Student Activity
ASBME E-Board Applications: Run for a position for 2011-2012!
DEADLINE: April 2nd, 1PM
E-Board Applications are now out for the 2011-2012 school year!
We hope you have enjoyed being a part of ASBME this past year, and if you would like to help improve it even more next year, we highly encourage you to run for a position by filling out this application: https://spreadsheets.google.com/a/usc.edu/viewform?formkey=dHRrTnR0Z01xOC0zdnpuek5VUmZXR1E6MQ
The current E-board has put together a list of E-Board position responsibilities (on our website: http://viterbistudents.usc.edu/asbme/), so that you can determine which one(s) fit you best.
The application is due Saturday, April 2nd by 1pm. We greatly look forward to the opportunity to have you be a part of next year's ASBME E-Board team, and we will be sending out election logistics in one week after applications have closed.Audiences: Everyone Is Invited

Quantum Engineering
Fri, Apr 01, 2011 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Sergio Boixo, Harvard University
Talk Title: Quantum Engineering
Abstract: Quantum engineering is the direct use of quantum mechanics to improve some aspect of an engineering task beyond what is possible using classical physics. Out of the many facets of quantum engineering I will focus on three: measurement (quantum metrology), communication and adiabatic quantum computation. I will emphasize devices currently being tested. We proposed recently a general method for quantum metrology which uses quantum interactions to increase the sensitivity of high-precision measurements. This method has now been demonstrated experimentally, and the number of applications is growing. Adiabatic quantum computation has inspired a new type of processor currently under development.
Biography: Sergio Boixo is currently a postdoc at the Aspuru-Guzik's research group at Harvard University. Previoulsy he was a postdoc at the Institute for Quantum Information (IQI) at Caltech. He obtained a Master of Physics at the Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona (UAB) and a Ph.D. in Physics at University of New Mexico (UNM), while also doing research at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Sergio Boixo has undergraduate degrees in computer engineering, philosophy, and mathematics. He is a recipient of the Chip de Oro (âGolden Chipâ) price for outstanding academic achievements in computer science (1996), Roll of Honor at Universidad Complutense (1996), La Caixa Fellowship (2004), Phi Kappa Phi (2005), PhD with Honors (2008) and Mutua Madrilena Fellowship, 2008.
