.... Unfortunately they don't provide lockers or anything like that. Last thing: Many Irish pubs in Somerville host a huge number of runners at the end of the race. This is why this event is so fun. I suggest we try to get into *The Burren* after the race. The lines get long pretty quick, so try to show up as soon as you can (e.g. walk there from the finish line). My cell is 619 850 4653. Pain, Nicolas ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Holly Rees <hollyannerees(a)g.harvard.edu> Date: Fri, Mar 17, 2017 at 3:44 PM Subject: Re: 5k competition in department To: Nicolas Sawaya <sawayanicolas(a)gmail.com> Hey!!! I’m so excited for the race! It’s at 11AM. I’ve asked Helen to send out an email a couple of times - hope it goes out today!! Here is the content, anyway. Agh I don’t know what I will run! hopefully 16:50-ish, but the weather is so crazy I think I will be slower!!! What are you going for? Dear CCB, Just a reminder… The CCB Running Cross Country Race is on *Sunday*! For those who have signed up - get excited! For those who have not - come and support your labmates! If you entered using the CCB Discount code, I should get your name in a special list at the end to make scoring easier. If you did not use the discount code, please let me know so I can add you to the scoring list ( hollyannerees(a)g.harvard.edu). *Scoring Info - A reminder* Labs will need only FIVE RUNNERS to field a team! The scoring will be as follows: The race attracts >2,000 runners each year. Each successful runner from CCB will finish with a place amongst all the other runners in the race within their gender. The top five placed athletes from each lab will have their places summed and this will form the preliminary ‘score’ of that lab. IN ADDITION - EVERYONE WHO RACES, EARNS POINTS. For each additional person (beyond the five top placed lab members) in a lab who successfully runs the race will earn a bonus NEGATIVE FIVE points for their lab. The lab with the lowest final score wins. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the scoring or the race.

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] March 22, 2017-Randall Hulet-HQOC/ITAMP Joint Quantum Sciences Seminar

by Ploucha, Clare

HQOC/ITAMP Joint Quantum Sciences Seminar Wednesday, March 22, 2017 4:00 PM, Jefferson 250 Prof. Randall Hulet, Rice University “Pairing of Spin Polarized Fermi Gases” Ultracold atomic gases are versatile platforms for realizing novel many-body states of matter by virtue of the ability to tune parameters such as interaction, density, dimensionality, and spin-polarization. I will describe experiments that have produced phase diagrams of spin-polarized Fermi gasses in 1D, 3D, and in the 1D-3D dimensional crossover. I will conclude with our progress to create the holy grail of this research, which is the observation of the “elusive” FFLO superfluid state, a state that exhibits coexisting magnetic and superconducting order. Postdoc Presentation by Rivka Bekenstein from 4:00-4:10 PM Refreshments Served from 4:10-4:30 PM Guest Presentation from 4:30-6:00 PM -- Clare Ploucha Faculty Assistant to Professors Lukin & Greiner and their labs Department of Physics 17 Oxford St., Lyman 324A Cambridge, MA 02138 P.

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] [qip] Fwd: [iQuISE] Chris Monroe and QC with trapped ions

by Murphy Yuezhen Niu

Hi quanta, Today's iQuISE in room 26-214 at 12:00 might be of interest to you: Chris Monroe is talking about trapped ions! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sara <smouradi(a)mit.edu> Date: Tue, Mar 14, 2017 at 10:15 PM Subject: [iQuISE] Chris Monroe and QC with trapped ions To: iquise-associates(a)mit.edu Hello all, I hope you stayed warm during the snow day. This thursday, Prof. Chris Monroe from JQI & the University of Maryland will be talking about his group's recent work with trapped ions - both simulations of quantum magnetic interactions, and scaling quantum networks built on trapped ions to useful sizes. The talk will be in room 26-214 at 12:00, with pizza served at 11:45. Thank you, iQuISE Leadership iQuISE Seminar Series *Building a Quantum Computer, Atom by Atom* *THURSDAY, March 16th, 2017* 11:45 AM - 12:45 PM, ROOM 26-214 Laser-cooled and trapped atomic ions are standards for quantum information science, acting as qubits with unsurpassed levels of quantum coherence while also allowing near-perfect measurement. When qubit state-dependent optical forces are applied to a collection of ions, their Coulomb interaction is modulated in a way that allows entanglement operations that form the basis of a quantum computer. Similar forces allow the simulation of quantum magnetic interactions, and recent experiments have implemented tunable long-range interacting spin models with up to 25 trapped ions. Scaling to even larger numbers can be accomplished by coupling trapped ion qubits to optical photons, where entanglement can be formed over remote distances for applications in quantum communication, quantum teleportation, and distributed quantum computation. By employing such a modular and reconfigurable architecture, it should be possible to scale up ion trap quantum networks to useful dimensions, for future quantum applications that are impossible using classical processors. -- Murphy Yuezhen Niu *PhD Candidate* *Optical and Quantum Communications Group <http://www.rle.mit.edu/qoptics/>* *Publications <https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=0wJPxfkAAAAJ&hl=en>* *Department of Physics* Massachusetts Institute of Technology _______________________________________________ qip mailing list qip(a)mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/qip

by Aram Harrow

Dear quanta, We will meet at the usual time and place (6-310, 11am) this Friday. Lior will tell us about lattice algorithms. This time I have my once-a-month meeting right before this, and so I can't pick up donuts. Would anyone like to volunteer to do this? thanks, aram _______________________________________________ qip mailing list qip(a)mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/qip
