[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] Housewarming party

by Gelbwaser, David

As you all probably know at this point, we moved to a new home and we're having a baby - the first being a consequence of the second. We wanted to welcome you to our new place before the baby arrives and there are toys (and diapers) everywhere. So please join us next Saturday starting at 4pm and stay as much as you want - we have to start training for sleepless nights... Our address is 65 Mason Terrace Brookline. (Side entrance of house 63 Mason Terrace) Please let us know if you plan on coming, so we can be prepared. You don't have to bring anything, your presence is the most important thing for us! But if you do insist, anything to eat and/or drink is welcome. David 617-412-8564 <https://www.facebook.com/events/529823467390177/?notif_t=plan_admin_added&n…>

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear all, I forgot about this. Anybody has anything in the pipeline? I think we are short of something, and if so, I will reply we did not make it to this special issue. 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 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Margaret Donnelly <margaret.donnelly(a)iop.org> Date: Fri, Jan 12, 2018 at 11:46 AM Subject: RE: Focus on Quantum Machine Learning - invitation To: Alan Aspuru-Guzik <aspuru(a)chemistry.harvard.edu> Cc: "Alan Aspuru-Guzik (alan(a)aspuru.com)" <alan(a)aspuru.com> Dear Alan, Happy new year! I hope you are doing well. You will recall that some time ago Gian Giacomo Guerresci, Roger Melko, Nathan Wiebe, as co-editors, wrote to you concerning a focus issue on "Quantum Machine Learning” to be published this year in Quantum Science and Technology (QST). As leading experts in this field you were specifically invited to contribute a research article. I recall you were initially unsure if you would be able to contribute an article, and I wondered if you could confirm whether or not you think you will be able to contribute an article to this focus issue. As a reminder the submission deadline was *1 January 2018*; however, this is flexible and can be extended in your case if necessary. Thank you in advance for considering our invitation. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any queries. With best regards, Maggie Donnelly ________________ *Margaret Donnelly * Publisher IOP Publishing 1325 G St NW, Suite 1010 <https://maps.google.com/?q=1325+G+St+NW,+Suite+1010&entry=gmail&source=g> Washington, D.C. 20005, USA Direct line: (304)205-0247 <(304)%20205-0247> www.iopscience.org *From:* Alan Aspuru-Guzik [mailto:aspuru@chemistry.harvard.edu <aspuru(a)chemistry.harvard.edu>] *Sent:* Tuesday, July 25, 2017 17:03 *To:* Quantum Science and Technology <qst(a)iop.org> *Subject:* Re: Focus on Quantum Machine Learning - invitation Thank you for the invitation, We will try to submit something appropriate if we have a suitable paper on the topic by the deadline. Best San On Tue, Jul 25, 2017 at 4:37 PM Quantum Science and Technology <qst(a)iop.org> wrote: Dear Dr Aspuru-Guzik, The Editorial Board for the new IOP journal, 'Quantum Science and Technology' (QST) (http://iopscience.iop.org/journal/2058-9565 <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__emea01.safelinks.prote…>), has identified the topic of “Quantum Machine Learning" as a subject for a forthcoming focus issue aimed at collecting a broad selection of outstanding articles from the leading research groups worldwide now working across the field. As a member of an active group working in this area, we would like to invite you to contribute an original research paper. This issue will form a very select resource spanning the very latest cutting edge research in this rapidly developing field. Through a single high quality collection, readers across the world will therefore be able to see the current "state of the science" in an interdisciplinary area of growing importance within quantum technology. Specific topics to be covered will include: - Classical machine learning applied to quantum systems - Algorithms for machine learning on quantum hardware - Machine learning for quantum experiments - Frontiers in quantum machine learning - As co-editors, we are taking editorial responsibility for this focus issue and are asking for contributions to be submitted *before 1 January 2018*. You may however submit before this date in the knowledge that your article will be processed immediately, and published without being delayed by other contributions - articles accepted earlier will be published earlier. All contributions should strictly report new and unpublished results that make a significant advance in the field in line with QST's strict acceptance criteria. As a guide for the quality expectations we refer to the journal's mission statement as follows: *********************************** *QST Mission Statement*: Quantum Science and Technology (QST) is dedicated to bringing together the latest and most important results and perspectives from across the emerging field of quantum science and technology. The journal is highly selective and submissions must be both essential reading for a particular sub-field, and of interest to the broader quantum science and technology community, with the expectation for lasting scientific and technological impact. The Editorial Board therefore anticipate that only a small portion of submissions to QST will be selected for publication. We feel that the rapidly growing QST community is looking for a journal with this profile, and one that together we can achieve. Submissions that do not meet QST's strict acceptance criteria may be transferred at the discretion of the journal's editors (with author approval) to other relevant journals in the IOP portfolio for consideration. *********************************** Authors in QST are encouraged to submit any supplementary features (animations, tables of data, movie clips, colour etc) relevant to their results. For this particular focus issue you are strongly encouraged to supplement your article with a video abstract towards raising further the visibility of your work - full guidelines regarding this unique feature can be found at http://iopscience.iop.org/2053-1583/page/Video% 20abstract%20guidelines <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__emea01.safelinks.prote…> . We are convinced that this focus issue is well timed to showcase the exciting work currently being conducted in this field and would like to thank you in advance for considering this invitation. Please direct any queries you may have about this initiative to the QST team at qst(a)iop.org. For your information we append below the full list of other authors who have been invited as part of this exclusive initiative. We look forward to your reply.

