From Particles to Patterns: Quantum Computing as the Engine of the Next AI Revolution

We are excited to invite you to a seminar on “From Particles to Patterns: Quantum Computing as the Engine of the Next AI Revolution” in celebration of IEEE DAY and Ada Lovelace Day. Ada Lovelace Day is  celebrated annually for the contributions of women in STEM fields along with IEEE Day which is an annual event that celebrates the first time in history when engineers worldwide gathered together to share their innovative ideas in 1984. The session will be led by Dr. Sumaiya Tabassum Nimi, an Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, North South University and a visionary in the fields of quantum machine learning and computation. Organised by IEEE NSU Student Branch, WIE Affinity Group in collaboration with IEEE NSU Student Branch,  in this session we will discuss how, as artificial intelligence approaches the limits of classical computation, quantum computing stands ready to redefine its future. By leveraging the extraordinary principles of superposition and entanglement, quantum computers promise to accelerate learning, optimize decision-making, and enable forms of intelligence beyond current imagination. This talk explores how quantum computing is reshaping the very foundations — and the future — of AI.

Ada Lovelace dreamed of intelligent machines before they existed. Quantum-guided intelligent computation is the modern version of that dream, using today’s science to build the kind of smart, creative machines she imagined 200 years ago. In this session, Dr. Tabassum will take us go through the principles of Quantum Mechanics like superposition, entanglement and quantum probability, intelligent computation which refers to AI- Based Computational Models like machine learning and Knowledge- Based Systems which are AI systems built around a knowledge base and inference engine. All of these concepts integrate into a big picture which implies the development of knowledge- based AI systems using computational models guided by the principles of quantum mechanics.

This event is a rare opportunity to reflect on the future of AI and quantum mechanics where the principles of quantum mechanics and computation will make machines think, reason and decide.

Students with basic ideas on how traditional computing, based on the concept of classical bits, works, and a little background on Matrix and Vector are highly encouraged to join. 

Key Takeaway:

  • Learn about the integration of physics and artificial intelligence 

  • Development of human-like thinking of machines

  • Emergence of smarter knowledge systems
