[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] ITAMP lunch seminar - Ivana Dimitrova (Feb 8th)

by Bekenstein, Rivka

*ITAMP Lunch Seminar* *Speaker:* Ivana Dimitrova (MIT) *Date:* Monday, Feb 8th *Time:* 12:00-1:00 pm Includes Pizza. *Title: *New regimes of superradiance in a symmetrically pumped BEC *Abstract: *Superradiance is the collective scattering of light from a group of particles. Bose Einstein condensates are particularly well-suited to study superradiance in the form of collective Rayleigh scattering due to their long coherence times. We have realized new regimes of superradiance when a BEC is pumped by two noninterfering counterpropagating beams. For small Rayleigh scattering rates, there is suppression of superradiance, while for large Rayleigh scattering rates a new phase, similar to a supersolid, is energetically favored. I will discuss our experimental observations together with the theoretical prediction of a supersolid in this system. *Location: *B-106 @ Center for Astrophysics (60 Garden Street) *Directions: *After entering the lobby of the CfA, turn right to enter the hallway of the B building. In the hallway, turn right again, B-106 will be at the end of the hallway on the left side.

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] [qip] CS courses this term

by Anand Natarajan

Dear quanta, For those of you interested in computer science, here are two possibly relevant courses being offered this term: 1) 18.408: An Algorithmist's Toolkit. Taught by Jon Kelner. TR2.30-4 (4-237) Topics to include "spectral graph theory, convex geometry, iterative methods for optimization and linear algebra, graphs, linear systems, and electrical networks, graph decomposition, approximation, and embedding, and lattices and basis reduction." 2) 6.875/18.425: Cryptography & Cryptanalysis. Taught by Shafi Goldwasser. MW9.30-11 (4-370) "A rigorous introduction to modern cryptography. Emphasis on the fundamental cryptographic primitives of public-key encryption, digital signatures, pseudo-random number generation, and basic protocols and their computational complexity requirements.

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] [qip] events in Boston area

by Aram Harrow

1) Apr 21-22: Chris King and I are organizing a special session on “Mathematical Perspectives in Quantum Information Theory” at the upcoming AMS Sectional Meeting at Northeastern University. More information will be available at this URL later: http://www.ams.org/meetings/sectional/2252_program_ss24.html#title There is a registration fee, which is $10 for students, and the registration deadline is Apr 17. 2) Apr 23-24: Arthur Jaffe, Zhengwei Liu and Shing-Tung Yau are organizing a meeting on q info at Harvard. Again there is a placeholder link which has no information yet but hopefully will later. http://cmsa.fas.harvard.edu/conference-on-quantum-information/ My understanding is that this will be free to attend (apart from the conference dinner) but they may ask for registration 3) June 14-16: ComSciCon 2018 National Workshop Free workshop for grad students on science communication. They have a working website with lots more information https://comscicon.com/comscicon18-workshop and their registration deadline is Mar 1. -aram _______________________________________________ qip mailing list qip(a)mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/qip

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] Seminar Tobias Kramer: Friday 2pm-3pm

by Christoph Kreisbeck

Hi everyone, Tobias Kramer will give a Seminar this Friday at 2pm in the division room. Please find below Tobias' title and abstract. Cheers Christoph Title: Bringing HEOM up-to-speed on a supercomputer Abstract: I present our current work to provide a scalable open quantum system dynamics using HEOM for supercomputers with hundreds of nodes. At the Zuse-Institute Berlin (ZIB) we implement the Hierarchical Equations of Motion (HEOM) method and provide utilities to compute various optical response functions. As illustration I compare computed 2D spectra with experiments of the photosynthetic apparatus of C. Tepidum [1] for various polarization sequences.
