DESCRIPTION:Dear IEEE Members\,\n\nWe have the pleasure to Invite you to jo
 in us in celebrating IEEE Day on the 5th of October 2021.\n\nThe topic of 
 [Quantum computing is a future direction of IEEE](https://quantum.ieee.org
 /)\, and today the initiative have collected quite decent amount of scient
 ific material and publications. Fits well with the motto of the day : Whil
 e the world benefits from what’s new\, IEEE focuses on what’s next. Th
 e Paul Scherrer Institute has been recently announcing the creation of a [
 Quantum Hub\, for experimental quantum computer in the canton of Aargau.](
 https://www.psi.ch/en/media/our-research/the-goal-is-an-experimental-quant
 um-computer-in-the-canton-of-aargau)\n\nJoin us in celebrating IEEE member
 s! Worldwide celebrations demonstrate the ways thousands of IEEE members i
 n local communities join together to collaborate on ideas that leverage te
 chnology for a better tomorrow.\n\nThe event will be host in an hybrid for
 mat.\n\nIt will be possible to accommodate up to 50 participants having a 
 Covid certificate and protective mask. Others are warmly welcome to join u
 s on Zoom to follow the presentations.\n\nPlease let us know if you intend
  to join online or onsite.\n\nThe program is as follow :\n\n14:00 – 14:1
