SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantum Research Institute | Quantum computers and their potential to enable scientific discovery
DESCRIPTION:In-person: Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project\, 2301 Bonisteel Blvd\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109\, USA\, PML2000\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/98530700330?jst=2\n\nAbstract:\nQuantum technologies are advancing rapidly with a pathway to scientific discovery and quantum utility by 2030 for the Department of Energy community. Harnessing quantum technologies as they scale up will require next-generation software and integration with HPC and AI. Software frameworks to couple HPC and AI to quantum computers\, as well as connecting end users to such a hybrid computing environment will be essential to ensure the technology can be harnessed optimally to deliver on industry and scientific discovery needs. I will show research progress and discuss the opportunities for scientific advantage for quantum technologies and potential pathways to integrate HPC\, AI and networking.\n\nShort bio:\nBert de Jong is the Director of the Quantum Systems Accelerator\, which is part of the National Quantum Initiative. Additionally\, de Jong is the Team Director of the Accelerated Research for Quantum Computing (ARQC) Team MACH-Q\, funded by DOE ASCR\, which focuses on developing software stacks for near-term quantum computing devices. Additionally\, de Jong has a program in AI and machine learning to understand biomolecular processes\, and discover new materials and molecular crystals for gas adsorption. de Jong serves as the Department Head for Computational Sciences and leads the Applied Computing for Scientific Discovery Group. This group advances scientific computing by developing and enhancing applications in key disciplines\, as well as developing HPC\, quantum and AI tools and libraries for addressing general problems in computational science.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:[Cancelled] Carillon Lesson\, open to public observation
DESCRIPTION:*This event has been cancelled due to weather. We apologize for any inconvenience.*\n\nThe Charles Baird Carillon is an instrument of 53 bronze bells located inside the Burton Memorial Tower. The largest bell\, which strikes the hour\, weighs 12 tons\, while the smallest bell\, 4½ octaves above\, weighs just 15 pounds.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Charles Baird Carillon at noon every weekday that classes are in session\, followed by visitor Q&A with the carillonist. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs. Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8)\, and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Hearing protection earmuffs are provided for visitors. Be prepared to walk on ice and snow in the bell chamber during winter. Built in 1936\, the Charles Baird Carillon is not ADA accessible. Visitors with mobility concerns are invited to visit the Lurie Carillon.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar by Haoran Li
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nRNA sequencing has been widely applied for gene isoform quantification\, but limitations exist in quantifying isoforms of complex genes accurately\, especially for short reads. Here we identify genes that are difficult to quantify accurately with short reads and illustrate the information benefit of using long reads to quantify these regions. We present miniQuant\, which ranks genes with quantification errors caused by the ambiguity of read alignments and integrates the complementary strengths of long reads and short reads with optimal combination in a gene- and data-specific manner to achieve more accurate quantification. These results are supported by rigorous mathematical proofs\, validated with a wide range of simulation data\, experimental validations and more than 17\,000 public datasets from GTEx\, TCGA and ENCODE consortia. We demonstrate miniQuant can uncover isoform switches during the differentiation of human embryonic stem cells to pharyngeal endoderm and primordial germ cell-like cells.\n\nAbout the DCMB Tools & Technology Seminar Series\n\nThe DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar Series is held in Medical Science Building 1 (MS1)\, Room 4B700\, each Thursday at 12pm EST. Each seminar highlights a computational tool\, technology\, or methodology that is under development or in current use and is of special interest to DCMB and University researchers. Presenters are U-M researchers and students.\n\nThese seminars are live-streamed and recorded and made available for future viewing via the DCMB YouTube Channel

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Revolutionary Paine: Andy Murphy Student-Curated Class Exhibit Common Sense
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense” was one of the most influential works of the American Revolution. The first edition was published on January 10\, 1776\, with an initial print run of just 1\,000 copies\; but within weeks demand soared. The students of Andy Murphy’s POLISCI 495 course co-curated the exhibition “Revolutionary Paine” to document the whirlwind caused by its publication. On view at the Clements January 16-May 8\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.
