SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:LSA@Play: Makers Series - Mug Painting & Hot Cocoa Bombs
DESCRIPTION:Stop by this Makers Series event to paint your own ceramic mug\, perfect for sipping and showing off your creativity! Then\, build your very own hot cocoa bomb. Bring your friends and your best mug design ideas!\n\nThe LSA@Play Makers Series offers regular crafting events for students to practice mindfulness\, relax\, and unleash their creativity!\n__________\nFor LSA undergrads only. Join us for LSA@Play\, a vibrant series of events designed to welcome and support LSA students! Gatherings and activities offer an opportunity for students to prioritize well-being\, inclusivity\, and community. Plus\, get free food and LSA swag! Visit the LSA@Play webpage: lsa.umich.edu/play for more details\, subscribe to receive text/email updates\, and check for additional events being added soon! Events are first-come\, first-served\, and while supplies last. One swag item per student\, and you must be present with an MCard to receive it.\n\nThe University of Michigan College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts (LSA) greatly values inclusion and access for all. We are pleased to provide reasonable accommodations to enable your full participation in this event. Please email lsaatplay@umich.edu if you would like to request disability accommodations or have any questions or concerns. We ask that you provide advance notice to ensure sufficient time to meet the requested accommodations.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantum Research Institute | Modeling Biology on a Quantum Computer:  Deciphering the Mechanism of ATP Hydrolysis Using Quantum Hardware
DESCRIPTION:In-person: West Hall 411\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/91050980639?jst=2\n\nAbstract:\nThe ability to model biochemical reaction dynamics on quantum hardware would open the door\nto the virtually exact description of enzymatic catalysis\, accelerating the discovery of novel\ntherapeutics. However\, noisy hardware\, the costs of computing gradients\, and the number of\nqubits and gates required to simulate large systems present major challenges to realizing the\npotential of dynamical simulations using quantum hardware. In this talk\, I will discuss our recent\nefforts to model ATP hydrolysis\, a paradigmatic and clinically-important biochemical reaction\,\nusing quantum hardware. Key to our modeling is employing transfer learning to learn\napproximate force fields based on abundant data and then correcting those force fields using\ndata from quantum hardware. Using this technique and new embedding and downfolding\nmethods\, I will show how we can gain novel mechanistic insights into a variety of hydrolysis-\nrelated reactions and how these techniques can be adapted to other problems in biochemistry.\nThroughout this talk\, I will underscore the opportunities and challenges associated with using\nquantum hardware and how these can be addressed via the fruitful marriage of quantum\ncomputation and machine learning.\n\nBio:\nDr. Brenda Rubenstein is currently the Krieble Professor of Chemistry at Brown University. She\nwas named to Popular Science magazine’s 2021 Brilliant 10 list of the top early career scientists\nand C&amp\;EN’s 2019 Talented 12 list of early career chemists\, and has received a number of\nresearch and teaching honors including the Camille Dreyfus Teacher Scholar Award\, a Cottrell\nTeacher Scholar Award\, and a Sloan Research Fellowship. While the focus of her work is on\ndeveloping new electronic structure methods\, she is also deeply engaged in rethinking\ncomputing architectures and computational biophysics. Prior to arriving at Brown\, she was a\nLawrence Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. She\nreceived her Sc.B.s in Chemical Physics and Applied Mathematics at Brown University\, her\nM.Phil. in Computational Chemistry while a Churchill Scholar at the University of Cambridge\,\nand her Ph.D. in Chemical Physics at Columbia University.
