Technical Seminar by IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society Distinguished Lecturer, Dr. Tony Chan Carusone, with the following abstract:In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, chiplets are emerging as a transformative technology, paving the way for the next generation of AI systems. Chiplets permit the integration of more processing power within a single package, and allow for new connectivity solutions so that thousands of AI accelerators can work as a cohesive unit. Optical connectivity, facilitated by chiplets, offers high-speed data transmission with lower power consumption, crucial for handling the massive data loads in AI applications. The emerging chiplet ecosystem, underwritten by high-performance die-to-die interfaces, is throwing open the doors of innovation and facilitating the next wave of AI <a href="http://scaling.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="scaling.Speaker(s):">scaling.Speaker(s): Tony Chan Carusone, Room: 3038, Bldg: Macleod Building, 2356 Main Mall, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6T 1Z4

Speaker: Professeur Barry Sanders, University of CalgaryAbstract: Coherent states conveniently represent the classically meaningful wavelike states of light, as opposed to the corpuscular number states, but superposing coherent states is mind-bogglingly unclassical, including as examples "cat states", "comb states" and "compass states". I present a history of superposing coherent states, especially for oscillators (including electromagnetic field states) and for spin, and extend to entangled coherent states. I then show that superposed coherent states are a viable path for photonic quantum computing and for reaching towards the ultimate limits of sensing. Finally, I discuss our experimental realizations (at University of New South Wales) of superposed coherent states in a spin-7/2 Antimony nucleus in a silicon <a href="http://substrate.Short" target="_blank" title="substrate.Short">substrate.Short biography: Barry Sanders holds two Diplomas, a PhD and a DSc from Imperial College London and holds fellowships with Optica, the American Physical Society, the UK Institute of Physics and the Royal Society of Canada, and he received the 2022 City of Calgary International Achievement Award.

In Waterloo he is a Senior Fellow with the Canadian Centre for International Governance and Innovation and a Scholar with the Balsillie School of International Affairs. Prior to returning to the University of Calgary in 2003, he was professor & Head of Physics at Macquarie University and held distinguished international visiting positions in several countries. Sanders is an expert mentor for the Creative Destruction Labs in Toronto and Calgary and advisor for CERN’s Open Quantum Institute and for the Google-GESDA quantum computing XPrize. He is co-lead of the Canada-France CNRS International Research Network, a member of quantum and nano standards bodies, a deep-tech evaluator for funding agencies and for venture funds, a member of three editorial boards, and has trained a hundred graduate students and <a href="http://postdocs.Breakfast" target="_blank" title="postdocs.Breakfast">postdocs.Breakfast will be served!Co-sponsored by: OPTICA-SPIE Student Chapter at INRSRoom: Tudor Johnson, 1650 Boulevard Lionel-Boulet, Varennes, Quebec, Canada, J3X 1P7

This talk focuses on how AI and data science can be effectively applied to solve real problems in scientific and engineering contexts. It will cover practical examples of using machine learning for modeling and prediction, automating data analysis workflows, improving experimental design through data-driven insights, and communicating results clearly with visualization tools. Attendees will learn which AI and data skills are most valuable for research and industry, how to choose the right methods for their data, and what approaches truly make an impact in advancing innovation and <a href="http://efficiency.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="efficiency.Speaker(s):">efficiency.Speaker(s): Sylvie, 300 Ouellette Ave, University of Windsor- Advanced Hub, Windsor, Ontario, Canada

What is 3-MUC?The 3-MUC gives undergraduate students a chance to share an interesting piece of work they have accomplished and practice their communication skills. It follows the scope of the 3 minute thesis style, but relaxes the requirement for novel research to allow a broader section of the undergraduate student body to participate. As a successful applicant, you will prepare a 3 minute presentation about your work. You are only allowed one slide to accompany your presentation as a visual aid. You will present your work to a panel of judges who will select three winners based on our judgement criteria. The winners are invited to the annual Kingston IEEE banquet dinner, where they will be awarded their <a href="http://prize.Who" target="_blank" title="prize.Who">prize.Who can apply?All undergraduate students who have an interesting piece of work to share. For example, summer research students, QUIP interns, design team members. By no means is that an exhaustive list.
