Our presentation reflects on Infleqtion’s experience building Superstaq\, a quantum software platform that optimizes the execution of quantum programs by tailoring to underlying hardware primitives. We find that software optimizations deliver 10x boosts to performance that equate to years of hardware progress. We also reflect on gaps in the current-state-of-art that motivate novel software approaches to tackle new challenges in quantum technology.  \nDr. Fred Chong is the Seymour Goodman Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Chicago and the Chief Scientist for Quantum Software at Infleqtion. He is also Lead Principal Investigator for the EPiQC Project (Enabling Practical-scale Quantum Computing)\, an NSF Expedition in Computing. Chong is a member of the National Quantum Advisory Committee (NQIAC) which provides advice to the President on the National Quantum Initiative Program. In 2020\, he co-founded Super.tech\, a quantum software company\, which was acquired by Infleqtion (formerly ColdQuanta) in 2022.

The message is clear: annual reviews alone aren’t going to cut it. Federal agencies are reimagining how they evaluate\, develop\, and support their workforces in response to the recognition that annual performance reviews alone aren’t enough. As expectations for accountability\, engagement\, and mission delivery evolve\, agencies are empowering supervisors to lead more frequent\, meaningful feedback conversations using data-driven insights to track performance drivers. By empowering supervisors with better tools and training\, applying workforce analytics\, and encouraging open performance-based dialogue\, agencies are aiming to boost engagement\, retention\, and mission outcomes. \nThis session will bring together agency leaders and workforce experts from OPM and other federal entities to share how they plan to put these ideas into practice—what’s working\, what’s changing on the ground\, and how lessons learned can help drive a stronger\, more adaptable federal workforce. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Speakers:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Samantha Adrignola\n Manager\, Strategic Consulting Program\, U.S. Office of Personnel Management \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Howard Spira\n Chief Information Officer\, Export-Import Bank of the United States \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Britta Wilhelmsen\n Strategy & Enablement Lead\, Government Sector\, BetterUp \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Rudolf Rojas\n Information Technology Manager\, U.S. Department of Agriculture \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Andrew Petry\n Acting Deputy Chief Information Officer\, Office of Resource Management\, Office of the Chief Information Officer\, U.S. Department of Energy \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Moderator: Kiersten Patton\n ATARC Consultant \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Register\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Zoom for Government enables ATARC remote collaboration opportunities through its cloud platform for video and audio conferencing\, chats and webinars across all devices.

However\, building a scalable\, error-corrected quantum computer is not just a “quantum” problem—it presents significant systems and architectural challenges. Addressing these challenges early and from a broad perspective is essential for progress. In this talk\, I will focus on two critical issues that shape the path toward fault-tolerant quantum computing. First\, role system architecture in improving the fidelity of logical qubits. Second\, there is a need for specialized compilation frameworks to support the constraints and requirements of early fault-tolerant quantum systems. By tackling these challenges\, we can move closer to realizing scalable quantum computing. \nSwamit Tannu is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Sciences department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, where he leads the QUEST Research Group. His research focuses on developing architectural and systems abstractions for quantum computers to enable scientific discovery at scale.

Generative AI offers a transformative opportunity to enhance key aspects of federal cybersecurity\, including threat detection\, vulnerability management\, security operations\, and compliance activities. Moving beyond traditional\, human-driven analyses and pre-defined rules\, Generative AI enables capabilities such as automated anomaly detection\, dynamic response strategies\, and the automation of labor-intensive tasks. These tasks encompass processing large datasets\, generating security documentation\, conducting independent security assessments\, and streamlining activities related to the Risk Management Framework (RMF) and compliance with the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA). \nThis webinar will examine the application of Generative AI in federal cybersecurity programs. Join us to hear federal experts discuss key priorities\, ongoing progress\, and the challenges of integrating Generative AI into cybersecurity initiatives. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Speakers:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Jennifer R.
