Abstract: A crucial requirement for large-scale quantum information processing will be the development of modular quantum processors capable of transmitting quantum information between qubits housed at different nodes. In this talk, I will describe a strategy for generating “which-path” entanglement between a qubit and a light pulse .The resulting qubit—which-path entangled state can be used for distributing entanglement between nodes in a quantum network, or for achieving optimal quantum-enhanced phase estimation in an interferometer using phase sensitive (rather than photon-number-resolving) measurements . Finally, I will also describe strategies for performing long-range "flying-cat" parity checks of distant stationary qubits using conditional phase shifts on propagating light pulses . This could allow for the implementation of distributed fault-tolerant quantum computing, or for the measurement based preparation of entangled resource states for quantum communication protocols. Z.

Leading a development team in an agile environment mirrors guiding the Fellowship of the Ring. Both require a clear vision, diverse skills, strong collaboration, adaptability to challenges, and a foundation of trust and respect. This talk will explore how principles from the Lord of the Rings can be applied to agile practices, illustrating how unity and perseverance drive successful development teams.

This session on reliability engineering/technology will focus on reliability engineering as an engineering discipline and profession that is critical for today's complex and critical systems, and reliability technology as a constantly evolving technology in electrical/electronic/mechanical system design and development. This session will also focus on the history of IEEE reliability standards and the latest standards being developed by IEEE to move reliability engineering and technology further. Examples of IEEE reliability standards will be provided. Also, excerpts from my first book, Design for Reliability (DfR), by Raheja and Gullo, will be provided.

Mathematical Artificial Intelligence By Prof. Shui Yu University of Technology Sydney Abstract： Artificial Intelligence is a leading topic in both academia and industry, and explainable AI (XAI) is a critical and hot topic of the field. However, we noticed that XAI is not the core of the business, and we expect deterministic AI models. In this talk, we will report the current landscape of XAI, and then introduce the next stage after XAI – Mathematical AI (MAI). We will mainly present how the mathematical tools, such as differential geometry and group theory, are used build deterministic AI models. At the end of the talk, we will present some cases of the application of MAI. We hope the talk will shed light on the promising field for interested audience. Speaker(s): Dr. Shui Yu Agenda: Friday, July 19, 2024 4:00pm - 5:15pm Pacific Time Seminar with Q&A A meeting link will be sent out to those who registered a few days ahead of the event. Any questions, please contact Dr. Zhensheng Zhang at [email protected] Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/426757

In this talk you will learn about the whole rational of company creation, its pros and cons and try to go into various metrics that show the extent of entrepreneurship in the USA and Canada. We will also address some key ideas that successful entrepreneurs use in their start up and growth phases. Can you be trained to be an entrepreneur? Let’s discuss that! We will examine what can go wrong and where the focus should be. What is nugatory effort? How do you find investors? Let’s dig together in what should be a very interactive discussion for the one hour scheduled. [] Speaker(s): , David Mann Room: RBCx Finance Quarter Room, 350 Legget Drive, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Space assets such as satellites, drones and spacecraft are increasingly attractive targets for adversaries ranging from individual hackers, to hacker groups and nation states. This rapid rise in the cyber threat landscape necessitates smarter cyber tools to stay ahead of our adversaries. In this talk, I will present the work being done by the Cyber Defense Engineering and Research (CDER) group at JPL in addressing cyber challenges as pertaining to JPL’s missions. I will specifically focus on our work combining model-based engineering and AI-based reasoning to build a unique capability for automated cyber risk assessments.

The latest McKinsey Global Survey on AI in May of 2024 concludes that 2023 was the year the world discovered generative AI (GenAI) and 2024 is the year organizations truly began using—and deriving business value from—this new technology. An incredible 65 percent of respondents report that their organizations are regularly using GenAI, which is nearly double the percentage from the previous survey just ten months before. Respondents’ expectations for gen AI’s impact remain as high with three-quarters predicting that gen AI will lead to significant or disruptive change in their industries in the years ahead. This session is an invaluable opportunity for business leaders like you to overcome your hesitation and uncertainty of AI. Mastering AI tools and techniques is not just about keeping pace with technology; it's about leveraging these advanced resources to fill in knowledge gaps, enhance decision-making, and drive productivity. Learning to utilize AI not only streamlines operations but also significantly boosts your capacity to deliver increased business outcomes, making you more valuable and a strategic asset to your organization. You will leave equipped with practical, actionable strategies that you can implement immediately, turning your uncertainty into confidence and empowering you to leverage AI effectively in your daily tasks.
