SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Probability and Analysis Seminar: Tightness of and counterexamples to several quantum estimates
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Recently the TCS query learning ala Nisan--Mansur--Linial got the boost from a harmonic analysis random algorithm. This problem has a non-commutative version where one needs to learn a very big matrix (so-called d-local hamiltonians) from  a few random queries.\nThe corresponding harmonic analysis results have a drawback that it is still not known how tight they are. We will discuss this and show tightness for some of them. Interestingly\, one such tightness result is closely related to Einstein--Podolsky--Rosen paradox from quantum mechanics. On a close issue: arguably the main problem in understanding the speed up  of quantum algorithms versus classical ones for a certain collection of problems (called Aaronson--Ambainis conjecture and still open) will be discussed too if time permits.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantitative propagation of chaos and universality for asymmetric Langevin spin glass dynamics
DESCRIPTION:We obtain quantitative estimates on quenched propagation of chaos for Langevin spin glass dynamics with i.i.d. disorder. Prior work in the case of Gaussian disorder established the qualitative convergence of the law of a single spin to a deterministic McKean--Vlasov limit. We prove convergence rates in expected Wasserstein distance and quantitative concentration rates for Lipschitz observables under the assumption that the disorder satisfies the T_2 inequality. The proof uses a coupling argument\, together with techniques from concentration of measure\, filtering theory\, and Malliavin calculus.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:2026 ECE Open House
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to join Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) as we host the 2026 ECE Open House! You’ll learn more about the Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering majors\, hear about the opportunities available to ECE students\, and see some of the labs used in undergraduate EECS classes.So what exactly do electrical and computer engineers do? We do everything! We are there in all electronic devices (cell phones\, computers\, cars\, appliances\, etc). We are in electronic communication\, networking\, power\, energy\, sensors\, and much more. We make things smart – we make them move. We send and decode information – we connect people and things. And we light up the world – efficiently\, of course!Dinner will be provided to those who RSVP.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SAPAC GROWE: Engendering Respectful Communities Workshops - SY26 - 27
DESCRIPTION:Engendering Respectful Communities (ERC) is a one session workshop that engages graduate students in meaningful dialogue about various forms of sexual misconduct they may encounter in both professional and social spaces\, and provides resources for intervention or support in such circumstances.The primary goal of the workshop is to address complexities experienced by graduate students as they engage in bystander intervention\, so that participants gain an increase in awareness of barriers to action and familiarity with strategic planning to overcome them. The workshop also introduces participants to on-campus resources and provides knowledge on how sexual misconduct can unfold in graduate-specific settings.The ERC workshop uses small-group circles intended to promote active reflection and space to build community. The procedure of circles is introduced at the beginning of the workshop in order to help participants get used to the process\, which they do through a circle for introductions and value-sharing for the workshop space. These circles depict various\, realistic scenarios related to sexual misconduct within the graduate community. The circle process allows circle members to process the monologues\, reflect on complexities with identity and power dynamics within them\, name potential barriers to intervention\, and think of various ways in which they might respond if faced with similar situations. The circles provide a way to foster collective building of ideas\, where participants learn from one another and all input is equally valued. Participants are encouraged to share but can always pass if desired\, creating an environment where participation is open but not forced. Due to the participatory nature of the workshop\, if you are to arrive more than 20 minutes late\, we will ask you to re-register for another workshop session.If you have any questions about or concerns with taking this workshop\, or are in need of an exemption\, please contact jhippe@umich.edu or fill out this form. We know some students come to campus having already experienced harm. If you have circumstances that make completing this course challenging\, please reach out to the GROWE team. SAPAC GROWE provides exemptions to the ERC workshop (where requirements are set in place) on a case by case basis. The Program Manager will communicate with students requesting exemptions via email and/or meet with students via zoom meetings to discuss their need for exemptions and provide any relevant and necessary resources.
