This talk introduces the exciting potential, basic principles, and significant technical challenges of practical quantum computation. The emphasis is on the fundamental role of microwaves and microwave engineering in the design and physical realization of quantum technologies. The emergence of a new “quantum engineering” discipline represents an exciting opportunity for the present and next generation of physical scientists, computer scientists, and microwave engineers.Please click the link for registration for attending the webinar: (https://event.on24.com/wcc/r/3164012/F0A56160CA6D62535C9EA2C60AD9299B)Title: What Every Microwave Engineer Should Know About Quantum ComputingDate: Tuesday, December 14, 2021Time: 12:00 PM Eastern Standard TimeDuration: 1 hourCo-sponsored by: IEEE North Jersey SectionSpeaker(s): Dr. David E.

Abstract: Cities around the world are, more and more, aiming at becoming a smart city. But what is a smart city? What is behind the concept: a trendy term or real implementation? What does therefore becoming smart entail and what type of initiatives and technologies can make a city smart(er)? During this presentation, all these questions will be discussed, taking into account that a smart city is a multi-dimensional and multi-stakeholder phenomenon that requires decisions about goals (the vision), tools (the technology), and processes (among other, the engagement of citizens and other stakeholders).Bio: Carlos E.

On Thursday, December 16, 2021, the (https://www.TechnologyOnTap.org) will host Part 2 of a presentation on “New audio/video/wireless technologies for Home Entertainment”. Please (https://www.technologyontap.org/event/new-audio-video-wireless-technologies-for-home-entertainment---part-2/) to receive a link to the meeting.About the TopicHDTV, UHDTV, HDR, HEVC, NextGenTV … what’s it all about? This two-part series will describe what these technologies are, and how to sift through all of it. Understand how audio and video devices in your home and in your hand can now deliver content in a near-reality fashion by both wired and wireless means.Part 1 will discuss new audio/video technologies, and Part 2 will cover wired and wireless media, including cable, satellite, and the new NextGenTV system for over-the-air content delivery.About the Speaker(https://www.linkedin.com/in/acugnini/) is well known in the Digital Television (DTV) industry, and has clients that include Philips, ONEMedia, and WNET-13. Prior to launching (https://www.agcsystems.tv/), he held various technical and management positions at Philips Electronics’ Research and Consumer Electronics Divisions, and at interactive television systems developer ACTV. While at Philips, Aldo had a leadership role in the development of the ATSC digital television system (and its progenitor, the “Grand Alliance” digital HDTV system), and was a key member of the Advanced Television Research Consortium (ATRC) HDTV development team.Agenda: IntroductionSpeaker PresentationQuestionsNetworkingVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/287385
