Viterbi Career & Internship Expo
Thu, Sep 28, 2023 @ 09:00 AM - 05:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Career Connections
Receptions & Special Events
Viterbi Career Connections is excited to announce the Fall 2023 Career & Internship Expo will be hosted September 25th-28th, 2023.
70% of employers recruit in the fall semester for their summer roles. Meet recruiters actively looking for full-time roles, internships, and co-ops.
Join additional activities such as Employer Info Sessions and Company Demos to learn more about an organization and have your questions answered. You can share your resume at any Expo activity.
The Viterbi Career & Internship Expo is free and open to all students in the USC Viterbi School of Engineering.

Title: WAF: A Multi Purpose Static Program Analysis Framework for WebAssembly
Abstract: WebAssembly is a recent standard for the web that aims to enable high performance web applications that can run at near native speeds. The standard has gained attention in both academia and industry for its ability to speed up existing user facing web applications. However, we have encountered several limitations in the static program analysis tools of the current WebAssembly ecosystem. We find that current program optimizations applied on WebAssembly modules may lead to diminished performance. We also identify a lack of tools that help developers understand WebAssembly modules through robust binary decompilation. Finally, we find a gap in the ability to analyze cross language WebAssembly applications across the two languages they are typically implemented in, i.e., WebAssembly and JavaScript.
In this thesis, we present a novel WebAssembly Analysis Framework, or WAF. WAF is a static program analysis framework for WebAssembly modules that consists of multiple intermediate representations. Inspired by frameworks made for Java, the core of our framework lies in our three intermediate representations that each model the WebAssembly module at a different semantic level. This structure enables WAF to serve in multiple use cases, including program optimizations, binary decompilation, cross language program analysis, and malware detection. We aim to show that our framework can improve static program analysis in the areas that the WebAssembly ecosystem is lacking

Talk Title: Advances in control and error correction of GKP codes in superconducting circuits
Series: Quantum Science & Technology Seminar Series
Abstract: The past four years have seen rapid experimental progress in realizing the quantum error correction code proposed in 2001 by Gottesman, Kitaev, and Preskill (GKP) in which logical states are encoded as oscillator grid states [1]. Recent milestones include code preparation and real-time error correction in trapped-ion motional modes and in superconducting cavities [2-6]. In this overview talk, I will review experiments from our lab at Yale that have led to these advances, focusing on the engineering of an experimental architecture for the code's realization in superconducting circuits [2]. I also will demonstrate how the same tools can be used for universal control of an oscillator with weak dispersive coupling to a qubit [5]. Finally, I will share our recent results on optimizing the error correction protocol using model-free reinforcement learning, leading to the demonstration of a fully error-corrected quantum memory with coherence beyond break even [6].

Biography: Alec Eickbusch is a PhD candidate in applied physics at Yale University in the group of Michel Devoret. Alec did his undergraduate studies at the University of Texas at Austin where he earned degrees in physics and electrical engineering. At Yale, Alec's research has focused on bosonic quantum error correction in superconducting circuits and quantum control of high-quality oscillators. Alec is also a consultant for Nord Quantique, and he will join Google Quantum AI as a research scientist in Fall 2023.
