Abstract: Motivated by the challenges of detecting extremely rare failures in sophisticated circuit design specifications, we study the problem of efficiently identifying multiple disjoint regions of interest (ROIs) — regions of a continuous, high-dimensional parameter space where a complex, expensive-to-evaluate target function falls below or above a pre-specified threshold. We reframe this problem as a Bayesian sequential decision-making problem and, more broadly, as an instance of strategic agent behavior in continuous spaces: an agent that must allocate a hard evaluation budget…

By accelerating the disruption assured in by Cloud and AI, quantum technology is poised to revolutionize the global economy by trillions of dollars over the next decade, solving complex problems previously beyond the reach of classical supercomputers. Chicago has established itself as the premier global hub for quantum innovation, establishing the Chicago Quantum Exchange and building the world's first industrial-scale quantum development at the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP) on the former South Works steel mill site. This 440-acre "Quantum Shore" campus…
