Compiler Framework

We introduce ProjectQ, an open source software effort for quantum computing. The first release features a compiler framework capable of targeting various types of hardware, a high-performance simulator with emulation capabilities, and compiler plug-ins for circuit drawing and resource estimation. We introduce our Python-embedded domain-specific language, present the features, and provide example implementations for quantum algorithms. The framework allows testing of quantum algorithms through simulation and enables running them on actual quantum hardware using a back-end connecting to the IBM Quantum Experience cloud service. Through extension mechanisms, users can provide back-ends to further quantum hardware, and scientists working on quantum compilation can provide plug-ins for additional compilation, optimization, gate synthesis, and layout strategies.

Huanfeng Jiang of the South China University of Technology showed (J. Org. Chem. 2010, 75, 966) that an alkynoate 1 could be condensed with a 1,3-dicarbonyl compound 2 to give, under oxidizing conditions, the furan 3. Phil Ho Lee of Kangwon National University found (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 1899) that the enyne 4 cyclized smoothly to the furan 5. Yahong Li of Suzhou University and Vladimir Gevorgyan of the University of Illinois, Chicago, demonstrated (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 7645) that the cyclization of 6 proceeded with silyl migration, to give 7. François Bilodeau and Pat Forgione of Boehringer Ingelheim (Canada) optimized (J. Org. Chem. 2010, 75, 1550) the Pd-mediated decarboxylative coupling of a furoic acid 8 with 9 to give 10. This protocol also worked well with pyrrole carboxylic acids. In another transformation of a preformed pyrrole, Masatomo Iwao of Nagasaki University observed (Organic Lett. 2010, 12, 2734) that in the presence of LDA/diisopropylamine, the initially formed 2-anion from the deprotonation of 11 gave the 2-product 12 with more reactive electrophiles but the 5-product 13 with less reactive electrophiles. Umasish Jana of Jadavpur University developed (J. Org. Chem. 2010, 75, 1674) a route to more highly substituted pyrroles such as 17 using the remarkable four-component coupling of 14, 15, and 16 with nitromethane, the carbon of which was incorporated in the product. Laura L. Anderson, also of the University of Illinois, Chicago, designed (Organic Lett. 2010, 12, 2290) a clever approach to pyrroles, based on the Ir-catalyzed rearrangement of O-allyl oximes such as 18. Xiaofeng Tong of the East China University of Science and Technology reported (Chem. Commun. 2010, 312) the condensation of 20 with 21 to give the dihydropyridine 22. Base-mediated elimination of sulfinate could convert 22 into the pyridine. Jin-Quan Yu of Scripps/La Jolla found (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 1275) that Pd-mediated activation of the nictotinamide 23 proceeded with high regioselectivity, leading to 25. Zhiping Li of Remnin University of China demonstrated (J. Org. Chem. 2010, 75, 4636) that the chloroenamine 26 cyclized to the indole 27 on exposure to NaI.

A variety of antibiotics and immune-suppressive agents contain extended arrays of all- ( E )-polyenes. Samir Bouzbouz of CNS Rouen and Janine Cossy of ESPCI ParisTech devised ( Synlett 2009, 803) a simple iterative route to polyacetates such as 1 and demonstrated that after cross-metathesis, elimination, in this case to give Navenone B 3, was facile. Both ketones and esters can promote the elimination. Daesung Lee of the University of Illinois at Chicago designed (Organic Lett. 2009, 11 , 571) a clever chain-walking ring-closing ene-yne metathesis, cyclizing 4 to 5. Deprotection led to (+)-asperpentyn 6. This should be a general entry to such polyoxygenated cyclohexenes. For the structures of H2 and G2, see Organic Highlights, September 13, 2004. One of the challenges in the synthesis of (-)-amphidinoloide K 10 is the assembly of the complex conjugated diene. Eun Lee of Seoul National University found (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2009, 48, 2364) a solution to this problem in the Ru-catalyzed cross-metathesis between the alkyne 7 and the alkene 8. Note that the cross-metathesis proceeded with high regioselectivity and with substantial (7.5:1) control of the product alkene geometry. For the construction of complex natural products such as norhalichondrin B 14, it is important to employ a convergent synthetic strategy. For this to be successful, efficient methods for convergent coupling are required. In the course of a synthesis of 14, Andrew J. Phillips of the University of Colorado showed (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2009, 48, 2346) that Ru-mediated cross-metathesis could be used to couple the enone 11 with the alkene 12. A less congested version of H2, designed by Robert H. Grubbs of Caltech, was used for the coupling. The electron-deficient alkene of 11 and the more electron-rich alkene of 12 made a matched set, promoting the cross-coupling. Note again, in this context, the desirability of leaving the allylic alcohol of 12 unprotected to facilitate Ru-catalyzed alkene cross-metathesis.

Catalog System

The VuFind open–source, next-generation catalog system was implemented by the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois as an alternative to the WebVoyage OPAC system. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign began offering VuFind alongside WebVoyage in 2009 as an experiment in next generation catalogs. Using a faceted search discovery interface, it offered numerous improvements to the UIUC catalog and focused on limiting results after searching rather than limiting searches up front. Library users have praised VuFind for its Web 2.0 feel and features. However, there are issues, particularly with catalog data.

We have shown previously that isotope-labelled nucleotides in human metaphase chromosomes can be detected and mapped by imaging secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), using the University of Chicago high resolution scanning ion microprobe (UC SIM). These early studies, conducted with BrdU- and 14C-thymidine-labelled chromosomes via detection of the Br and 28CN- (14C14N-> labelcarrying signals, provided some evidence for the condensation of the label into banding patterns along the chromatids (SIMS bands) reminiscent of the well known Q- and G-bands obtained by conventional staining methods for optical microscopy. The potential of this technique has been greatly enhanced by the recent upgrade of the UC SIM, now coupled to a high performance magnetic sector mass spectrometer in lieu of the previous RF quadrupole mass filter. The high transmission of the new spectrometer improves the SIMS analytical sensitivity of the microprobe better than a hundredfold, overcoming most of the previous imaging limitations resulting from low count statistics.

By examining folk music activities connecting students and local musicians during the early 1960s at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, this article demonstrates how university geographies and musical landscapes influence musical activities in college towns. The geography of the University of Illinois, a rural Midwestern location with a mostly urban, middle-class student population, created an unusual combination of privileged students in a primarily working-class area. This combination of geography and landscape framed interactions between students and local musicians in Urbana-Champaign, stimulating and complicating the traversal of sociocultural differences through traditional music. Members of the University of Illinois Campus Folksong Club considered traditional music as a high cultural form distinct from mass-culture artists, aligning their interests with then-dominant scholarly approaches in folklore and film studies departments. Yet students also interrogated the impropriety of folksong presentation on campus, and community folksingers projected their own discomfort with students’ liberal politics. In hosting concerts by rural musicians such as Frank Proffitt and producing a record of local Urbana-Champaign folksingers called Green Fields of Illinois (1963), the folksong club attempted to suture these differences by highlighting the aesthetic, domestic, historical, and educational aspects of local folk music, while avoiding contemporary socioeconomic, commercial, and political concerns. This depoliticized conception of folk music bridged students and local folksingers, but also represented local music via a nineteenth-century rural landscape that converted contemporaneous lived practice into a temporally distant object of aesthetic study. Students’ study of folk music thus reinforced the power structures of university culture—but engaging local folksinging as an educational subject remained for them the most ethical solution for questioning, and potentially traversing, larger problems of inequality and difference.
