Physics Colloquium: Modeling bipartite networks in a negatively curved space

Physics Colloquium: Modeling bipartite networks in a negatively curved space

Wednesday, February 8, 2023 - 4:00 pm

Dr. Aleksander Poleksic

UNI Computer Science Department

Abstract

Accurate embedding of a complex network in a metric space (a space equipped with a distance function) is of critical importance in nearly all downstream machine learning tasks, such as classification, clustering, regression, and probabilistic inference. State-of-the-art machine learning methods typically use the Euclidean (flat) space as the native space of complex networks. This approach has been questioned by recent theoretical studies that claim that complex systems reside in a space of negative Gaussian curvature. Building upon those ideas, we propose a methodology for accurate embedding of a bipartite network into the hyperbolic space. We demonstrate that our technique leads to improved prediction of associations between network objects, while lowering the embedding dimension by more than an order of magnitude compared to the existing approaches.

“Séance: Photographs by Shannon Taggart”

Tuesday, January 17, 2023 - 10:00 am to Friday, February 24, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Organized by the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, in collaboration with the Pensacola Museum of Art. For the past twenty years American artist Shannon Taggart (born 1975 and based in St. Paul, MN) has documented contemporary Spiritualist practices and communities in the United States, England, and Europe.

There will be a lecture by Taggart on Wednesday, February 8 at 6:00 p.m. in KAB 111. A book signing and opening reception will follow. Sponsored in part by The North America Review. Selections from Taggart's book Séance are featured in the Fall 2022 issue of the North American Review, which has been housed at the University of Northern Iowa since 1969.

“Séance: Photographs by Shannon Taggart”

“Séance: Photographs by Shannon Taggart”

Tuesday, January 17, 2023 - 10:00 am to Friday, February 24, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Organized by the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, in collaboration with the Pensacola Museum of Art. For the past twenty years American artist Shannon Taggart (born 1975 and based in St. Paul, MN) has documented contemporary Spiritualist practices and communities in the United States, England, and Europe. The resulting body of work examines the relationship of Spiritualism to human celebrity, its connections to art, science, and technology, and its intrinsic bond with the medium of photography. There will be a lecture by Taggart on Wednesday, February 8 at 6:00 p.m. in KAB 111. A book signing and opening reception will follow. Sponsored in part by The North America Review. Selections from Taggart's book Séance are featured in the Fall 2022 issue of the North American Review, which has been housed at the University of Northern Iowa since 1969. Gallery Hours: Mon.-Fri., 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Physics Colloquium: Revealing Possible Coherence Limiting Sources in Superconducting Qubit with Advanced Electron Microscopy

Physics Colloquium: Revealing Possible Coherence Limiting Sources in Superconducting Qubit with Advanced Electron Microscopy

Wednesday, February 22, 2023 - 4:00 pm

Dr. Lin Zhou
Iowa State University

Superconducting materials hold great potential for solid-state quantum computing. The fabrication of superconducting qubits takes advantage of well-developed semiconductor fabrication technology, such as thin film deposition and lithography. However, the complex processing steps introduce defects at the interfaces and surfaces of the qubits that may be a source of two-level system (TLS) detrimental to the device's coherence time. Thus, identifying and understanding structural features down to the atomic scale that act as possible TLS in both the Josephson junction and resonators is key to superconducting qubit performance improvement.  

Advanced electron microscopy techniques, such as (scanning) transmission electron microscopy, with its many different operation modes for imaging, diffraction, and spectroscopy, have become indispensable for simultaneous structure, chemistry, and internal magnetic/electric/strain field probing down to the atomic level. This talk will present our recent studies on the microstructure in 2D-transmon and 3D-Nb cavities. A combination of advanced microscopy techniques, including in-situ heating, high resolution (S)TEM imaging, and spectroscopy (EDS and EELS), is used to identify possible TLS sources. Insights for future coherence time improvement in superconducting qubit will be briefly discussed.
