Astronomy Seminar
Astronomy Seminar
Friday, January 31st, 2025
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Gant South Building
Brendan Cole, EcoTarium Museum of Science and Nature
Is Andromeda a Barred Spiral? What Planet is Shrek From?
Informal educators engage individuals in museums, libraries, and school assemblies–environments that are highly stimulating and lower-stakes than the traditional classroom. Interactively exploring and examining complex topics in these settings requires careful consideration of what is being shown and the language used to convey it. Brendan Cole, Manager of Museum Education at Worcester’s EcoTarium museum of science and nature will dive into the tips, tricks, and techniques for engaging a public audience with any scientific topic, including one that you may not have prepared for.

Prof. Victor S. Batista, Department of Chemistry, Yale University and Yale Quantum Institute
Simulating Dynamics on Bosonic Quantum Devices
Bosonic quantum devices offer a novel approach to realize quantum computations, where the quantum two-level system (qubit) is replaced with the quantum (an)harmonic oscillator (qumode) as the fundamental building block of the quantum simulator. The simulation of chemical structure and dynamics can then be achieved by representing or mapping the system Hamiltonians in terms of bosonic operators. In this talk, we review recent progress and future potential of using bosonic quantum devices for addressing a wide range of challenging chemical problems, including the calculation of molecular vibronic spectra, the simulation of adiabatic and nonadiabatic chemical dynamics, quantum machine learning applications for characterization of molecular systems, molecular docking of molecular graph theory problems, and the calculations of electronic structure
