Introduction to Quantum Software Development Course
Introduction to Quantum Software Development Course
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.

Chiplet Design and Heterogeneous Integration Packaging
Chiplet Design and Heterogeneous Integration Packaging
Performance requirements for today’s semiconductor and optoelectronic devices are leading to shrinking geometries, more complex 3-dimensional structures, and new materials. High temperatures, hot spots and temperature spikes can have a major impact on reliability. It is essential that one have a thorough understanding of static and dynamic thermal performance under operating and static conditions. This has traditionally been complex, time consuming, and often lacked the resolution required to detect thermal anomalies that could lead to early device failures. Fortunately, advances in thermal imaging techniques that combine the benefits of thermoreflectance-based analysis with illumination wavelengths from near-ultraviolet to near infrared coupled with infrared thermography can support thermal, spatial, and transient resolution consistent with today’s advanced complex device structures and shrinking geometries. In addition, equipment has advanced to considerably reduce the time and cost to get accurate results. Many examples will be shared to fully illustrate the device thermal behaviors that can be detected with these advanced thermal analysis techniques.

The Computer and Control Chapter (C&C) Presents: The Best of Two Worlds – Edge and Cloud
The Computer and Control Chapter (C&C) Presents: The Best of Two Worlds – Edge and Cloud
Edge as well as cloud computing are becoming increasingly important for a growing number of industries. The most sensible strategy is to utilize the best of both technologies, since they optimally complement one another. Smart manufacturing does not simply mean collecting vast amounts of data with the help of sensors. Far more decisive is the ability to use that data to automatically generate information that helps improve production results. By combining both Edge and Cloud computing, data processed by edge computing can be used in the cloud to train AI algorithms. Speaker(s): Sanjay Kumar is a Senior Principal, Siemens IIot, Siemens Industry, Inc, Chris Liu is the Edge Product Marking Manager, Siemens Industry, Inc. Agenda: In this session you will learn: How Siemens Industrial Edge takes care of all data integration from the shop floor to the MindSphere cloud making live data access possible on every layer up to the cloud (bi-directional) How the combination of local data processing enabled by Industrial Edge, and processing in the cloud on MindSphere can be the optimal solution to open up enormous potential for industry And examples of Edge-to-Cloud Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/350921
Towards Low-Power and Internet-Scale Mixed Reality
Towards Low-Power and Internet-Scale Mixed Reality
Low power consumption and scalability are the key properties of augmented reality (AR) yet to be realized to attract more users and drive new applications. Towards low-power single-user AR, we develop a novel framework, MARLIN, which only uses a DNN as needed, to detect new objects or recapture objects that significantly change in appearance. When multiple AR users collaborate in a common space, we propose FreeAR that employs collaborative time slicing to distribute compute-heavy AR tasks such as SLAM and DNNs across devices, and leverages P2P communications for message exchanges, to achieve a low energy footprint without edge infrastructure. With cellular infrastructure, AR devices can communicate with cloud servers to offload heavy computations. However, we discover that when multiple users communicate over cellular networks, AR applications experience high latencies. We characterize and understand the root causes of high latencies and perform a first-of-its-kind measurement study. Based on the study, we propose network-aware and network-agnostic AR solutions that help ramp up AR goodput by ~40-70%.

AI and Education – Exploring Computational Approaches for Supporting Learning
AI and Education – Exploring Computational Approaches for Supporting Learning
This talk presents some research highlights at the intersection of AI and education. It is important, but challenging, to connect learners with information that is most effective for their learning goals. One process that combines technology and educational analysis may help: * create efficient search engine algorithms that tailor their results for a user's specific learning abilities and goals instead of generic relevance * predict the instructional value of content * develop empirical methods to get insight into what was learned Kevyn Collins-Thompson's University of Michigan team has explored these challenges through multiple projects: search engines that help people learn, algorithms to support vocabulary learning for both human and machine readers, and adaptive gaze-based technology for active learning while browsing. These efforts are cross-disciplinary and draw on insights from collaborators in cognitive psychology, computer science, and education.

