Mapping for Impact in a Changing California About the Talk: Many of the natural resource challenges we face today around food, water, equity, energy, invasive species, fire, climate change, biodiversity – are complex problems that impact diverse public groups across multiple scales - and they require a spatial approach to make an impact.

Abstract Veridical data science is important because it extracts reliable and reproducible information from data, with an enriched technical language to communicate and evaluate empirical evidence in the context of human decisions and domain knowledge. Building and expanding on principles of statistics, machine learning, and the sciences, we propose the predictability, computability, and...

In this talk we present recent progress towards large-scale quantum photonic processors and demonstrate how such systems enable new applications at the nexus of quantum mechanics and machine learning.

In this talk I will present an elementary introduction to quantum error correction. I will then introduce a new type of qubit called the Schrödinger cat qubit which is realized in a driven non-linear oscillator.

Algorithmic and artificial intelligence techniques show immense potential to deepen our understanding of socioeconomic inequality and inform interventions designed to improve access to opportunity. Interventions aimed at historically under-served communities are made particularly challenging by the fact that disadvantage and inequality are multifaceted, notoriously difficult to measure, and...

The data economy is a rising ecosystem in which data are produced, distributed, and consumed at an unprecedented scale. On the one hand, the current data economy creates new levels of prosperity by driving rapid advances in machine learning and automation. On the other hand, it has some fundamental challenges that need to be addressed. First and foremost, how much is data worth? Data is valuable,...

In the first part of the talk, we discuss our work efficient utilization of non-equilibrium electrons. We show that by carefully considering scattering, transport, and transfer rates, hot electron devices can be rationally designed and implemented.
