Strongly correlated and topological phases in condensed matter systems are at the cutting edge of fundamental physics studies, as well as being promising candidates for the next generation of technological capabilities like quantum computing. In recent years, a remarkable amount of progress has been made in creating and controlling such phases by introducing a small twist angle or lattice mismatch between two dimensional (2D) materials. These systems, called moiré systems, have facilitated the surprising discovery of strongly correlated phases where one might not expect them (e.g. superconductivity in “magic-angle” twisted bilayer graphene) or long-sought new physics (e.g. the fractional quantum anomalous Hall effect (FQAHE) in twisted MoTe2). However, much of the work in this rapidly developing field have focused on the case where the constituent 2D materials of the moiré system are monolayers, or at most bilayers. I will show that this restriction to one or two atomic layers is unnecessarily limiting. Surprising new phenomenology can be realized in graphitic moiré systems, where at least one component is three-layers or more. Most notably, we find that a new type of “moiré enabled” electron crystallization can occur that spontaneously breaks the moiré translational symmetry and has dissipationless edge modes, analogous to a topological version of a Wigner crystal. Our results suggest that these topological electron crystals 1) are at least somewhat common across multilayer graphene moiré systems, 2) can have uniquely tunable magnetization states, and 3) closely compete with the newly discovered FQAHE. Understanding this competition, as well as the novel phenomenology of the topological electron crystal phase, will be of fundamental interest in future studies of strongly correlated topological systems.

Thank you members for being patient while we had a bit of a hiatus of meetings. We are excited to get monthly meetings rolling again! For our March meeting, we are happy to welcome Sudarshan Byreddy from Burns & McDonnel to come speak on Circuit Switcher vs. Circuit Breaker for Transformer Protection. Presentation: Protecting transformers from faults and transient conditions is essential for reliable utility operations and extending equipment life. This paper compares the performance of high-voltage circuit switchers and circuit breakers for transformer primary switching and protection under transformer-limited fault (TLF) conditions. Under TLF conditions, the rate of rise in recovery voltage (RRRV) during the interruption is very high, imposing significant dielectric stress on primary switching equipment. Circuit switchers are specifically designed and tested to withstand fast transient recovery voltage (TRV), offering a cost-effective alternative to circuit breakers, which may experience multiple restrikes, thermal stress and dielectric breakdown when exposed to fast TRV conditions. However, circuit switchers have limited fault-current interrupting capabilities compared to circuit breakers, particularly in extra-high-voltage applications. The presentation outlines the specifications and selection criteria for circuit breakers used for transformer protection, especially at extra-high voltages, and proposes mitigation strategies, such as grading capacitors and surge arresters, to ensure safer operation within breaker ratings and improve system reliability. Speaker Bio: Sudarshan received his MS degree from the University of Missouri, Kansas City in 2015. He is currently working as a Substation Technical Manager at Burns & McDonnell. Sudarshan is also a licensed Professional Engineer registered with the Texas Board of Professional Engineers(TBPE). He is the vice chair of the IEEE C37.016 working group and the IEEE PSRC I-46 working group, and the secretary of the D51 working group. He is actively contributing to the revision of several IEEE documents for the IEEE PSRC and Switchgear committees, which include C37.101, the guide for generator ground protection; C37.243, the guide for the application of digital line current differential protection using digital communications; and C57.13.3, the guide for grounding instrument transformer secondary circuits, C37.016, Standard for High voltage Circuit switchers rated 15.5kV through 245kV. Sudarshan is passionate about Electric Power Systems, and his work helps to improve the reliability and safety of electrical infrastructure. As with all of our meetings, we will be providing lunch.

Physical AI at the Edge: Autonomous Drones, Embedded Vision, and Hardware-Optimized Learning Edge AI is redefining how intelligent systems operate in real-world, bandwidth-limited, and safety-critical environments. Rather than relying on centralized cloud infrastructure, next-generation autonomous platforms demand low-latency, energy-efficient, and hardware-aware intelligence deployed directly at the edge. This guest lecture presents a systems-level perspective on designing edge-native AI architectures spanning three converging domains: autonomous drone platforms, embedded computer vision, and lightweight large language models (LLMs). We will examine how drone autonomy benefits from onboard perception-action loops, real-time multi-modal sensing, and closed-loop control frameworks that operate without persistent cloud connectivity. The talk further explores edge-optimized vision pipelines for agricultural and environmental monitoring, including model compression, quantization, spectral-RGB fusion, and real-time deployment on resource-constrained hardware such as Jetson, FPGA, and heterogeneous SoCs. Finally, we discuss the emerging role of LLMs in physical AI systems, not as chat interfaces, but as structured reasoning engines integrated with robotic sensing and decision pipelines. Hardware-aware optimization strategies, including pruning, mixed-precision inference, memory- latency tradeoffs, and accelerator-centric design, will be highlighted as key enablers of scalable deployment. This invited talk concludes by outlining a unifying design framework for building autonomous, interpretable, and deployable edge intelligence systems across agriculture, environmental monitoring, and cyber-physical domains. All are welcome! You do not need to be a member to attend. If you are interested and unable to attend, please register and a recording will be sent out after the event.