Introduction to Neural Networks and Deep Learning (Part I)
Introduction to Neural Networks and Deep Learning (Part I)
Course Format: Live Webinar, 3 hours of instruction! Series Overview: From the book introduction: “Neural networks and deep learning currently provides the best solutions to many problems in image recognition, speech recognition, and natural language processing.” This Part 1 and the planned Part 2, (to be confirmed) series of courses will teach many of the core concepts behind neural networks and deep learning. This is a live instructor-led introductory course on Neural Networks and Deep Learning. It is planned to be a two-part series of courses. The first course is complete by itself and covers a feedforward neural network (but not convolutional neural network in Part 1). It will be a pre-requisite for the planned Part 2 second course. The class material is mostly from the highly-regarded and free online book “Neural Networks and Deep Learning” by Michael Nielsen, plus additional material such as some proofs of fundamental equations not provided in the book. More from the book introduction: Reference book: “Neural Networks and Deep Learning” by Michael Nielsen, (http://neuralnetworks/) and (http://deeplearning.com/) “We’ll learn the core principles behind neural networks and deep learning by attacking a concrete problem: the problem of teaching a computer to recognize handwritten digits. …it can be solved pretty well using a simple neural network, with just a few tens of lines of code, and no special libraries.” “But you don’t need to be a professional programmer.” The code provided is in Python, which even if you don’t program in Python, should be easy to understand with just a little effort. Benefits of attending the series: * Learn the core principles behind neural networks and deep learning. * See a simple Python program that solves a concrete problem: teaching a computer to recognize a handwritten digit. * Improve the result through incorporating more and more core ideas about neural networks and deep learning. * Understand the theory, with worked-out proofs of fundamental Pre-requisites: There is some heavier mathematics in learning the four fundamental equations behind backpropagation, so a basic familiarity with multivariable calculus and matrix algebra is expected, but nothing advanced is required. (The backpropagation equations can be also just accepted without bothering with the proofs since the provided Python code for the simple network just make use of the equations.) Basic familiarity with Python or similar computer language. Speaker(s): CL Kim, Boston, Massachusetts, United States, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/312967

Presentation on Software Defined Wireless Spectrum Servers
Presentation on Software Defined Wireless Spectrum Servers
Abstract: The advance of inexpensive software-defined radio modules, FFT and demodulation software libraries and low-cost servers (RasPi or Ubuntu Linux), enables the remote visualization, selection, and demodulation of RF signals. The history, SP theory, and architecture of this novel remote spectrum receiver will be covered and solutions demoed. What makes this discussed spectrum monitoring solution unique is that the User Interface is any (HTML5) standard web browser! The idea of a RF spectrum server on the internet technology was initially pioneered by the NSA to remotely capture and analyze transmissions of interest but this idea was prototyped at a fraction of the cost by DSP signals experts, and amateur radio club members at the University of Twente (The Netherlands) and fellow communications students, created WebSDR.org. This Linux-based application software was distributed to international experimenters and amateur radio enthusiasts, eager to see their transmitted signal power spectra at a distant location. .This was followed by a Hungarian engineering student, Andras.Retzler, who rewrote code and released his open-sourced version known as OpenWebRX (earned both his BSEE Senior Project and MSEE Thesis from this project).

A Simulation Perspective: Cross-Coupling Effects analysis of devices for advanced technological nodes
A Simulation Perspective: Cross-Coupling Effects analysis of devices for advanced technological nodes
The crescent demand for performance and speed of the integrated circuits has led the semiconductor industry to focus on the ever-increasing number of integrated devices in the same chip. Since the middle of the 60s’, this number has followed the Moore´s Law, which states that the number of integrated devices should double every two years. With the process of continuous dimensions reduction of the devices, degraded behavior arose due to a harmful effect called short channel effects, and also, silicon has reached its limits with respect to the devices’ shrinkage. To keep the continuous development, not only Moore´s law is observed to maintain the increase in devices’ integration in recent technologies, but also new interconnect and packaging schemes and new compact layout rules techniques have also become an interest in the research to maintain the development to supply the system´s demand. During the lecture, the characteristics of the coupling effects that can arise with the reduction of the distance between the devices will be outlined, aiming at an optimization of the space in the silicon wafer with a compact layout scheme.

