Quantum is a popular buzz word. Join us to gain an understanding of the foundations of quantum mechanics. Learn how quantum computing is evolving from a concept to a reality. Discuss the possibilities for and steps to reach a future where we can harness the properties of atomic particles. The Science on Tap program which IEEE NH supports has experts in their field come into a dinner/tavern venue, indroduce themsleves and the topic then take questions from persons in the audience. While you are not required to purchase drinks or dinner, they are available - registration is strongly recommended (these have been filling up the last few events), and arrival about 5:30 suggested if you want to order dinner.

Web-based Course with live Instructor! Times & Dates: 6 – 8PM ET, March 7, 9, 14, 16, 21, 23, 28, 30 Course Format: Live lectures interspersed with lab exercises in Visual Studio This course is organized by the MITRE Corporation and being offered as part of the IEEE Boston Section’s professional development program. Summary: In recent years, there has been an enormous surge of interest in quantum computing. Government, academic, and commercial organizations have spent billions of dollars attempting to create reliable, general-purpose quantum computers. These systems leverage the unusual properties of quantum mechanics to perform computations that could never be performed on conventional computers in our lifetime. Such calculations have a wide range of applications, including: • Breaking certain cryptographic algorithms • Engineering new materials • Simulating how systems behave in extreme environments • Finding new medicines that target specific diseases • Building secure transmission channels that cannot be eavesdropped How do quantum computers accomplish these bold claims? How could we use this technology to tackle our most difficult challenges? And how do programmers like you access it? In this course, we will explore the answers to these questions and help you unlock the ability to write quantum software and simulate quantum algorithms. Students should bring some basic programming experience and an open mind as we delve into a new computing paradigm. Target Audience: Practicing software engineers. Objective: Develop the practicable skills needed to implement and study quantum algorithms in software. Prerequisites: Students are assumed to have exposure to the following concepts:• Complex numbers • Vectors & Matrices • Bra-ket and tensor notation • Digital information • Endianness • Digital logic • Low- and high-level programming • Visual Studio Learning materials covering the course prerequisites will be provided in advance. This way, students can fill in any gaps in their knowledge and everyone starts on the same page on day 1. Outline: The course consists of live lectures interspersed with lab exercises in Visual Studio. All the materials are available in the form of an online course guide, so students can learn at their own pace both during and outside of class time. To mitigate technical difficulties, each student is provided remote access to a virtual machine with a preconfigured environment. The following topics are covered: • Qubits and quantum gates • Multi-qubit systems • Quantum circuits • Quantum protocols • Quantum algorithms • Q# programming The Visual Studio exercises are Q# operations that must be implemented correctly for a unit test to pass. This approach allows students to get immediate feedback on how well they understand a concept. We use the Discord platform as a course forum, where students can ask questions at any time and collaborate on solving the coding challenges. ©2021 The MITRE Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

MOVE is offering a 3-part, Virtual, Operations Class. This class is required for everyone interested in deploying on MOVE-1 or MOVE-2 truck or has a general interest in the program. It is required for new MOVE members and recommended as a refresher for those that have previously taken it. We discuss what to expect when deploying, what equipment is on the MOVE trucks and several safety procedures when working around the trucks. This is a virtual class that is broken up into 3 required 2-hour sessions. Now that MOVE has two trucks, differences between the trucks will be discussed. If you took this class prior to August 2022, there will be new material due to the 2nd truck differences. This is a 3-part virtual class. - Part 1: 28 Feb 2023 from 8:00-10:00 PM ET >> https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/346383 - Part 2: 07 Mar 2023 from 8:00-10:00 PM ET >> https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/346385 - Part 3: 14 Mar 2023 from 8:00-10:00 PM ET >> https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/346390 There will be a test after the third session - material will be provided for the test. Please use the above links to register for all three training sessions.
