Attend a virtual ML seminar: Title: Deep Neural Networks for Qubit Readout Time and date: Tuesday, Oct. 11, at 11 a.m. CDT Registration: Click here for the Zoom info; look for AI/ML Seminar Series (Services login required) Speaker: Benjamin Lienhard, Princeton University Abstract: Quantum computers hold the promise to solve specific problems significantly faster than classical computers. However, the quantum processor’s constituent components, control, and readout must be very well-calibrated to realize a practical quantum computer. Over the last few decades, infrastructure and protocols…
Attend the live webinar FNAL: Ultrafast Neural Networks for On-Detector Edge Processing in Resource-Constrained Extreme Radiation Environment on Sept. 20, from 10-11:30 a.m. PDT. Fermilab’s Farah Fahim, Giuseppe Di Guglielmo and Nhan Tran will demonstrate in a live webinar hosted by Siemens that a neural network autoencoder model can be implemented in a radiation-tolerant application-specific integrated circuit to perform lossy data compression alleviating the data transmission problem while preserving critical information of the detector energy profile. This AI algorithm enables…
