In the first half, I will explain what quantum computing is, why it is interesting, and the state-of-the-art in quantum computing. In the second half, I will talk about the components and the properties of variational quantum algorithms, which use a classical optimizer to train a parametrized quantum circuit. As an example, I will discuss the idea of the quantum approximate optimization algorithm and its applications to solve combinatorial problems, such as the Max-Cut problem.

Title: Expanding Ocean Observing Systems for Weather and Climate: From the Northeast US to the Caribbean Sea Speaker: Dr. Travis Miles, Rutgers University Abstract: Over the past three decades in situ ocean observing capabilities have expanded rapidly, becoming robust multi-platform networks capable of supporting broad stakeholder needs with real-time data delivery. In parallel, the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) has been focused on connecting those networks with stakeholders from local communities, regional and global forecasting systems, and multi-disciplinary research teams. In this presentation I will broadly discuss the 1) growth and implementation of the hurricane glider network from the Northeast US through the Caribbean; 2) the impacts of upper ocean observations on operational ocean forecasting during hurricanes; and 3) exploration of new findings of climate trends in the Caribbean Sea.
