[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Google Calendar.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear Group, Preparing for the semester, I am working with Google Calendar now to provide my availability so you know when we can meet, etc. I might set up weekly or bi-weekly meetings with you guys to see how things are going regardless of you knowing that I can talk to you if my time is available. I added Sule, James, Ivan Tubert and Alejandro so they can see my calendar, but I have not added Cheryl, Ali,Masoud or Ivan (Kassal) because I don't know/ignore your Google addresses. Cheryl will have scheduling availability really soon. Let's see how this works, but I think this will be a good resource for all of us to use. You guys can also open your calendars and show availability (if you wish) and then we can schedule things more efficiently. Knowing at least your class schedules will be useful.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] About the windows computer.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

New news about the windows computer. It is currently known as aspuruwin.chem.harvard.edu, and an alias will be created sometime tomorrow to call it shanghai.chem.harvard.edu additionally to aspuruwin. We added a 60 GB partition for more stuff (E:) Please Install *ALL* new software into that partition, I have created E:\Program Files\ and E: \Program Downloads (to download install files) Yours, Alan -- Alán Aspuru-Guzik Assistant Professor Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology 12 Oxford Street Harvard University Cambridge, MA 02138 Tel: (617)384-8188 Group URL: http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Windows Machine.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear Group members, We have a Windows machine available for running Word, Powerpoint, etc. and all those pesky Windows-only programs. there is a Wiki page about it (how to login, etc.) http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu:8080/mediawiki/index.php/Windows_Computer_no… The basic info is that you can login as easily as using the rdesktop command on any one of our Linux boxes. I have created an administrator account (called group, James: The password is the same that you know) where one can add users. I added an account for the following people, any others that want to use it and I forgot, please e-mail James about creating an account. The password for the initially created accounts is 06fgjh06 and you should change it immediately. jdw James atahan Sule Atahan itubert Ivan Tubert ikassal Ivan Kassal aleperd Alejandro Perdomo ali Ali Najmaie masoud Masoud Mohseni Test it and let me know if you have any trouble, Cheers, Alan -- Alán Aspuru-Guzik Assistant Professor Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology 12 Oxford Street Harvard University Cambridge, MA 02138 Tel: (617)384-8188 Group URL: http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu -- Alán Aspuru-Guzik Assistant Professor Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology 12 Oxford Street Harvard University Cambridge, MA 02138 Tel: (617)384-8188 Group URL: http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Seminar.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear all, Masoud Mohseni, who is going to join our group in October as a postdoctoral researcher is going to talk this Friday at 4 PM at Harvard. Please forward to anybody interested. ----- Dr. Masoud Mohseni (University of Toronto and University of Southern California) Friday, August 25th, 4:00 PM, Harvard University Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Mallinckrodt Building, 12 Oxford Street, Room M114 Direct Characterization of Quantum Dynamics The characterization of quantum dynamics is a fundamental task in quantum mechanics, that can be accomplished via quantum process tomography (QPT). We present a general theory for direct and complete characterization of quantum dynamics of an open quantum system. In contrast to all known QPT schemes, our method relies on error-detection techniques and does not require any quantum state tomography. By analysis of the number of necessary experimental configurations and quantum operations in a given Hilbert space, we demonstrate that our approach is more efficient than all existing QPT schemes. We also provide a discussion of its possible physical realizations and illustrate its advantage in partial characterization of quantum dynamics. Specifically, we demonstrate that our scheme can be efficiently used for Hamiltonian identification, and also for simultaneous determination of both the relaxation time T1 and dephasing time T2. -- Alán Aspuru-Guzik Assistant Professor Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology 12 Oxford Street Harvard University Cambridge, MA 02138 Tel: (617)384-8188 Group URL: http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] MIT meetings.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear group members, Our group has been invited to participate in the MIT quantum computing group meetings. I forward the invitation of Eddie Farhi for this Wednesday, but in general, we will be able to attend and learn more about the topic with really good people (Eddie Farhi, Peter Shor, Isaac Chuang, etc.) Peter Shor will be teaching Quantum Computation I for graduate students at MIT next semester Tue and Thursdays at 1.00 PM before my QM class (hint, hint). Yours, Alan -- Alán Aspuru-Guzik Assistant Professor Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology 12 Oxford Street Harvard University Cambridge, MA 02138 Tel: (617)384-8188 Group URL: http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Furniture!

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear group, Cheryl sent this e-mail about possesions of older students and graduate students. I think that every one of you is just moving in and getting started so if you are around, this is a great opportunity to obtain furniture, kitchen stuff, etc. at close-to-zero prices!

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Local quantum control conference.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear all, I have registered Kinga Partyka, Ivan Tubert, James Whitfield, Alejandro Perdomo and myself to attend to the conference: http://www.deas.harvard.edu/quantum/index.html I just found out about this conference on Sunday, and managed to late-register everybody free of charge. I hope you can stop and get your badge, and attend to as many talks as your schedule and interests permit. On other news, I will be away August 17-23 on a Mexico (talk) and Vancouver (D-Wave) trip. I expect to be available by e-mail.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] GQI.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear all, Here is the newsletter of the quantum information group of APS. If you are an APS member, it is free to become a member, and for you students (Kinga, James, Ivan and Alejandro), I think that being a student member of APS is free, so I would recommend you to become one. Let me know if that is not the case (free membership for students). http://www.aps.org/ Alan -- Alán Aspuru-Guzik Assistant Professor Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology 12 Oxford Street Harvard University Cambridge, MA 02138 Tel: (617)384-8188 Group URL: http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu
