Mitigating Degree-Related Biases in Training Graph Convolutional Networks

Over the past few years, Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) have achieved state-of-the-art performance in machine learning tasks on graph data and have been widely applied to many real-world applications across different fields, such as traffic prediction, user behavior analysis, and fraud detection. However, networks in the real world are often with heterogeneous degree distributions, such […]

Stochastic Electrodynamics Simulations using the Xanadu Quantum Cloud

The proposed project investigates an approach to solve difficult physics problems, which are too computationally intensive for standard computers, using Xanadu’s near-term quantum computers. The goal of the project is to create a simulation tool that harnesses the exponential increase in efficiency offered by quantum computers to simulate the movement of particles and the subsequent […]

Assessment of Thermionic RF Electron Gun

The Canadian Light Source produces a very bright light which can be used to study DNA, viruses, cells, proteins, and other small-scale structures. To generate this light, the CLS needs a beam of electrons which are generated by an electron gun. In 2018, this electron gun failed, and the facility was unable to function for […]