Terra North Jersey STEM Fair – IEEE Young Engineer Award
Terra North Jersey STEM Fair – IEEE Young Engineer Award
The TNJSF (formerly the NJRSF) is a science fair competition for high school students (grades 9-12) for students in ten counties of northern New Jersey. The mission of the TNJSF is to support, encourage, and recognize student involvement in scientific researh and engineering design. It is our belief that students can only truly appreciate the creative nature of the process if they have actually experienced it themselves. In addition, we endeavor to provide resources which further this overarching goal, including giving students various opportunities to interact with professional scientists and engineers. The opportunity to partake of the TNJSF itself as well as other resources we offer is intended to be open to all high school students in our northern NJ region. IEEE volunteers are needed for Special Awards Judging at the Fair Special awards judging takes place on Saturday morning. Judges are asked to arrive at the judges' room by 9:00 a.m. to determine their project assignments with their team and to receive instructions from the Judging Coordinator. Judging of projects takes place from 9:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. During this time, judges will meet with students at their project displays and evaluate their work. At least 2 judges on the award team should see each project under consideration. At 12:00 p.m., the judges reconvene in the judges' room to discuss the projects and determine which projects will be awarded. Judging of special awards is usually completed by 1:00 p.m. Volunteers use the registration link. Kean University, 1000 Morris Ave, Union, New Jersey, United States, 07083

Professor Dr Baek-Young Choi: The Eyes Have It – liveness detection of mobile authentication & deepfake detection
IEEE NJ Coast PACE SIGHT Group, together with Computer Chapter and cosponsors present Professor Dr Baek-Young Choi. Title: The Eyes Have It Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss how eyes can be used for liveness detection of mobile authentication and deepfake detection. As the need for contactless biometric authentication becomes more significant during COVID-19 and beyond, the popular biometric authentication method for mobile devices, iris detection, and facial recognition confronts various usability, security, and privacy concerns, including mask-wearing and various Presentation Attacks (PA). Specifically, liveness detection against spoofed artifacts is one of the most challenging tasks as many existing methods cannot conclusively assess the user's physical presence in unsupervised environments. Even though several methods have been proposed for tackling PA with motion challenges and 3D mapping, most require expensive depth sensors and fail to detect sophisticated 3D reconstruction attacks. We present a software-based face PA Detection (PAD) method named, which creates challenges and detects meaningful corneal specular reflection responses from human eyes. To detect human liveness, our system generates multiple screen image patterns as a challenge, then captures the response of corneal specular reflections using a frontal camera and analyzes the images using lightweight Machine Learning (ML) techniques. Liveness detection system components include challenge pattern generation, reflection image augmentation (e.g., super-resolution), and ML-based analyses. We have implemented the system as Android, iOS, and web apps. Our extensive experimental results show that our scheme achieves liveness detection with high accuracy at around 200 ms against various types of sophisticated PAs. The liveness detection can be applied for multiple contactless biometric authentications accurately and efficiently without any costly extra sensors nor involving users' active responses. The second part is about deepfake detection through eyes and environment. Deepfake techniques presenting AI-generated fictitious facial images of people can negatively influence the authenticity of online information. Starting as benign mesmerizing memes, they can be used malignantly to originate deception, manipulation, persecution, and seduction, defying societal quality and human rights. However, due to the recent development of sophisticated deepfake generation technologies, it is getting harder to distinguish counterfeit images. Thus, instead of relying on a single aspect of the visual features, we detect various features from the specular reflection images such as color components, shapes, and textures to check the coordination with the surrounding environmental factors such as indoor/outdoor, bright/dark, backgrounds, and light strength. We have conducted extensive experiments to evaluate the performance of our method using various input parameters and advanced Deep Neural Network (DNN) architectures on multiple public DeepFake datasets. The empirical results show that our technique achieves high accuracy (99.0%) in detecting sophisticated deepfake images.

