This talk explores two key directions: (a) scaling quantum communication networks (QCNs) and (b) designing quantum-native reinforcement learning algorithms. Scaling QCNs across nodes and geographies remains a critical challenge for realizing a quantum Internet (QI) that integrates quantum security, computing, and machine learning. We examine quantum repeater networks (QRNs), that form the backbone for large-scale QCNs, with a focus on how to scale repeater counts and spacing to manage probabilistic entanglement operations while maintaining quality-of-service. We then investigate free-space optical (FSO) quantum channels, where reflective intelligent surfaces (RISs) can mitigate environmental obstacles in settings lacking conventional infrastructure. Beyond connectivity, enabling effective collaboration among distributed artificial intelligence (AI) agents emerges as a second major challenge—one where quantum technologies can offer transformative advantages. Existing multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) methods, including recent quantum MARL frameworks, typically rely on classical information exchange, limiting scalability and efficiency. To overcome this, we introduce entangled quantum multi-agent reinforcement learning (eQMARL): a quantum-native AI framework where quantum entanglement forms the core mechanism for coordination. In eQMARL, a quantum-entangled split critic links local observation encoders via entangled qubits, removing the need for explicit data sharing and reducing classical communication overhead. Joint quantum measurements enable coordinated policy updates with far fewer centralized parameters. Experiments show that eQMARL improves convergence tiem and achieves higher scores than classical and quantum baselines, and reduces centralized parameters significantly compared to the split classical baseline. We conclude the talk with an overview on important open problems in these areas, as well as some of our ongoing research <a href="http://activities.Virtual:" target="_blank" title="activities.Virtual:">activities.Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/499855

Rescheduled Webinar for October 14th at 5:30 - 6:30 pmJoin this free Webinar hosted by Winnipeg IEEE Young Professionals Alumni Andrew Fisher!Title: Understanding LLMs in Education: Unlocking Opportunities and Navigating ChallengesAbstract: Large language model (LLM) platforms such as ChatGPT are changing how we learn and teach. From helping personalize lessons to making learning more accessible and engaging, these tools are becoming a growing part of the classroom. In this session, we will break down how LLMs work, explore what they can do in education, and discuss some of the key ethical questions they raise. The presentation will also introduce a skill called prompt engineering, which is the process of asking the right questions or giving clear instructions to get useful responses from LLMs. Attendees will see how small changes in wording can lead to very different results, whether you’re planning a lesson, creating study guides, or explaining complex ideas more clearly. This includes using LLMs as agents, where the technology follows structured prompts to complete a series of tasks toward a specific goal. To conclude, you will get hands-on experience with ChatGPT in an interactive activity. Together, we will explore what it does well, where it struggles, and how you can use it effectively in your own learning or future teaching. By the end of the session, you will leave with practical tips for using LLMs responsibly, as well as the confidence to start crafting better prompts that work for <a href="http://you.Virtual:" target="_blank" title="you.Virtual:">you.Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/495806

The operation of Power Systems relies on measurements of non-electric and electric quantities, which are essential for control, monitoring and protection. Among the measurements of electric quantities are voltage, current, frequency, active and reactive power and energy, and other derived quantities, under both sinusoidal and distorted voltage and current conditions. The revenue metering entails measurements of electric energy and power, and is important for power system economics. A concept of transactive energy combines economic and control techniques and is introduced and used for improving the efficiency and reliability of a more intelligent and interactive Power System. Smart Grid aims at the increase of efficiency, reliability, security, and integration of Renewable Energy Sources into the Power System. Smart Meters, with their two-way communications allowing for reading and control, are one of the basic tools for the Smart Grid introducing at the same time new dynamics into the system and raising privacy issues. With the proliferation of power electronics and increasing presence of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and EV Infrastructure, Power Quality measurements with increasing penetration of higher harmonics are necessary and widespread. In this talk, the measurements with and the calibrations of conventional voltage and current instrument transformers (ITs), electronic voltage and current transformers (EVTs and ECTs) and non-conventional instrument transformers (NCITs) will be discussed. Measurements of losses in power transformers, electrical machines and other equipment important for the efficiency of power transmission, as well as synchrophasor measurements used in for wide-area protection, control and monitoring (WAPCAM) and situational awareness will be discussed as <a href="http://well.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="well.Speaker(s):">well.Speaker(s): Branislav, Room: ASB 9896, Bldg: Applied Sciences Building, Simon Fraser University, 8888 Univeristy Drive, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, V5A 1S6
