On OneQuantum Profile of the week, we are pleased to host Rairo Mukamuri, a technologist with a passion for Artificial Intelligence specifically its application in healthcare and agriculture.
He recently did a tutorial called "Fruit Classifier" that won the global first place award for the 2020 Facebook Developer Circles Community Challenge in the English tutorials for beginners category in addition to the regional award for Sub-Saharan Africa. He has also won the 2020 HCL Pinkdata award for best use of data and analytics to raise breast cancer awareness.
Rairo is a former Systems Development Consultant at Econet - Zimbabwe's largest mobile network operator and has experience in web and mobile software development as well as machine learning.
He will share his career journey and touch on the role of quantum machine learning as a developer based in Africa.
Please invite all your quantum tech colleagues from the continent.
We are looking forward to seeing you and having a good discussion!

We are looking forward to seeing you and having a good discussion!
Our colleagues at NITheP invite you to join them today at 1600hrs SAST for a colloquium.
Topic:
Learning time: clocks and analogue machine learning"
Description:
Prof Gerard Milburn (University of Queensland)
Abstract: General purpose analogue machine learning has a history that predates digital computing with the first important results published by Shannon in 1941. In this talk I discuss the thermodynamics constraints on analogue machine learning based on Hopf bifurcations in both classical and quantum systems. The latter case indicates that learning can proceed at zero temperature due entirely to quantum noise in the form of spontaneous emission and tunnelling.
Bio: Gerard Milburn obtained a PhD from The University of Waikato in 1983. He has worked in the fields of quantum optics, quantum computing and quantum measurement and control. He retired as Director of the Australian Centre for Engineered Quantum Systems in 2017 and now divides his time between physics and farming. Milburn is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, The Australian Academy of Science and The Royal Society of London.
