About us
Welcome! We are the Princeton / Central Jersey Section of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE / PCJS). We hold regular meetings on a variety of subjects, covering topics in science and engineering, information technology, and professional development.
This is a group for engineers, Information Technology (IT) folks, students, and anybody interested in pushing the envelope of our modern, tech-driven world. Sponsored by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), our meetings are open to all.
Our meetings are open to the public, and free of charge, unless otherwise noted. You need not be an IEEE member to attend.
Our chapters and groups include:
• Antennas and Propagation / Electronic Devices / MicrowaveTheory and Techniques
• Broadcast Technology
• Circuits and Systems
• Consumer Electronics and Communications
• Computer Society (joint chapter with Princeton ACM)
• Engineering in Medicine and Biology
• IEEE Education Society
• Photonics
• Power and Energy Society
• Robotics and Automation
• Signal Processing
• Solid-State Circuits Society
• Professional Activities Committee for Engineers (PACE)
• Young Professionals
• Consultants Network
• Women in Engineering
...and student branches at:
• The College of New Jersey
• Princeton University
• Rutgers University
• DeVry University - North Brunswick
• Middlesex County College
• Pre-University Student Branches

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is a non-profit organization with over 400,000 members in more than 160 countries. The IEEE is the world’s largest professional association advancing innovation and technological excellence for the benefit of humanity. IEEE and its members inspire a global community to innovate for a better tomorrow through its highly cited publications, conferences, technology standards, and professional and educational activities. IEEE is the trusted “voice” for engineering, computing and technology information around the globe. The IEEE publishes a third of the world’s technical literature in electrical engineering, computer science and electronics and is a leading developer of international standards that underpin many of today's telecommunications, information technology and power generation products and services.

ACM / IEEE Computer Society: "A Deep-Physical Look at Quantum Computing"
·OnlineOnlinePRINCETON ACM / IEEE COMPUTER SOCIETY
MAY 2026 JOINT MEETING"A Deep-Physical Look at Quantum Computing" - Terry Bollinger
Abstract:
The talk begins with a description of how David-Deutsch-style quantum computing was supposed to undermine all prime-number cryptography methods by using only 15 qubits. Not 15 thousand or 15 million: 15 qubits. What happened after that, and why usable quantum computing continues to stump the world decades later, is the topic of this talk.Terry Bollinger will approach his description of quantum computation starting at the profound but subtle split in quantum physics perspectives between Richard Feynman (QED) and Hugh Everett (many-worlds). This split continues to haunt the field to this day. Terry will describe the current status of quantum computing, discuss how broadening Feynman’s approach may help, and address the intriguing question of whether room-temperature quantum computing is the reason why living and thinking systems are so successful at defying entropy while using little energy.
Speaker's Biography:
Terry Bollinger is a computer scientist with BS, MS, and Professional Degrees from the Missouri University of Science and Technology. For many years, he quietly helped define and get US Federal funding for university and small business research in artificial intelligence and robotics, while also assessing and helping identify the relevance of emerging information and hard-science private sector companies. Terry knew and supported Yann LeCun back when few people had ever heard of him, and he strongly promoted FireEye (which later sold for $2B) when it was a garage outfit.Date: Thursday May 21, 2026, 8:00 PM EDT