Join us for a talk on how SmartNICs and RDMA Power AI in the Cloud, check out an Embodied AI demo and get insights into the state of the Chapter. Training modern Large Language Models (LLMs) requires tens of thousands of GPUs acting as a single "AI Supercomputer." To build this "AI Hypercomputer," we must first address the CPU bottlenecks of traditional general-purpose networking. This talk begins by analyzing why standard TCP/IP processing limits Model Training performance and introduces the concept of "Kernel Bypass" and the role of SmartNICs in offloading network processing from the host CPU. We will explore why modern AI clusters have moved toward hardware offloads (like RDMA) to achieve the high throughput and low latency required for GPU-to-GPU communication. We will also discuss the specific challenges of running lossless transport protocols over lossy Ethernet, where congestion and packet drops can cause severe performance degradation ("tail latency") in large-scale training jobs. The session concludes by analyzing the architectural design patterns required to optimize flow control and ensure reliable delivery in massive AI infrastructure environments. Demo: Comparing Reinforcement Learning with Imitation Learning for Autonomous Warehouse Pick-and-Place using a Robotic Arm This demo simulates a last-meter warehouse picking task, inspired by Amazon/Kiva-style systems but using general-purpose robotics. The experiments explicitly contrast policy-gradient reinforcement learning methods such as PPO with imitation learning inside a physically realistic embodied-AI task built with Isaac Sim. The demo has been designed to expose where each algorithm struggles or excels due to action spaces, partial observability, contact dynamics, and reward structure. These are core issues in embodied AI. This event features a leading industry expert from Google addressing this important topic, followed by a demo on Embodied AI using Isaac Sim / Lab updates on the state of our chapter from the IEEE CIS SCV Chair. 🎤 Talk 1 The Infrastructure of AI: How SmartNICs and RDMA Power the Cloud Speaker: Sujithra Periasamy, Google 🎤 Demo and Talk Comparing Model-Free RL Algorithms for Autonomous Warehouse Pick-and-Place with Mobile Manipulation Speakers: Mayank Kapadia and Dr. Vishnu S.

Abstract: Entangled photons possess nonclassical correlations that can be harnessed for imaging. In contrast to conventional optical imaging, quantum imaging based on coincidence detection of entangled photons demonstrated super-resolution beyond the classical diffraction limit. We will present both experimental imaging results and the underlying theoretical framework that explains these advantages. Because photons originate from atoms and molecules, our work also examines atomic physics at the interface between classical and quantum formalisms. We show that the Bloch equation, traditionally regarded as a classical equation of motion, can be reformulated to yield the quantum von Neumann and Schrödinger equations. This correspondence reveals a classical origin for the standard quantum spin equations and clarifies the relationship between the two descriptions. We have further developed a theory that models the multistage Stern–Gerlach experiment envisioned by Heisenberg and Einstein and conducted by Frische and Segre, with improved accuracy compared to existing treatments. More recently, we performed quantum measurements of atomic beam splitting under extremely low magnetic field gradients. Conventional Stern–Gerlach experiments rely on strong gradients to spatially resolve the split beams. In contrast, we use optical spectroscopy to resolve spatially overlapping atomic distributions that would otherwise appear inseparable, thereby enabling low-field quantum measurements. While conventional theoretical models agree with experiments at high magnetic fields, they exhibit noticeable discrepancies as the magnetic field gradient approaches zero. Our theory remains consistent with experimental observations across the entire field range. A key outcome of this work is an estimate of the electron spin collapse time, expressed in dimensionless units of Larmor precession cycles. For the three-stage Stern–Gerlach configuration, our validation constitutes a retrospective agreement with historical data. In the single-stage configuration, the test is prospective. The theoretical framework was fixed before the low-field experimental data were acquired, ensuring that no post hoc adjustments to the theory were introduced.

The IEEE GreenTech Conference is excited to invite all Electrical Engineering students across Colorado to participate at our job fair, which will take place on Thursday, March 26, from 5:00–7:00 pm at the Limelight Hotel Boulder. The event is designed as a combined networking and job fair event to connect Colorado-based companies and utilities with talented students and early-career engineers interested in careers related to power and energy systems. It is open to all conference attendees as well as EE students from universities across Colorado. Room: Flatiron 1, Limelight Hotel, 1295 University Ave, Boulder, Colorado, United States, 80302

This Workshop is intended for electricians, engineers, designers, inspectors, project managers, and contractors because it will describe and discuss the following information: - The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires electrical systems to be effectively grounded. - However, effective grounding is poorly understood, even by engineers, because soils are not understood and a soil resistance test is seldom performed. - Soil types such as loam, sand, gravel, rocky soil, shallow soil over bedrock, and bare rock each require different approaches to achieve an effective electrical grounding - Particular attention will be given to methods for designing effective grounding in poor soils and on rock. Friday March 27, 9 am to 5 pm including breaks and time to go out for lunch. Speaker(s): James Mercier, Agenda: How can you achieve a suitable electrical ground on: · bare rock · pure clay · desert · or dry rocky soil? - There are 7 NEC approved methods of grounding electrodes with concrete encased electrodes being the best and 3 types of electrodes are forbidden. - Soil resistance can be measured with a 3-point resistance testing which will be explained and demonstrated. - Lightning protection grounding practices are very similar to electrical grounding but do have some differences in requirements and practices. - Lightning protection grounding requirements and practices are presented in National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard 780 while the NEC is NFPA 70E. However, grounding on bare rock such as a mountain top requires some unusual practices. During this presentation, questions are encouraged and may even be required. Attendees will be sent a certificate for 7 Professional Development Hours (PDH) afterwards. Room: Bear Creek - 2nd Floor, Limelight Hotel, 1295 University Ave, Boulder, Colorado, United States, 80302
