    Quantum Computing Intern Update

    Jason Larkin and Daniel Justice come back with Matias Jonsson to give updates on the Quantum Project. The team continues to search for useful NISQ era quantum algorithms! Watch as Matias shares his findings, the team touches on their strategies for research and Justice gets corrected on true nature of the NP-Completeness (or lack thereof) of Shor's algorithm!  (Recorded March 2020)

    What is Ransomware?

    Ritwik Gupta and Elli Kanal explain what ransomware is, what it can do to your computer, and how you can help prevent infections using the concept of cyber hygiene. Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts the files on a computer, preventing the user from accessing them. The attacker then extorts the user by requesting a ransom in exchange for the key that unlocks the files. In this Cyber Talk episode, Ritwik Gupta and Elli Kanal explain how ransomware can infect a computer, and they discuss examples of how criminals have targeted single computers as well as large systems to explain what can happen when ransomware infects a system. To prevent ransomware attacks, Gupta and Kanal explain the concept of "cyber hygiene," which refers to a set of basic practices that users can perform to decrease the risk of getting infected by malware. They stress the importance of developing an awareness for cyber hygiene, especially after the advent of the Internet of things, which has increased the number of devices that are susceptible to infection, including phones, cars, refrigerators, and more.

    Deepfakes—What Can Really Be Done Today?

    Rotem Guttman and Zach Kurtz explain what deepfakes are, how they work, and what kind of content it's possible to create with current techniques and technology. The term "deepfake" refers to the use of machine learning to produce content for essays or to modify photos and videos. When it comes to photos and videos, the images are often so realistic that viewers are not able to tell that they are fake. In this Cyber Talk episode, Rotem Guttman and Zach Kurtz explain the kinds of machine learning that people use to create deepfakes, how they work, and what kind of content it's possible to produce with current technology. Rotem and Zach also cover the techniques people use to create fraudulent content. Such techniques include using an actor to film a video and then replacing the actor's face with someone else's, as well as more advanced methods that can reproduce a person's body movements, voice, speech, and facial expressions to make that person appear to say or do something that he or she did not actually say or do. Finally, they discuss the current limitations of these technologies and techniques, and they forecast advances that might occur in the coming years.

    STEM + Diversity = Greater Technology Innovation

    Tom Longstaff and Grace Lewis discuss how the inclusion of minorities and women in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) careers can promote a nation's progress by increasing its ability to innovate. The fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) can contribute to a nation's progress because they promote innovation and improve many aspects of our lives. However, statistics show there is an imbalance in the workforce because women and minorities are less likely to pursue careers in STEM fields. In this Cyber Talk episode, Tom Longstaff and Grace Lewis discuss how fixing this imbalance can help promote even greater innovation in STEM fields. Grace and Tom examine what true diversity means, and how representation not just in terms of race and gender, but also in terms of culture and backgrounds, can promote different points of view and lead to the discovery of new solutions to problems that STEM researchers are trying to solve. They discuss how to promote diversity by reaching out to students at the right age and involving mentors from underrepresented groups to help break stereotypes about what it means to work in a STEM field. They also explore different kinds of approaches and programs that are effective for schools, universities, and places of work—including FFRDCs like the SEI—to get students interested and involved in STEM fields.