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] Modtland Thesis Defense - Today at 10:30am, room 37-252

by Catherine M Bourgeois

Just a friendly reminder! This is TODAY!! [cid:image001.png@01D38AB9.91B13910] Dear colleagues and friends, You are cordially invited to attend my thesis defense. Details are below. Title: Towards Valleytronics in Monolayer Transition Metal Dichalcogenides Presenter: Brian Modtland, RLE Supervisor: Marc Baldo Date: Thursday, January 11, 2018 Time: 10:30am Location: Marlar Lounge (37-252) Abstract: Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibit distinct electrical and optical properties according to the relative occupation of each of two valleys in their dispersion relation. The resulting valley degree of freedom is robust, linked to a large spin-orbit splitting between valence bands, and shows promise in electro-optical devices or as an information token for logic applications. In order to explore applications of these properties, monolayer crystals are required that have reduced intervalley scattering. To date, the majority of valley-related studies have focused on exfoliated samples for their quality and ease of production. In this thesis, valley polarization is explored in monolayer tungsten disulfide (WS2) synthesized by chemical vapor transport (CVT). This novel method of bottom-up growth relies on halide-driven vapor transport commonly utilized in bulk crystal growth. Using a small amount of sodium chloride salt as a source of chlorine, non-volatile WS2 can react to form gaseous tungsten chloride and sulfur. With an open tube system, a controlled reaction generates mono- and few- layer WS2 crystals. These crystals have excellent optical properties and exhibit a degree of valley polarization near 50% at 77 K and up to 30% at room temperature. This surpasses previous values reported in WS2. By decoupling pump photon and thermal energy, valley depolarization shows the characteristics of an electron-hole exchange interaction rather than nonradiative scattering. These results offer the initial groundwork for future devices that use the coupled valley-spin degree of freedom as a robust token of information, promising reduced power consumption compared to conventional MOSFET-based electronics.

by Aram Harrow

Dear quanta, The ITCS ("Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science ") conference is taking place at MIT this weekend. Here is the program: https://projects.csail.mit.edu/itcs/program.html There are just a few quantum or quantum-inspired talks (e.g. see Lior's talk) but in general the confernece aims to present breakthroughs in theoretical CS that are more conceptual than technical, so it may be a good way to get overview of recent exciting work in TCS. aram _______________________________________________ qip mailing list qip(a)mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/qip
