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. The parts executed on a software) technology become tractable in the next classical computer analyze the results, compute new couple of years (National Academies, 2019). parameters for the quantum parts, and pass them on Quantum computers are offered for commercial use to a quantum part.

  • The Cost of Transgender Health Benefits
    Analysis of the Cost of Transgender Health Benefits The Cost of Transgender Health Benefits Mary Ann Horton, Ph.D. JPMorgan Chase Transgender at Work DRAFT 2: August 27, 2004 ABSTRACT This paper measures the frequency and cost of Transgender Health Benefits (THBs) for US residents. It reports on a survey of surgeons who do Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS) procedures, and reports the number of US residents undergoing SRS in the year 2001. The survey measured the average cost for MTF SRS and for FTM primary surgery (top surgery) in 2001. This cost is compared to the number of insured US residents in the 2000 US Census. Nonsurgical costs are calculated empirically, with margins of error. Total THB cost, and cost per insured, are estimated. Prevalence of SRS among US residents is calculated.

Introduction Many Health Care benefits policies contain an exclusion stating that any benefits related to sex change surgeryi are excluded from the coverage. Initially, this ban was justified by considering the procedures "Experimental" or "Cosmetic." After over 20 years of routine health care for transsexual people, benefits are now routinely excluded as "Too expensive." Costs as high as US $75,000 per person are cited as justification for exclusion.

  • Musings RIK FARROWEDITORIAL
    Musings RIK FARROWEDITORIAL Rik is the editor of ;login:. read Brian Kernighan’s latest book recently, and many things in it struck [email protected] chords with me. While the book was mostly about UNIX history, it was I what Brian wrote about the influence that UNIX had on the development of computers, programming, and even printing that grabbed my attention. For example, Brian pointed out that computers had been highly customizable machines that generally ran programs that were terribly inflexible. If you wrote files to disk using one program, you could only use that program, or a closely related one, to manipulate those files. UNIX, by comparison, uses byte streams for files, ones that can be opened by any program, even ones that can’t do anything sensible with the bytes, but that flexibility is enormous. Think of the old version of spell; that was a pipeline that converted a text file to a list of words, sorted those words, ran uniq on them, and then compared the results to a dictionary. None of those tools is unique to a spell-checking program. Today, spell is a binary, not a shell script, but you can find a version of the original script in Brian’s book. Computer Architecture Another idea that caught my attention appears in the book at the bottom of page 128: UNIX and C had a large impact on computing hardware in the 1980s and 1990s. Most successful instruction set architectures were well matched to C and UNIX. I certainly never really thought about that back when I was working with UNIX workstations in the late 1980s.

[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.
