SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantum Research Institute |  Learning from Quantum Experiments via Structured Signal Processing
DESCRIPTION:In-Person: West Hall 411\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/98748463202?jst=2\n\nAbstract:\nThe pursuit of quantum advantage in solving large-scale computational problems is often seen as a shining treasure. Achieving this goal\, however\, requires the accurate realization of smaller-scale quantum gates and control operations. Understanding and characterizing modular gate and control errors is therefore essential for building reliable quantum applications. Earlier work has typically pursued either universal algorithms with theoretical guarantees or black-box engineering approaches with no guarantees. Yet\, problem-specific structures offer opportunities for efficient and robust system characterization at the intersection of theory and practice. In this talk\, I will present how structured signal transformation and processing can be used to exploit such structures. I will first introduce a gate characterization method that is both resource-efficient and robust against complex experimental errors\, drawing parallels to parameter estimation in classical statistics. I will then generalize this idea to functional signals and present a novel non-parametric estimation paradigm.\n\nBio:\nYulong Dong is an Assistant Professor in ECE\, with a courtesy appointment in Mathematics\, at the University of Michigan. He earned his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from UC Berkeley in 2023. Before joining UMich\, he worked as a research intern at Google Quantum AI\, then as a research scientist at ByteDance AI Lab in California\, and subsequently at the University of Washington. His research focuses on numerical analysis\, optimization\, and quantum computing\, with particular emphasis on quantum algorithms for scientific computing and high-precision quantum learning and sensing. His work not only provides rigorous theoretical results but also maintains close connections to practical applications. More broadly\, his research aims to bridge quantum computing with applied mathematics and information theory by addressing challenging problems in quantum algorithms and sensing from numerical-analysis and information-theoretic perspectives.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ChE SEMINAR: Millie Sullivan\, University of Delaware
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\nNucleic acid cargoes offer unmatched diversity in gene regulatory potential and therapeutics\, and understanding of nucleic acid functionality continues to expand rapidly and dramatically through seminal discoveries including RNA interference approaches and gene editing technologies.  In nature\, the basis for gene regulation is ultimately encoded by the exquisite specificity with which cells are able to control both the location and accessibility of nucleic acid constructs to govern their activation states.  My research program seeks to understand and control gene activation using synthetic constructs through nature-inspired approaches to control and quantify cell binding interactions and stability in polymer and peptide nanocarriers.  The basis of our approaches is the design of stimuli-responsive polymers and peptides whose interactions with nucleic acids and cells can be controlled dynamically by specific intracellular or external triggers.  We exploit our ability to control nucleic acid binding/release and cellular processing to gain new mechanistic insights over nucleic acid delivery\, leading to design advances including histone-inspired DNA targeting\, light-responsive gene silencing\, and collagen turnover-stimulated gene expression.  This talk will highlight ways we have used nature-inspired peptides and responsive polymers to control gene transfer in regenerative medicine.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Katz-Newcomb Lecture | The socioecological psychology of curiosity: Specialization and its discontent.
DESCRIPTION:Division of labor (specialization) is widely considered a cornerstone of modern productivity\, yet its potential psychological costs are not well understood. We examined whether division of labor reduces curiosity–the motivation to explore and learn new things. Across four experiments (N = 821)\, participants who work\, or are expected to work\, in divided labor settings showed lower curiosity than those who work in undivided settings. Analyses of three large cross-sectional datasets and one longitudinal panel (N = 320\,119) showed that similar patterns generalized across countries\, industries\, economic contexts\, and personality profiles. Together\, these findings suggest that\, as work becomes more divided\, people’s motivation to explore and learn new things may diminish.\n\nAbout the speaker: Shigehiro Oishi is the Marshall Field IV Distinguished Service Professor of Psychology at the University of Chicago. His research focuses on culture\, social ecology (e.g.\, residential mobility\, walkability\, income inequality)\, and well-being (e.g.\, happiness\, meaning in life\, psychological richness). He is an author of Life in Three Dimensions (Doubleday/Penguin-Random house) and 「幸せを科学する」”Doing The Science of Happiness” Shinyosha\, Tokyo\, Japan. He won the 2017 Society of Experimental Social Psychology Career Trajectory Award\, the 2018 Carol and Ed Diener Award in Social Psychology from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology\, and the 2021 Outstanding Achievement Award for Advancing Cultural Psychology. He is a member of the American Academy of the Arts and Sciences.
