Chemical calculations that would take massive amounts of time and rely heavily on approximation with classical computers can therefore be more feasibly—and precisely—performed with quantum computers, explained Alàn Aspuru-Guzik, an assistant professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Harvard and another author of the study...
...stop the flow of music would be like the stopping of time itself, incredible and inconceivable.” But in the poor, remote areas of Russia and Ukraine, becoming a musician, even for talented children, is closer to the unrealizable than Copland would have thought. Enter the Guzik Foundation, a million-dollar scholarship program founded in Palo Alto, California by Russian-born industrialist Nahum Guzik. The foundation supports the artistic endeavors of a small group of talented musicians selected by competition. The best of these become Guzik Foundation Award Winners. This year, Ukrainian-born winners Dinara Nadzhafova and Ilya...
...summers ago, Estelle Guzik, a volunteer archivist at New York City's YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, came across a curious file previously not indexed: a cache of letters written by Anne Frank's father, Otto.

That myth has been shattered, says Estelle Guzik, director of the New York Jewish Genealogical Society, adding that "a significant number of records remain, and people are uncovering them daily." After talking to relatives and tracking down as much about her family as she could in the U.S., Guzik traveled to Poland, and, against all odds, found in the small village of Korczyn the 1884 tombstone of her great-great-grandfather...
