EVOLUTION _AND_ APPLICATIONS _OF_ QUANTUM COMPUTING THE BOOK IS ABOUT THE QUANTUM MODEL REPLACING TRADITIONAL COMPUTING’S CLASSICAL MODEL AND GIVES A STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNICAL OVERVIEW OF THE CURRENT EFFORTS TO DEVELOP QUANTUM COMPUTING AND APPLICATIONS FOR INDUSTRY 4.0. A holistic approach to the revolutionary world of quantum computing is presented in this book, which reveals valuable insights into this rapidly emerging technology. The book reflects the dependence of quantum computing on the physical phenomenon of superposition, entanglement, teleportation, and interference to simplify difficult mathematical problems which would have otherwise taken years to derive a definite solution for. An amalgamation of the information provided in the multiple chapters will elucidate the revolutionary and riveting research being carried out in the brand-new domain encompassing quantum computation, quantum information and quantum mechanics. Each chapter gives a concise introduction to the topic. The book comprises 18 chapters and describes the pioneering work on the interaction between artificial intelligence, machine learning, and quantum computing along with their applications and potential role in the world of big data. Subjects include: * Combinational circuits called the quantum multiplexer with secured quantum gate (CSWAP); * Detecting malicious emails and URLs by using quantum text mining algorithms to distinguish between phishing and benign sites; * Quantum data traffic analysis for intrusion detection systems; * Applications of quantum computation in banking, netnomy and vehicular ad-hoc networks, virtual reality in the education of autistic children, identifying bacterial diseases and accelerating drug discovery; * The critical domain of traditional classical cryptography and quantum cryptography. AUDIENCE The book will be very useful for researchers in computer science, artificial intelligence and quantum physics as well as students who want to understand the history of quantum computing along with its applications and have a technical state-of-the-art overview.
