Our Southern MN IEEE section is promoting a virtual meeting being hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Lacrosse MTT-S Student Chapter --------------------------------------------------------------- Quantum Computing: What is it, how does it work, and what are the opportunities for microwave engineers? IEEE Distinguished Microwave Lecture (DML) Series Speaker: Dr. Joe Bardin Date: December 4, 2025 Time: 3:00 PM CST Host: UWL-IEEE MTT-S Student Chapter Abstract: Quantum computing offers the potential for an exponential speed-up of certain classes of computational problems, and, as such, the development of a practical quantum computer has been a field of intense research over the past two decades. Yet, it is still early in the development of these systems, as we have just reached the point at which laboratory experiments have shown that quantum computers can outperform classical computers at certain computational tasks. As such, it is an exciting time in the field, analogous to the early days of classical computer development. As microwave engineers there is a tremendous opportunity to contribute to quantum computing, as the control and measurement of most quantum processors is carried-out using microwave techniques. In this talk, I will describe the use of microwaves in quantum computing, with a focus on the superconducting qubit technology which was used to show that a quantum computer is capable of post-classical computation. The talk will be geared toward microwave engineers with no background in quantum computing and will provide a glimpse into the fundamentals, contemporary system architectures, recent experiments, and, finally, major microwave challenges that must be overcome if fault tolerant quantum computing is to become a reality. While the “quantum” aspects of quantum computing will be described, the deeper technical discussion will focus on the specification and design of the microwave control and measurement systems required to operate these systems, using Google’s state-of-the-art Sycamore quantum computer as an example. Ongoing research in scalable control and measurement electronics will also be described. Agenda: Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/516822 |

The annual Science Talk and Movie Night is back for 2025, and if you have interests in science, engineering, special effects, and/or modeling, then you may find this event particularly exciting! We will be hosting a science and engineering talk by Stephen J. Murphy, Ph.D., the director of Mayo Clinic's Genome Analysis Core, that will be followed by a screening of National Geographic's Blink. This event is organized through collaboration with three local organizations (Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Mayo Clinic IEEE Biomedical Engineering and Medicine, and the Mayo Clinic Graduate School) and is open to all in our community with no cost to the attendees. Event details are delineated below: Please fill out this RSVP form to attend this event, and feel free to reach out with any questions. Abstract: 350 million people live with an undiagnosed disease worldwide. Genome sequencing can provide answers for 40% of the People Living With Undiagnosed Disease (PLWUD) but around 60% still don’t receive a diagnosis. The purpose of the Undiagnosed Hackathon is trying to find new ways and collaborations to solve the undiagnosed diseases that can’t be solved today. In this unique event multidisciplinary teams of clinicians, bioinformaticians, molecular biologists, scientists, developers, AI specialists and brilliant minds will work together to tackle the most difficult diseases. The 2025 Undiagnosed Hackathon was hosted by Mayo Clinic. https://wilhelmfoundation.org/undiagnosed-hackathon https://undiagnosedhackathon.org/information Blink When three of their four children are diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a rare and incurable disease that leads to severe visual impairment, the Pelletier family’s world changes forever. In the face of this life-altering news, Edith Lemay, Sébastien Pelletier and their children set out on a trip around the world to experience all its beauty while they still can. As they fill their memories with breathtaking destinations and once-in-a-lifetime encounters, the family’s love, resilience and unshakeable sense of wonder ensure that their uncertain future does not define their present. https://films.nationalgeographic.com/blink A map of where to park, and map of where to enter the building are found at the end of this form. Speaker(s): Stephen J. Murphy, Ph.D., Agenda: When: Monday, December 15th from 6:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. 6:00-6:30 PM: Food and introductions 6:30-7:30 PM: Science/engineering talk from Christian Hanson 7:30-8:30 PM: Movie screening Room: Mann Hall, Bldg: Medical Sciences Building, 300 3rd Ave SW, Rochester, Minnesota, United States, 55902, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/519979 |
