SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2026 Ta-You Wu Lecture in Physics | From Prehistoric Qubits to Building a Useful Quantum Computer
DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid lecture. Join us in person at Rackham Amphitheatre (4th Floor) or via livestream: https://myumi.ch/d8Q7X\n\nIn the span of four decades\, quantum computation has evolved from an intellectual curiosity to a potentially realizable technology. I will describe my thesis work on macroscopic quantum tunneling and energy-level quantization that led to the Nobel Prize\, as well as several other important experiments that advanced superconducting qubits.  Nevertheless\, the path toward a full-stack scalable technology is a work in progress. There are significant outstanding quantum hardware\, fabrication\, architecture\, and algorithmic challenges that must be solved. Here\, we show how the road to scaling could be paved by adopting existing semiconductor technology to build much higher-quality qubits and employing system engineering approaches.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AI Clinic Lab | Navigating Technological Shifts: Build\, Adapt\, and Drive the Next Era of Tech (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an AMA with Tarun Bhatnagar\n\nWe strongly encourage local attendees to attend in-person.\n\n---------\n\nTechnological disruption isn't new—and historically\, every major inflection point has opened up bigger opportunities for technology and information students. Join University of Michigan Computer Engineering alum and Chicago Booth MBA product leader for an honest conversation on navigating career shifts in a changing landscape. Drawing from three decades of building global platforms—from scaling Google Maps to launching modern FinTech infrastructure—he’ll break down how information roles are moving toward versatile generalists\, why sharp critical thinking and resilience matter more than any single tool\, and where the most exciting new roles are emerging. Bring your questions on product strategy\, technological disruption\, and what it takes to persevere through industry change.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CCMB/DCMB Weekly Bioinformatics Seminar Series featuring Luis Zaman\, PhD (Assistant Professor of Complex Systems and  EEB\, U-M)
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Luis Zaman’s research spans several disciplines to answer fundamental questions about how evolution works. While he often approaches questions from an experimentalist’s perspective\, work in his lab relies on a mixture of computational\, mathematical\, and microbial systems. He is predominantly drawn to understanding host-parasite coevolution because the constant push-and-pull of antagonistic interactions emphasizes the dynamic and interdependent nature of biological evolution. These antagonistic interactions have been implicated in large-scale evolutionary patterns\, such as diversification\, sexual reproduction\, and increasing organismal complexity. How coevolution is further influenced by such large-scale patterns presents problems that orient the lab’s long-term goals.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Exponential Rank Bounds for Random Matrices
DESCRIPTION:A basic question in random matrix theory is how likely a matrix is to have a large rank. For many classical models\, this probability decays extremely quickly\, but the strongest results often rely on the entries being identically distributed. In this talk\, I will discuss how to obtain the same exponential scale for matrices with fully independent\, non-identically distributed entries under only a uniform anti-concentration assumption and explain the main ideas that make this possible.
