[vip-all] Jura Impressa XS90 for sale
by Soeren Frandsen 24 Nov '11

24 Nov '11

Dear all, The coffee club at the 5th floor in 'Outer Space' is planning to buy a new Espresso machine of the same type as the one we are using now, but with some extras (cappucino!!!). The present machine was bought in September 2008 (15.000 kr.) and is consequently 3 years ańd a bit old. As it is still in good working conditions (brewing unit replaced not long ago), we wonder whether other groups might want to try good coffee and are selling the machine for the best price we can get. Please, propose a price, low as it might be. At a price of 3.00/cup we have made a profit of 5.000/year and thus been able to save money for a new machine. Reply to this email or send me an email if you are interested or/and have some questions. The coffeekeeper Søren Frandsen (new telephone number 87156352)

Dear all, Again this year we hope that some of you will contribute with some sort of performance during the christmas dinner at IFA. It really adds something extra to the arrangement that I am sure everybody enjoy very much. Send me a line if you are planning something. Looking forward to the event on beghalf of the !PS Søren Frandsen

[vip-all] Molecular physics seminar today at 14.15, room 1525-223
by Steen Brøndsted Nielsen 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

Computational chemistry studies of sulfuric acid clustering ? first-principle nucleation rates from dynamic cluster models Theo Kurtén Department of Physical Sciences University of Helsinki We combine quantum chemical evaporation rates with dynamic cluster modeling in order to study the nucleation behavior of a system containing sulfuric acid, ions and nitrogen bases (ammonia and dimethylamine). Despite the lack of any fitting parameters, as well as the limitation of our cluster dataset to clusters containing four acids or less, our computed results match the experimental (laboratory and field) observations fairly well. The model results are useful for comparing e.g. neutral base-enhanced and ion-induced sulfuric acid nucleation over a wide range of different conditions, some of which may be quite difficult to attain experimentally. Time: Wednesday, November 23 at 14:15 Place: 1525-223, Department of Physics and Astronomy Preben Hvelplund and Steen Brøndsted

[vip-all] General Physics Colloquium today at 3:15 p.m. - Note time and place
by Kate Andersen 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

Title: Towards scalable quantum information processing and quantum simulation with trapped ions Speaker: Dietrich Leibfried, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Boulder, USA Time: Tuesday, 22 November, 2011 at 3:15 p.m. Place: Auditorium D2, Building 1531, Department of Mathematics Abstract I will discuss experiments towards Quantum Information Processing (QIP) and Quantum Simulation (QS) with trapped ions. Most requirements for QIP and QS have been demonstrated in this system, with two big challenges remaining: Improving operation fidelity and scaling up to larger numbers of qubits. The architecture pursued at the Ion Storage Group at NIST is based on quantum information stored in long lived internal (hyperfine) states of the ions. We investigate the use of laser beams and microwave fields to induce both single-qubit rotations and multi-qubit gates mediated by the Coulomb interaction between ions. Moving ions through a multi-zone trap architecture allows for keeping the number of ions per zone small, while sympathetic cooling with a second ion species can remove energy and entropy from the system. After a brief introduction to these elements, I will present the current status of experiments and some future perspectives for QIP and QS as well as for other applications based on trapped ions. This work has been supported by IARPA, DARPA, NSA, ONR, and the NIST Quantum Information Program. _____ Coffee/tea and cake will be served at 3 p.m. David Field

[vip-all] Vinduepolering - Window cleaning
by Ruth Laursen 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

VINDUESPOLERING onsdag den 23.11.2011 Ifølge aftale med vinduespudseren kræver dette, at alle vindueskarme og hylder under vinduet er ryddede (for blomster, papir o.l.). I bedes derfor alle sørge for, at der er ryddet op inden I går hjem tirsdag den 22.11.2011. P.S. RYD evt. naboens vindueskarm hvis du ved at han/hun er bortrejst. Window cleaning on Wednesday 23. November 2011 Your windows will be cleaned on Wednesday 23 November. Please see to it that everything (plants, paper etc.) on your window sill and shelf is removed when you leave your office on Tuesday 22 November. If you know that your next-door colleague is away please clear her/his window sill and shelf also.
