Understanding Quantum Technologies 2022

Understanding Quantum Technologies 2022 is a creative-commons ebook that provides a unique 360 degrees overview of quantum technologies from science and technology to geopolitical and societal issues. It covers quantum physics history, quantum physics 101, gate-based quantum computing, quantum computing engineering (including quantum error corrections and quantum computing energetics), quantum computing hardware (all qubit types, including quantum annealing and quantum simulation paradigms, history, science, research, implementation and vendors), quantum enabling technologies (cryogenics, control electronics, photonics, components fabs, raw materials), quantum computing algorithms, software development tools and use cases, unconventional computing (potential alternatives to quantum and classical computing), quantum telecommunications and cryptography, quantum sensing, quantum technologies around the world, quantum technologies societal impact and even quantum fake sciences. The main audience are computer science engineers, developers and IT specialists as well as quantum scientists and students who want to acquire a global view of how quantum technologies work, and particularly quantum computing. This version is an extensive update to the 2021 edition published in October 2021.Comment: 1132 pages, 920 figures, Letter forma

Logo generation through artificial intelligence

In recent years, much has been said about the possibility of artificial intelligence becoming an ally of the designer, as well as the possibility that in the future it will replace the designer in brand design. This study purposes to analyze and understand what impacts the advances in technology and more precisely artificial intelligence can contribute to the development of brand design. It was made a literature review (in AI and design), analysis of previous studies and interviews, in order to create a conceptual proposal for a logo creation model through artificial intelligence. It was concluded that although it appears that artificial intelligence could be close to creating logos, in reality is still far from that goal. Despite this, the study of artificial intelligence in design can even help designers, with new tools that will allow them to work better, especially in terms of formalizing ideas and research and solidifying the discipline theoretically.Nos últimos anos, muito se tem falado sobre a possibilidade da inteligência artificial se tornar uma aliada do designer, bem como sobre a possibilidade de, no futuro, substituir o designer na identidade visual das marcas. Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar e compreender quais os impactos que os avanços da tecnologia e mais precisamente da inteligência artificial podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento do design de marcas. Foi realizada uma revisão de literatura (em AI e design), analise de estudos feitos anteriormente e entrevistas, para assim criar uma proposta conceptual de um modelo de criação de logos através de inteligência artificial. Concluiu-se que apesar de parecer que a inteligência artificial poderá estar perto de criar logos, na realidade ainda se encontra longe de tal objetivo. Apesar disso, o estudo da inteligência artificial em design pode mesmo ajudar os designers, com ferramentas novas que permitirão este trabalhar melhor, especialmente na parte de formalização de ideias e pesquisa e a solidificarem a disciplina teoricamente
