DESCRIPTION:Gu Mile\nPlease join us for the QSE Center Quantum Seminar
  with Gu Mile from Nanyang Technological University\, who will give the
  talk "Dimensionality Reduction in the Presence of Quantum Models and Age
 nts" on Thursday May 15th.\nLocation: CM 1 5.\n\nPizzas will be available
  before the seminar at 12:30. All PhDs\, postdocs\, students\, and PIs ar
 e welcome to join us.\n\nTITLE: "Dimensionality Reduction in the Presence
  of Quantum Models and Agents"\n\nABSTRACT: \nDimensionality reduction ca
 ptures the spirit of Occam’s razor – asking the fundamental question: 
 What features of current data are the essential indicators of future behav
 iour? By isolating such features and discarding the rest\, we better under
 stand underlying causal behaviour\, while enabling models with reduced mem
 ory and energetic costs. Could quantum computers offer fundamental advanta
 ges in this arena? Here\, I will survey our ongoing work along these direc
 tions in the context of stochastic modelling and quantum-enhanced adaptive
  agents. I will illustrate how machines armed with the capacity to process
  quantum information offer means to reduce dimensionality beyond what prov
 ably classical limits. Time permitting\, I will discuss what the potential
  implications of these results are to (1) quantum thermodynamics\, where 
 they can tell us the fundamental costs of realising specific complex behav
 iour and (ii) quantum stochastic analysis\, where they may significantly a
 ccelerate the timeline in which Quantum Monte Carlo methods can be practic
 ally realised.\n\nBIO:\nGu is originally from New Zealand and obtained his
  Ph.D. at the University of Queensland. After a faculty position at the In
 stitute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences at Tsinghua University\
 , he joined Nanyang Technological University in 2016. Presently\, Gu is th
 e deputy director of the Nanyang Quantum Hub and the designated NRF invest
 igator\, where he leads a $S3 million project on quantum-enhanced autonomo
 us agents. Gu is also the Principal Investigator at the Singapore Centre f
 or Quantum Technologies\, the French-Singapore joint institute\, Majulab.\
