Question: When was the UC Berkeley Physics professor for whom the Born-Oppenheimer approximation is named born?
Context: Newton-X is a general program for molecular dynamics simulations beyond the Born-Oppenheimer approximation.  It has been primarily used for simulations of ultrafast processes (femtosecond to picosecond time scale) in photoexcited molecules.  It has also been used for simulation of band envelops of absorption and emission spectra. The Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation is a building on the UC Berkeley campus, part of the UC Berkeley College of Engineering.  Construction began in August 2014 with a $20 million gift from the Paul and Stacy Jacobs Foundation.  The ribbon-cutting ceremony took place on August 20, 2015, with speeches by speeches by various UC Berkeley administrators, Ellen Lupton, Paul E. Jacobs, executive chairman of Qualcomm, and the building opened for instruction on September 16.  The 24,000-square-foot building was constructed at a cost of $25 million, funded by philanthropy. The Berkeley Physics Course is a series of college-level physics textbooks written mostly by UC Berkeley professors. Stephen D. Sugarman is the Roger J. Traynor Professor of Law at the UC Berkeley School of Law, where he has taught since 1972.  He was the associate dean of the UC Berkeley School of Law from 1980 to 1982, and then again from 2004 to 2009.  At UC Berkeley, he teaches multiple classes in the social justice curriculum, including classes torts and sports law.  He has been a visiting professor at the London School of Economics, at University College, London, and at Columbia University, among other institutions. Julius Robert Oppenheimer (April 22, 1904 – February 18, 1967) was an American theoretical physicist and professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley.  Oppenheimer was the wartime head of the Los Alamos Laboratory and is among those who are credited with being the "father of the atomic bomb" for their role in the Manhattan Project, the World War II undertaking that developed the first nuclear weapons used in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  The first atomic bomb was detonated on July 16, 1945, in the Trinity test in New Mexico; Oppenheimer later remarked that it brought to mind words from the "Bhagavad Gita": "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." Surface hopping is a mixed quantum-classical technique that incorporates quantum mechanical effects into molecular dynamics simulations.  Traditional molecular dynamics assume the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, where the lighter electrons adjust instantaneously to the motion of the nuclei.  Though the Born-Oppenheimer approximation is applicable to a wide range of problems, there are several applications, such as photoexcited dynamics, electron transfer, and surface chemistry where this approximation falls apart.  Surface hopping partially incorporates the non-adiabatic effects by including excited adiabatic surfaces in the calculations, and allowing for 'hops' between these surfaces, subject to certain criteria. Frances C. Butler (born 1940 in St. Louis, Missouri) is an American book artist and educator.  Butler received her B.A. in History at the University of California, Berkeley in 1961, her M.A. in History at Stanford University in 1963, and a second M.A. in Design at UC Berkeley in 1966.  She was a professor at UC Berkeley from 1968–70, and began teaching at UC Davis in 1970.  She ran Goodstuffs Handprinted Fabric from 1973–79, and co-founded Poltroon Press with Alastair Johnston in 1975. The Asian American Political Alliance (AAPA) was a political organization started at University of California, Berkeley in 1968 that aimed to unite all Asian Americans under one identity to push for political and social action.  The two main chapters were at UC Berkeley, and San Francisco State College, both of which became heavily involved in the larger Asian American movement throughout the 1960s, including at the Third World Liberation Front strikes at SF State and at UC Berkeley.  The AAPA identified as an anti-imperialistic, Third World political organization that fought for self-determination and liberation for Asian Americans.  They expressed solidarity and support for other people of color throughout the US and throughout the world, particularly in colonized or recently decolonized countries.  The AAPA's participation in the Third World Liberation Front strikes at SF State and UC Berkeley resulted in the creation of a School of Ethnic Studies at SF State and an Ethnic Studies department at UC Berkeley.  The AAPA was also involved in movements such as the Black Power Movement and the anti-Vietnam War movement.  Although both main chapters were short-lived and disbanded in 1969, the AAPA played a large role in the Asian American movement and was influential in encouraging other Asian Americans to get involved in political action. The UC Berkeley-UCSF Joint Medical Program (JMP) is a joint degree program in the University of California system, between the UC Berkeley School of Public Health and the UCSF School of Medicine.  The JMP begins with three years at UC Berkeley, where students complete the basic science component of their medical education while concurrently completing a Masters of Science in health and medical sciences.  Students then matriculate to the UCSF School of Medicine for two years of clinical clerkships at UCSF-affiliated hospitals.  At the end of this 5-year program, students graduate with an M.D. from UCSF and an M.S. from UC Berkeley. In quantum chemistry and molecular physics, the Born–Oppenheimer (BO) approximation is the assumption that the motion of atomic nuclei and electrons in a molecule can be separated.  The approach is named after Max Born and J. Robert Oppenheimer.  In mathematical terms, it allows the wavefunction of a molecule to be broken into its electronic and nuclear (vibrational, rotational) components.
