Customizable and Adaptive Quantum Processors: Theory and Applications. Questo articolo non è disponibile.Customizable and Adaptive Quantum Processors: Theory and Applications

The book describes state-of-the-art advances in simulators and emulators for quantum computing. It introduces the main concepts of quantum computing, defining q-bits, explaining the parallelism behind any quantum computation, describing measurement of the quantum state of information and explaining the process of quantum bit entanglement, collapsed state and cloning. The book reviews the concept of quantum unitary, binary and ternary quantum operators as well as the computation implied by each operator. It provides details of the quantum processor, providing its architecture, which is validated via execution simulation of some quantum instructions.

Nadia Nedjah has degrees in Systems Engineering and Computation- Bachelors (1987) and M.Sc. (1990), both from University of Annaba, Algeria, and a Ph.D. (1997) from University of Manchester – Institute of Science and Technology, UK. She joined the Department of Electronics Engineering and Telecommunications, State University of Rio de Janeiro as a Full Professor in electronics engineering. She has authored three books on Functional and Re-writing Languages, Hardware/Software Co-design for Systems Acceleration and Hardware for soft Computing vs. Soft Computing for Hardware. She has also co-edited more than 20 special issues for high impact journals and more than 45 organized books on computational intelligence related topics, such as Evolvable Machines, Genetic Systems Programming, Evolutionary Machine Design: Methodologies and Applications and Real-World Multi-Objective System Engineering. She (co)-authored more than 120 journal papers and more than 200 conference papers. She is Associate Editor of more than 10 international journals, including International Journal of Electronics (TF), The VLSI Journal (Elsevier) and Microprocessors and Microsystems and IET’s Computer & Digital Techniques (Elsevier). She organized several major conferences related to computational intelligence (for more details, see http://www.eng.uerj.br/~nadia/ english.html).