Women’s History Month Host Prof Dr Victor Lawrence Inclusion: Maternal Mortality & Morbidity
Women’s History Month Host Prof Dr Victor Lawrence Inclusion: Maternal Mortality & Morbidity
IEEE NJ Coast WIE, Computer Chapter, and PACE SIGHT Group Women's History Month Event: with Host Professor Dr Victor B Lawrence, IEEE Life Fellow. IEEE Standards Topic: Inclusion: Maternal Mortality & Morbidity Guest Panelists: Paula Muller, PhD, Baek-Young Choi, PhD, Mathini Sellathurai, PhD, Dr Haleema Yezdani MD, Fatimah Shehadeh-Grant, PhD, Dr Keith Thompson, MD, The Honorable Dr Duncan Rogers Lee, II (EdD, MBA, JD) Esq, Thomas M Willis, III PhD, Sampathkumar Veeraraghavan, Nicolai Solofnenko, Katherine Grace August, PhD Recently we have seen many news and research articles indicating Maternal Mortality and Morbidity is on the rise. Of note, racial disparity is continually on the rise. There may be some interaction with biomedical devices, algorithms, processes, and more. For example, we have learned about racial bias of using Pulse Oximeter devices to care for people with dark skin and pre-existing conditions resulting in delay in diagnosis, delay in care, missed allocation of resources, staff and equipment, poor outcomes, and harm to people including but not limited to morbidity and mortality. This has become dramatic during COVID-19. United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDG) Target 3.1 is to reduce the global maternal mortality ratio (MMR) to less than 70 per 100,000 live births. While global numbers have been steadily dropping for example, from 157.1 per 100.000 in 2020 to 158.8 in 2021, they remain approximately twice the Target; at the same time, MMR in the United States continues to climb with dramatic disparity for black, minorities, underrepresented mothers and their infants. In the US, overall MMR between 2018 - 2020 rose from 17.4 to 23.8 maternal mortalities per 100.000 live births; for black mothers, MMR rose from 37.3 to 55.3; for white mothers, MMR rose from 14.9 to 19.1; and for Hispanic mothers, MMR rose from 11.8 to 18.2. Most common indicators after delivery discharge of severe maternal morbidity (SMM) include: blood transfusion, pulmonary edema, acute heart failure, sepsis, adult respiratory distress syndrome, air and thrombotic embolism, eclampsia, puerperal cerebrovascular disorders, acute renal failure. These conditions are managed with devices, algorithms, processes. Outcomes are impacted by access to healthcare which is multidimensional. At this Event, Panelists bring together their observations and recommendations of the technical, regulatory and user community, research, literature, stakeholders, and healthcare to raise awareness, continually assess and address mechanisms of harm. Questions include: can Telehealth play a role in reducing healthcare access gaps and maternal mortality ratio? This is but one of many examples of ongoing multidimensional and systemic gender and racial bias at all phases of the innovation and technology life cycle, human interface, and outcomes. In addition, people with certain preexisting health conditions are not candidates for certain devices such as the Pulse Oximeter. There are racial, gender, language, cultural bias, and access to communication and information complicating the use-inspired challenges. They impact social determinants of health and disparities. They must be addressed when gathering teams, engaging stakeholders, gathering user needs, designing systems, designing studies, DEI of participation, research, publications, algorithms, devices, methods, updating after-market findings and data, training, follow-up, use in health and well-being, literacy training, access to healthcare, and more. Working with data from the past is not going to reduce racial bias, nor will it result in improved future algorithms, AI/ML, etc. Research and industry stakeholders should facilitate transparent design, improve communication and literacy of those who use devices, monitor and report how devices are used, and incorporate updated data, even small data, and experiences of users over time. We connect this effort to Humanitarian Activities, DEI, sustainability, resilience, UN Sustainable Development Goals, Social Determinants of Health. All that and world class technology solutions, too. Let's gather on the occasion of Women’s History Month (30 March 2023), to establish a plan to address our interest in reducing Maternal Mortality and Morbidity, impact of racial bias, and address how Pulse Oximetry devices and other health and wellness technologies, devices, AI/ML, algorithms, methods, etc. can be improved through transformative Standards and related activities. This meeting will provide an excellent opportunity to plan a Webinar, white paper, and future actions to advance technology for humanity.

Heterogeneous Integration to enable AI Architectures
Heterogeneous Integration to enable AI Architectures
Abstract: While silicon scaling has reached astonishing levels over the last half century, there has not been a corresponding level of scaling in electronic packaging technology. However, Artificial Intelligence (AI) architectures are now changing the landscape, increasingly moving us towards advanced packaging technology, especially Heterogeneous Integration (HI). What are these unique requirements of AI which are driving the need for HI? What are some of the unique challenges in semiconductor and packaging technologies that must be overcome to make this successful? This seminar will discuss key HI methods including interposers, fan out wafer level processing, silicon bridges, and 3D integration. We will look at their attributes as well as their challenges, to determine how they can be leveraged to achieve AI architectures.
