Running notebooks with Python 3.8.3 causes Assertion errors

Since upgrading to the latest python release 3.8.3 on my system I have had issues running a notebook, specifically: https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-tutorials/blob/master/tutorials/circuits_advanced/1_advanced_circuits.ipynb Running that notebook when you run it from scratch on a fresh kernel it hangs on cell 8 and the jupyter notebook output logs multiple assertion errors:

Downgrading python to 3.8.2 (or 3.7.x) fixes this. I've also confirmed it on other platforms (I run on linux, but mac users running 3.8.3 have had the same issue). I assume this is probably a bug in python or tornado, but I lack the domain expertise on the stack to be sure.

Reproduce the linked circuits_advanced/1_advanced_circuits.ipynb from a fresh kernel under Python 3.8.3, then inspect the traceback locations in ipykernel/kernelbase.py and tornado/ioloop.py. Compare with Python 3.8.2 or 3.7.x, where the notebook works; done means identifying the compatibility cause and verifying the resulting fix or dependency change.
