A Survey on Quantum Cloud Computing: A Novel Approach to Data Sharing

Purnima Gupta, Deepak Kumar Verma, Chetankumar Chudasama +3 more

Over the past many years, cloud computing technology has revolutionized the world and influenced people to use cloud computing to share data or store data, networks, and many more things. This paper aims to guide and enhance the knowledge of those students who want to go into cloud computing as a career. It will also enable us to appreciate how cloud computing may be helpful in the future. Still, at the same time, it will help us to know about some looming problems. Furthermore, this paper will also help us explore many regions of cloud computing, such as its uses and applications in technology, its usage in the data and information security field, and how it keeps the data secure. This paper mainly focuses on quantum cloud computing, a relatively intact concept of cloud computing that has yet to be thoroughly discovered but holds immense potential to revolutionize the field, promising to solve currently intractable problems with unprecedented speed and efficiency. The potential applications of quantum cloud computing are vast and exciting, from drug discovery to material science, and this paper aims to provide ample consideration of this innovative concept, its potential applications, and the challenges it presents, sparking excitement about the possibilities of this technology.

Impact of Quantum Information Technology on Future National Security Space

The current state of the art in space systems would not be possible without the advances in our understanding of matter and light at the atomic level provided by quantum theory. This triumph of 20th century physics provides the foundation for most of the components employed in satellites from integrated circuits, solar cells, atomic clocks, and advanced materials. Over the past 25 years a new understanding of the relationship between quantum theory, theory and security, and computing has raised the possibility of exploiting \quantum information for computing and secure encryption key generation. The eld of quantum science exploits quantum states for processing and security applications. The power of quantum derives from the quantum nature of matter that allow algorithms with exponential speed-up when compared to the best-known classical algorithms. Quantum Key Distribution involves using quantum states, typically encoded into the phase or polarization of photons, to securely share the bits to be used to construct an encryption key. The theoretical security of quantum key distribution rests on the physical laws of quantum theory, unlike classical cryptography that relies on assumptions about the computational complexity of certain mathematical problems. In this paper we survey the state of quantum science and technology, summarizing the basic features of quantum processing and key distribution. We describe the potential for quantum computing and key distribution to support future NSS applications and missions, for both the ground and space segments. We conclude with a discussion of the current challenges with advancing quantum technology to meet these future needs.

1.4 The Future of Computing: Bits + Neurons + Qubits

Darı́o Gil, William M. J. Green

The laptops, cell phones, and Internet applications commonplace in our daily lives are all rooted in the idea of zeros and ones - in bits. This foundational element originated from the combination of mathematics and Claude Shannon's Theory of Information. Coupled with the 50-year legacy of Moore's Law, the bit has propelled the digitization of our world. In recent years, artificial intelligence systems, merging neuron-inspired biology with information, have achieved superhuman accuracy in a range of narrow classification tasks by learning from labelled data. Advancing from Narrow Al to Broad Al will encompass the unification of learning and reasoning through neuro-symbolic systems, resulting in a form of Al which will perform multiple tasks, operate across multiple domains, and learn from small quantities of multi-modal input data. Finally, the union of physics and information led to the emergence of Quantum Information Theory and the development of the quantum bit - the qubit - forming the basis of quantum computers. We have built the first programmable quantum computers, and although the technology is still in its early days, these systems offer the potential to solve problems which even the most powerful classical computers cannot. The future of computing will look fundamentally different than it has in the past. It will not be based on more and cheaper bits alone, but rather, it will be built upon bits + neurons + qubits. This future will enable the next generation of intelligent mission critical systems and accelerate the rate of science-driven discovery.
