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
βEnhanced Encryption and Fine-Grained Authorization for Database Systems
The aim of this research is to enhance fine-grained authorization and encryption
so that database systems are equipped with the controls necessary to help
enterprises adhere to zero-trust security more effectively. For fine-grained
authorization, this thesis has extended database systems with three new
concepts: Row permissions, column masks and trusted contexts. Row
permissions and column masks provide data-centric security so the security
policy cannot be bypassed as with database views, for example. They also
coexist in harmony with the rest of the database core tenets so that enterprises
are not forced to compromise neither security nor database functionality. Trusted
contexts provide applications in multitiered environments with a secure and
controlled manner to propagate user identities to the database and therefore
enable such applications to delegate the security policy to the database system
where it is enforced more effectively. Trusted contexts also protect against
application bypass so the application credentials cannot be abused to make
database changes outside the scope of the applicationβs business logic. For
encryption, this thesis has introduced a holistic database encryption solution to
address the limitations of traditional database encryption methods. It too coexists
in harmony with the rest of the database core tenets so that enterprises are not
forced to choose between security and performance as with column encryption,
for example. Lastly, row permissions, column masks, trusted contexts and holistic
database encryption have all been implemented IBM DB2, where they are relied
upon by thousands of organizations from around the world to protect critical data
and adhere to zero-trust security more effectively
Data Ingredients: smart disclosure and open government data as complementary tools to meet policy objectives. The case of energy efficiency.
Open government data are considered a key asset for eGovernment. One could argue that governments can influence other types of data disclosure, as potential ingredients of innovative services. To discuss this assumption, we took the example of the U.S. 'Green Button' initiative β based on the disclosure of energy consumption data to each user β and analysed 36 energy-oriented digital services reusing these and other data, in order to highlight their set of inputs. We find that apps suggesting to a user a more efficient consumption behaviour also benefit from average retail electricity cost/price information; that energy efficiency 'scoring' apps also need, at least, structured and updated information on buildings performance; and that value-added services that derive insights from consumption data frequently rely on average energy consumption information. More in general, most of the surveyed services combine consumption data, open government data, and corporate data. When setting sector-specific agendas grounded on data disclosure, public agencies should therefore consider (contributing) to make available all three layers of information. No widely acknowledged initiatives of energy consumption data disclosure to users are being implemented in the EU. Moreover, browsing EU data portals and websites of public agencies, we find that other key data ingredients are not supplied (or, at least, not as open data), leaving room for possible improvements in this arena

Social work with airports passengers
Social work at the airport is in to offer to passengers social services. The main
methodological position is that people are under stress, which characterized by a
particular set of characteristics in appearance and behavior. In such circumstances
passenger attracts in his actions some attention. Only person whom he trusts can help him
with the documents or psychologically
