April 2019, Issue 15 Message from Dean, FCAIT Quantum Computing Is Not a Replacement for the Binary Classical Computing That Has Become a Standard of Modern Life FACULTY OF COMPUTER APPLICATIONS & INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY April 2019, Issue 15 Message From Dean, FCAIT Quantum computing is not a replacement for the binary classical computing that has become a standard of modern life. Quantum computers use quantum physics to emulate the physical world, they can solve problems that today’s computers will never have the power to tackle. The use of quantum computers has immediate applications in industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and energy. Algorithms Message From using quantum math can unlock value by vastly speeding up data- Dean, FCAIT intensive applications in such fields as search, cryptography, and machine learning. Prof. R. P. Soni In the future, hybrid systems consisting of classical computers that call on their quantum cousins will solve problems that are unmanageable today. Quantum computing may reach maturity over three generations spanning the next 25 years. Companies could be using early-generation machines to address practical business and R&D needs much sooner. In fact, there will be a potential quantum computing market of more than $50 billion developing by 2030. Realizing the potential, however, will be possible only when the technology can produce the number of “logical” qubits—the basis for quantum calculations—that critical applications require. IBM recently announced a 20-qubit quantum processor and a simulator that can emulate up to 49 qubits, only to be outdone by Google a few months later with its Bristlecone chip, a 72-qubit processor. Other big tech companies and research institutions, including Intel, Microsoft, MIT, Yale, and Oxford, are active in the field. Read more about the quantum computers in the articles contributed by students in this issue. ---R. P. Soni “Primary aim of quantum computing intelligence is to improve human freedom, dignity, equality, security, and total well-being.” With this thought, we would like to present our next edition of D-Kosmos which will show how quantum computing allows the computer technology to be smaller and faster in our day to day life. With superposition, we can encode an exponential amount of information that can scale a solution better than classical computing. We would also like to make a special mention of “Cyber Shadez-2019” based on “Robotic Process Automation” theme to learn beyond the textbooks. The current issue is presenting Chief Editor glimpses of culture festival- “SHADEZ”. It is a platform for students to showcase their talents, Prof. Tripti Dodiya creativity, imagination, leadership qualities, team spirit and fellowship. The issue holds descriptions of CSI, NSS, CWDC, ISR, Educational tours and other extra curricular activities Editors organised by the institute. Prof. Poonam Dang Prof. Bharti Shah We believe in forming a strong bond with our students. For that we had organised farewell Prof. Monica Gupta for third year students of BCA where they have enjoyed a lot, they recall there old college Prof. Garima Mishra memory, watch video and played some fun interaction games as well. We hope you like this edition of D-Kosmos. We would also request our readers to send in Designer their suggestions and feedback, if any, on [email protected].

The company is leading the way in the size and complexity, we don’t have enough computational quantum space and is racing to be the first to power on Earth to tackle them. To stand a chance at develop a fully functional and commercially viable solving some of these problems, we need a new kind of quantum computer. The company announced that its computing which is Quantum Computing. first "commercial" quantum computer - Q System One. It is the key technology for future artificial intelligence.

QUANTUM COMPUTING Editorial Just a few years ago, quantum computing was a utopian dream. Today, however, it is beginning to take root in people's minds. It promises to replace the law of Gordon Moore, a cofounder of Intel who predicted that computing capacity would double every year...up to the physical limit of the atom. Atoms are the starting point of quantum computing, which uses nanometric (10-9) resources to solve problems that current computers cannot tackle. The fields of application for quantum computing range from encryption, metrology, optimisation, simulation, data analysis and artificial intelligence, using a future 'universal quantum computer'. Led by several key players like Google, IBM, Microsoft and Atos, the emerging quantum computing ecosystem also includes many start-ups (primarily in North America but in France as well) and is growing. While companies are currently undergoing profound transformations to prepare for and adapt to unexpected technological developments, they cannot ignore the quantum revolution that will undoubtedly shake up IT: first sequential, then parallel, computing will become 'co-occurrent'1 and impact programming, algorithms, applications and computer security, resulting in new use cases.

  • Quantum in the Cloud: Application Potentials and Research Opportunities
    Quantum in the Cloud: Application Potentials and Research Opportunities Frank Leymann a, Johanna Barzen b, Michael Falkenthal c, Daniel Vietz d, Benjamin Weder e and Karoline Wild f Institute of Architecture of Application Systems, University of Stuttgart, Universitätsstr. 38, Stuttgart, Germany Keywords: Cloud Computing, Quantum Computing, Hybrid Applications. Abstract: Quantum computers are becoming real, and they have the inherent potential to significantly impact many application domains. We sketch the basics about programming quantum computers, showing that quantum programs are typically hybrid consisting of a mixture of classical parts and quantum parts. With the advent of quantum computers in the cloud, the cloud is a fine environment for performing quantum programs. The tool chain available for creating and running such programs is sketched. As an exemplary problem we discuss efforts to implement quantum programs that are hardware independent. A use case from machine learning is outlined. Finally, a collaborative platform for solving problems with quantum computers that is currently under construction is presented. 1 INTRODUCTION Because of this, the overall algorithms are often hybrid. They perform parts on a quantum computer, Quantum computing advanced up to a state that urges other parts on a classical computer. Each part attention to the software community: problems that performed on a quantum computer is fast enough to are hard to solve based on classical (hardware and produce reliable results.

[email protected] ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTARCT The quantum revolution– ―Fifth Industrial Revolution‖- is poised to emerge with prominent and eye-catching disruptive quantum technologies to fundamentally transform the economy from digital to quantum. Two of the protuberant and conspicuous technology concepts are emanating to form the ―Quantum Internet‖ (QI) in the future to enable transmission more than quantum bits (qubits) between any two points on earth in order to solve problems that are intractable classically. The concept binding symbiotic integration of quantum computing (QC) and 6G wireless will facilitate QI with secured quantum communications disrupting every industry globally. The other concept embracing ―Quantum Teleportation‖ derives the power from quantum satellites (QS) by teleportingqubits/qutrits/ququarts or even higher information between the satellites and multiple ground stations encoded in delicate photons of infrared light to form QI. Both technology concepts will disrupt markets to create quantum opportunities to attain quantum value co-creation (QVCC). The aim of this conceptual research is a quest towards developing QI holistic model that offers impetus to enhance far-reaching applications with greater capacity, reliability, security, and public safety. The research methodology utilizes an exhaustive literature review on 6G wireless, quantum computing, quantum internet, quantum teleportation, and QVCC. The contribution of this research provides new knowledge towards a holistic QI model, the essential constituents, and building blocks of QVCC to the literature. Future researchers can build on this QI model to examine the limitations by using empirical research.
