Speech title:Particle entanglement-based quantum computing and communication with agentic AI


Abstract: We will present our recently developed quantum particle entanglement-based quantum computing technology for building programmable quantum computer and quantum communication channel such as quantum 6G channel. The particle entanglement can be formed either between atom and photon or between photon and photon, which is easy for us to design simple angle-based algorithm to realize the calculation of addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division between two high-dimensional qubit-vectors with only single quantum operation. Newly designed encode-decode quantum transformer (Q-Transformer) together with CUDA-Q will also be presented for quantum-cloud computing and big model training with the aim to realize AGI through smart software and hardware AI agents. Related system management and dynamical scheduling policies for internal resources of a quantum computer or a quantum-cloud computing system to be used by multiple users will be trained with numerical simulations in a two-stage greedy competition and fairly optimal sharing way.

Speech title: The Role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Computer Vision


Abstract: 

The topic of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision is covered in this sharing session. Artificial intelligence is a technique that allows machines and computers to perform computer vision tasks intelligently. A subset of artificial intelligence (AI) called machine learning (ML) uses algorithms to provide AI applications. A subset of machine learning (ML) called deep learning (DL) is used to tackle increasingly challenging computer vision tasks. In this session, the significance of machine learning and deep learning for computer vision tasks such as object recognition, object localization, segmentation, detection, and classification of images is discussed. This session concludes with a demonstration of a small computer vision project that uses an AI tool to detect image edges.
