Israel experienced a sharp decline in the number of its high achievers in mathematics in high schools between 2006 and 2012. The steep falloff placed the "start-up nation" at risk and was cause for public alarm. This talk tells the story of how Israel awoke to this trouble and articulates the strategy that enabled it to reverse and restore its performance. The talk will emphasize the role played within this strategy by catalytic philanthropy.
Abstract
Quantum many-body systems are very hard to simulate, since computational
resources (time and memory) typically grow exponentially with the system size.
However, quantum computers or analog quantum simulators may perform that task
in a much more efficient way. In this talk, I will review some of the quantum
algorithms that have been proposed for this task and then explain the advantages
and disadvantages of analog quantum simulators. In particular, I will describe
methods to simulate the dynamics, to find ground states, or compute physical
A fireside Book Chat with authors Rob Reich, Mehran Sahami, Jeremy Weinstein
Join the authors of System Error for a fireside chat about on-going trouble in big tech. This forward-thinking manifesto from three Stanford professors-experts who have worked at ground zero of the tech revolution for decades-reveals how Big Tech's obsession with optimization and efficiency has sacrificed fundamental human values and demands that we change course to renew our democracy and save ourselves.
Speakers: Rob Viglione, Co-Founder and CEO, and Rosario Pabst, Chief Product Officer, Horizen Labs
