I can Honestly say without a doubt that Quantum Leap is the “ONLY” Jewelry Appraising Software that you can grow into and not grow out of, as you expand and increase your jewelry appraising skills and knowledge. The possibilities are nearly endless as to what you can do and what you can make your own personalized and customized version of Quantum Leap do, to accomplish nearly any appraisal job or task. I have personally Designed & Built: 11 – Sections: 31 – Components: 360+ – Picklists: I will be sharing with all of you My Own Current Layouts, Formats and Attribute Lists I include to make My Jewelry Appraisal Reports one of the most comprehensive, complex and in-depth jewelry appraisals available anywhere. SIMPLE, FAST & EFFECTIVE When you unleash the power of your own mind, almost anything is possible. Most of you will freak out as to how much information I have personally crammed into My Own Version and Personally Customized Quantum Leap Jewelry Appraisal Software Program. For the most part, it is complete over-kill, but I did it so that once everything was inputted in, I knew I would then be able and capable of tackling nearly any type of Appraisal Task asked of me and be able to Appraise nearly any common jewelry related objects I normally come across without having to stop and re-adjust or build new sections, components or picklists. In the long run, it saves me time and as we all know and understand, Time is MONEY!!!

This acts to bring all of My Own Personally Built and Fully Customized Component to the very top of the Component List Chart. The reason being is that the computer sorts and lists Components using Alphanumeric listing or sorting. I wanted to group all of my own Components in one place and in order of MY OWN importance and/or preference. As it increased productivity and workflow. As you can see from the screen shots I put Components in order in which I generally do more or are more common than seldom used components which I then list lower in My Component List within each Sub-Group. However, you will also quickly see that I have separated the Components into Several Separate Sub- Group Listings so that they are all together in Sub-Sets as it is easier and quicker to find. The First Group of Components listed, deals with Mountings or Items that I encounter more often than others. The Second Sub-Group of Components deal with specific Types and Sizes of Stones also Sub-Listed by Order

    TRENDS & CONTROVERSIES A quantum leap for AI By Haym Hirsh Rutgers University [email protected] November 1994 saw the near-simultaneous publication of two papers that threw the notion of computing on its head. On November 11, 1994, a paper by Leonard Adleman appeared in Science demonstrating that a vial of DNA fragments can serve as a computer for solving instances of the Hamiltonian path problem. Less than two weeks later, Peter Shor Quantum computing and AI presented a paper in Santa Fe, New Mexico, at the 35th Annual Symposium on Foundations Subhash Kak, Louisiana State University of Computer Science, demonstrating how a quantum computer could be used to factor large Every few years, we hear of a new tech- numbers in a tractable fashion.
